274 Mr. G. Lewis on 



Oblong-oval, rather depressed, ptceous, shining ; the head 

 faintly impressed anteriorly, transverse stria not well-marked 

 and interrupted on either side ; the thorax gradually narrowed 

 from the base to the anterior angles, marginal stria extremely 

 fine and continued round the angle to a point behind the eye, 

 lateral stria almost reaches the marginal behind the anterior 

 angles, surface smooth, with a very small anti-scutellar punc- 

 ture; the elytra, humeral stria* wanting, save the oblique 

 basal which is very fine, dorsal 1-2 complete and parallel one 

 to another, each turning in a little at the base, 3 widely 

 interrupted in the middle and extremely fine, only seen in 

 certain lights, at the base ; the propygidium is transversely and 

 irregularly punctured ; the pygidium is more regularly punc- 

 tate, but the basal edge is narrowly smooth, the sides are a 

 little raised ; the presternum, anterior lobe marginate, keel 

 rather wide; the mesosternum with a well-defined marginal 

 stria and anteriorly widely sinuous ; the anterior tibias have 

 three large blunt teeth, resembling those of Hololepta ob- 

 tusipes, Mars., and a rudiment of a fourth at the base. 



There is no known species of Platysoma to which this can 

 well be compared, but it may be placed near P. sincerum, 

 Sch.

Oblong-oval, rather convex, greenish blue, shining, beneath 

 black ; the head rather feebly impressed anteriorly, lateral 

 stria narrowly interrupted over the eyes, oblique anteriorly 

 and not joining in front, surface with some very small 

 scattered irregular punctures ; the thorax, marginal stria 

 complete but fine behind the head and close to the margin, 

 surface with a few punctures chiefly at or just behind the 

 anterior angles ; the elytra, strise, outer humeral complete and 

 very distinct, inner basal and dimidiate, oblique basal very 

 fine, dorsal 1—2 complete and not very deeply impressed, 

 3 finer and although almost complete has a tendency to be 

 evanescent behind the middle, 4, 5, and sutural are wanting ; 

 the propygidium is faintly impressed on either side of the 

 posterior edge, surface distinctly but not closely punctured ;
