Disteniafashiosa, Pascoe, Ann. &Mag. Nat. Hist. Oct. 

 1871, p. 274. — Distinguished from D. rvfipes (which has 

 a similar bright green colour, and red legs) by the coarse 

 lincate-punctate base, and smooth apex, of the elytra; D. 

 rvfipes being more uniformly punctulate.

 tales specimens are much lai'ger than the one 1 have 

 from the former locality, and may prove distinct.
