Bu-prestidcB from the Philippine Islands. 309 



round impression above the angle. Elytra transversely 

 rugose at the base, green, with the suture and margins 

 coppery, each with the suture and four lines raised; 

 between these more elevated lines are somewhat irregular 

 intermediate costse. The ground of the elytra is very 

 finely and closely punctured, the more elevated lines 

 smooth, with occasional punctures, the intermediate ones 

 rugose on their sides; lateral margins denticulate pos- 

 teriorly. Beneath and legs punctured, dark coppery 

 brown. 



Length 15 lines ; breadth 5 lines. 



Hab. — N. Luzon. 



Closely allied to eximia, L. & G., but I can find no in- 

 termediate forms, so I describe it as distinct ; the inter- 

 mediate costte. at once distinguish them. 



Should follow eximia, L. & G. 



Chrysodema purpureicollis, E. S. 



Capite purpureo-fosco. Thorace purpureo viridi-mi- 

 cante, fortiter punctato, linea dorsali elevata, lateribus 

 postice transversim foveatis. Elytris viridibus, utrinque 

 lineis quatuor suturaque elevatis ; lateribus inauratis, 

 disco utrinque supra medium macula parva cuprea notato. 

 Subtus purpureo-fusca. 



Head purple-brown, finely punctured and excavated. 

 Thorax purple, with green reflections, largely and deeply 

 punctured, dorsal line raised and smooth ; sides each with 

 a deep transverse impression just above the base, lateral 

 margins golden posteriorly, base nearly straight. Elytra 

 green, very finely and closely punctured and subrugose; 

 the rugosities smooth, each elytron with the suture and 

 four lines raised, and cyaneous-black, sides of each golden- 

 coppery colour, the colour extending from the shoulder 

 not quite to the apex, and extending just below the middle 

 into a sort of coppery spot ; there is also a small round 

 coppery spot on the disk of each, just above the middle ; 

 sides denticulate posteriorly, apex of each finely truncate. 

 Beneath coppery-brown, punctured and finely pubescent.
