254 Mr. J. S. Baly’s Further Descriptions of 
basi transversim depresso; elytris cyaneis, dorso depressis, 
apice minute serratis. 
Long. 12—2 lin. 
Hab. Bogota. 
Much shorter and proportionately broader than Ch. ruficollis, sides 
of elytra less straight than in that species; thorax as deeply but 
less closely punctured on the sides, depression at the base less 
deeply marked. 
Collections of H. Deyrolle, Rev. H. Clark, and my own. 
Sp. 8. Charistena elegantula. 
Minus elongata, angustata, subcylindrica, dorso subdepressa, 
rufo-fulva, nitida; corpore infra pedibusque nigro-variegatis ; 
oculis antennisque nigris; thorace latitudine vix longiori, 
lateribus fere rectis, ad apicem leniter angustatis ; dorso sub- 
cylindrico, profunde subremote punctato, spatio longitudinali 
centrali impunctato, basi transversim sulcata; elytris nigro- 
cyaneis, apice minute serrais, utrisque puncto apicali, prope 
suturam posito, fulvo. 
Long. 14 lin. 
Hab. New Granada. 
The different form of thorax, together with the different colo- 
ration, will separate this lovely species from Ch. bellula.

Sp. 9. Charistena Pilatei. 
Minus elongata, parallela, subcylindrica, nigra, nitida ; thorace 
fulvo, apice piceo-marginato, dorso subgloboso, basi trans- 
versim sulcato, lateribus subremote disco remote punctato ; 
elytris cyaneis, parallelis, apice minute serratis, utrisque vitta 
fulva a basi apicem versus plus minusve extensa, instructis. 
Long. 2 lin. 
Hab. Teapa. Collected by the late M. Pilate. 
Rather longer, stouter and more parallel than Ch. bellula, to 
which species it is most nearly allied. Elytra parallel, their apex 
broadly rounded. The fulvous stripe on each elytron varies 
greatly in length, and occasionally is nearly obsolete ; the piceous 
apical border of the thorax is also sometimes very much narrowed 
and indistinct. 
In the cabinet of the Rev. H. Clark, also in my own Col- 
lection.
