 a fifth row, of square or transverse foveae, occurs between 

 the fourth raised line and the lateral margin ; sides 

 slightly sinuate above the middle ; apex rounded. Be- 

 neath, rugose, pubescent in irregular patches. Legs 

 bronzy. (Antenna wanting) . 



Length 18 lines ; breadth 7 lines, 



Hab. — East (Persia, ?) . 



Catoxantha Mouliotii (H, Deyr.), (PL I. fig. 1). 



C. viridis ; capite inter oculos excavate j thorace 

 prope angulos posteriores testaceo, foveolis duabua 

 ad basin positis; elytris maculis duabus flavis orna* 

 tis : subtus flava; pedibus cyaneis. 



Head and thorax cyaneous, the latter with a somewhat 

 square yellow-brown patch near each posterior angle. 

 Elytra green with brown reflections, each with a trans-

 a curved black line on the breast. Legs cyaneous. 

 Antennae black. 



Head punctured, deeply impressed between the eyes. 

 Thorax, at its base, not quite twice as broad as long ; an- 

 terior margin slightly emarginate, a little more than 

 half as long as the base; sides sinuate till a little above 

 the posterior angles, then distinctly angulate and emar- 

 ginate to the base ; posterior angles acute ; base with a 

 large median lobe ; surface finely and remotely punc- 

 tured in the centre, sides rugose and iiupressed for two- 

 thirds of their length, largely punctured on the basal 

 third ; disc with a slight dorsal line impressed at the 

 base, and raised near its middle ; on each side of it at 

 the base is a large round fovea. Elytra twice and a
