scarcely visible. 
Chrysodema purpureo~mpressa, H. Deyr. 
Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgique, vin. p. 18. 
Two specimens, one of which is covered with a greenish 
powder. 
Chrysodema Lambi, n. s. (Pl. XXV. fig. 2.) 
Viridis. Caput rugose punctatum. L/ytra_punctata, 
striata, utrinque ‘tribus lineis elevatis et duabus im- 
pressionibus i igneo-cupreis. Subtus punctata. 
Head golden, vertex with a green dorsal line. Thorax 
green with purple reflections, on each side of the dorsal 
line is a golden one, and the depressed portions of the 
surface are covered with a yellow powdery pubescence. 
Elytra greenish, with red reflections on their basal half 
and apex ; disk of each with two coppery red fovez, and 
a small spot of the same colour behind the shoulder. In 
fresh examples the foveze would evidently be filled with 
yellow mealy pubescence. Beneath, and legs, golden 
green. Antenne blue-black, their three basal jomts green. 
Head rugosely punctured, broadly excavated between 
the eyes. Thorax a quarter as broad again as long; 
anterior margin nearly straight, three quarters the 
length of the base, its angles produced ; sides and base 
straight ; disk deeply punctate, with a broad smooth 
dorsal ine; near the posterior angles, on either side, is 
an irregular somewhat longitudinal fovea; there is 
another shallower transverse one near the anterior margin. 
Elytra twice as long as broad; sides sinuate below the 
shoulders; apex rounded, posterior margin denticulate ; 
disk punctured, each elytron with three elevated longitu- 
dinal lines, and two fovez, one situated not quite one- 
third of the entire length of the elytra from their base, the 
second a larger one, near the margin, a little less than half 
their length from the apex. Beneath and legs deeply punc- 
tured ; sides of each abdominal segment with a shallow 
impression. 
Length 11 Imes; breadth 4 lines.
