Chrysochroa Saundersii (H. Deyr. MS.), n. sp. 
C. capite viridi, punctato; thorace purpureo-brunneo, lateribus 
aureo-cupreis; elytris thorace concoloribus, fascia testacea in 
medio ornatis. 
Head green on the vertex, golden in front, deeply punctured, 
slightly furrowed on the top, deeply excavated and very rugose 
between the eyes. Antenne blue-black. Thorax transverse, a 
little more than once and a-half as broad as long at the base ; 
anterior margin almost straight, very slightly emarginate in the 
centre, the angles inclining forwards ; sides nearly straight; base 
slightly sinuate, forming a broad and very shallow lobe ; disk with 
a slight central ridge, covered with remote punctures, brown- 
purple, sides brilliantly golden-copper and rugose, posterior 
angles green, the angles themselves smooth and brilliant. Elytra 
finely punctured, about a-fifth wider than the thorax, and three 
and a-half times as long as the head and thorax together ; 
shoulders largely rounded, sides slightly curved inwards as far as 
the centre, where they bulge out very little, and then gradually 
converge to the apex, which is rounded and multidentate, the 
sutural spine longest ; suture and four ridges on each elytron, ap- 
proaching each other at the apex, somewhat elevated ; elytra 
brown-purple with greenish reflexions, each traversed by a broad 
central testaceous band, which scarcely touches the suture, 
and the margins of which are broadly edged with blackish- 
blue. Beneath punctured, brilliant coppery ; each segment of 
the abdomen posteriorly margined with green ; sides of the breast 
and aspot on the anterior margin of each segment of the abdomen 
covered with a shining golden pubescence ; two small spots on the 
anterior margin of the Ist, 8rd and 4th segments shining black $ 
apical segment deeply notched. Legs punctured, green; tarsi 
greenish purple. 
Length 24—19 lines; breadth 8— 3. 
Siam. 
Differs from C. Edmwardsii, Hope, by the sides of the abdomen 
beneath being covered with a golden sericeous pubescence, by 
its more elongate form, and by the shape of the band on the 
elytra.

My specimen differs from M. H. Deyrolle's figure by being of 
a bright green.
