314 Mr. Edward Saunders' Notes on 



the second pair of legs in tlie male are densely pubescent 

 beneath. The antennae are very long and each joint is 

 furnished with several long hairs. In the female there is 

 no villosity on the legs, and the antennce are shorter, 

 although not so short as in the other species of the genus; 

 the joints are hairy, but the hairs are not so long as in the 

 male. The species varies much. I have four specimens 

 which are entirely of an olive-green colour, the punctures 

 and fovete being green instead of golden. The elytra also 

 show no signs of longitudinal costa3. I thought at first 

 they would form a second species, but have no doubt they 

 are really all the same.

Differs from the type in being rather more robust and 

 more strongly punctured in the female. The shoulders of 

 the elytra are also more prominent. 



Many specimens.

Caput rugosum, viride. Thorax viridis, valde punctatus, 

 lateribus rugosis, linea dorsali antice impressa posticc 

 foveolata, basi prope angulos posteriores foveata. Elytra 

 cyaneo-nigra, sutura viridi ; vitrinque undecim foveis

Head and thorax shining green. Elytra cyaneous- 

 black, with the suture green ; each with eleven round 

 white spots. Beneath green, with the sides of the abdo- 

 men spotted with white. 



Head rugose. Thorax Avith its front margin produced 

 in the middle. Sides strongly angulated about the middle, 

 the angle rounded. Surface deeply and remotely punc- 

 tured on_ the disk, rugose on the sides ; dorsal line im- 

 pressed in front, being formed by numerous confluent 

 punctures. At the base, just above the scutellum, is a 

 round fovea, and a larger one near each posterior angle.
