306 Mr. Edward Saunders' Notes on 



Iridotcenia sulcifera, E. S. 



Purpureo-fusca, capite excavato. Tliorace valde pimc- 

 tato, linea dorsali angusta impressa, foveaqiie longitudinali 

 lateral!. Elytris punctatis, utrinque sulco viridi-neneo or- 

 natis. Subtus cupreo-fusca, punctata. 



Purplish-brown. Head excavated between the eyes, 

 punctured. Thorax largely and deeply punctured, the 

 punctures closer together on the sides ; dorsal line deeply 

 and narrowly impressed. Anterior margin slightly pro- 

 duced, sides nearly straight till they almost reach the 

 head, then rather suddenly converging and continued to 

 the anterior margin, so forming a sort of collar; along 

 each side is a rather deeply-imjaressed line, extending from 

 the base not quite to the anterior margin. Elytra irregu- 

 larly punctured, each with a bronzy-green impressed line, 

 extending from the base near the shoulder to the apex ; 

 sides denticulate near the apex. Beneath and legs cop- 

 pery-brown, finely punctured and covered with very fine 

 white hairs. 



Length 1 2\ lines ; breadth 4 lines. 



Ilab. — Luzon. Unique in the collection. 



Allied to sulcata, Thunb., which it should follow. 



Chrysodemajlavicornis, E. S. 



Caput cupreo-purpureum. Thorax obscure piu-pm-eo- 

 niger, subrugosus, linea dorsali elevata. Elytra profimde 

 et valde punctato-striata, purpureo-nigra, utrinque mai'- 

 ginibus flavo-sulcatis, apice cuprea. Subtus aureo-cuprea, 

 autennis flavis. 



Head coppery-purple, punctured, excavated in front. 

 Thorax largely and irregularly punctured, and somewhat 

 i-ugose, obscure purplish-black, the base with coppery 

 reflections, dorsal line raised. Sides rounded slightly in 

 front, base twice as wide as the anterior margin. Scutellum 

 coppery. ^ Elytra considerably wider than the thorax, 

 slightly sinuate below the shoulders, gradually narrowing 

 from the middle to the apex, and sharply denticulate; 

 purple-black, with their apex coppery ; very largely and 

 deeply punctate-striate, the punctures green, each margin 

 with a golden-green impression extending from the base 

 to the apex and filled with yellow powdery pubescence.
