pronotum, and the extremities of tlie elytra fringed with 

 similar hairs. The clypeus is rather small, rounded and 

 strongly reflexed at the margin and rugosely punctured, 

 and the forehead is coarsely punctured. The pronotum is 

 rather strongly and evenly punctured, the sides angulated in 

 the middle, scarcely curved, the hind angles obtuse, the base 

 gently lobed and not margined. The scutellum is rather 

 broad and scarcely punctured. The elytra have several 

 double rows of punctures, with broad and irregularly punc- 

 tured spaces between. The pygidium is strongly punctured. 

 The mesosternum is produced into a narrow, rather com- 

 pressed but not acute process, which is not at all curved 

 but abruptly bent downwards in front of the middle coxae 

 and sometimes nearly vertical. 



(J , The inner front claw forms a broad, rather sharp- 

 ])ointed lamina, very minutely cleft on its outer edge. The 

 club of the antenna is as long as the footstalk. 



Among fifteen specimens in the British Museum, the Paris 

 Museum, and the collection of Baron de Muifarts I have seen 

 no females. 



The deflexion of the sternal process is a peculiar character 

 which I iiave never found elsewhere. The process is gene- 

 rally nearly vertical, but the angle of flexion varies and is 

 occasionally very obtuse.

Huh. Madura: Shembaganur (P. c7« jBre?//Z). 



Pale ytdlow, with a very slight metallic lustre, the head, 

 prothorax, and scutellum coppery green or bronzy. 



It is a stout-bodied ovate insect, with its greatest breadth 

 near the posterior end, and rather thickly clad with greyish 

 hair on the lower surface, the pygidium, and extremities of 

 the elytra. The inner edges of the eyes and the lateral 

 margins of the pronotum are also bordered with white hairs.
