486 Mr. G. J. Arrow 07i new Species of 



spot on eacli, two spots on eacli side of the pygitlium, tlie 

 lower surface, and parts of the legs coppery or greenish 

 black. 



A variety occurs in wliich the dark-coloured areas have 

 extended and broad longitudinal dark bands appear at the 

 suture and sides of the elytra and from tlie shoulder to the 

 apex, leaving only a narrow thoracic margin, the scutelluai, 

 and two ill-defined stripes on each elytron pale. The 

 Madura specimens are all of this variety. 



It is small, ovate, and only sparingly hairy beneath. The 

 liead is rugose and the clypeus rather broadly rounded. The 

 pronotum is very shining, strongly and rather evenly, but not 

 thickly, punctured. The sides are strongly rounded, the 

 front angles nearly right angles, the posterior angles very 

 obtuse, and the base gently rounded, with a marginal line 

 which is almost obsolete in the middle. The scutellum bears 

 a few punctures and the elytra are rather strongly punctured 

 in impressed rows. The pygiduni is coarsely and rather 

 rugosely punctured. The mesosternum is not produced. 

 The metasternum is strongly punctured and thinly hairy at 

 the sides and the abdomen strongly but sparsely punctured. 

 The front tibias are strongly bidentate and the larger claw of 

 the front and middle feet cleft. 



i^ . The inner front claw is broad, acute, and minutely 

 cleft at the upper edge. 



Males of this little species were found by Mi-. Andrewes 

 flying in swarms over giass during the dayti(ue.
