This handsome species is very distinct from its only con- 

 gener (A. odontoceroides, Thorns.) in its stonter form and 

 different coloration. The only specimen I have seen is a 

 female, in which the antenna} extend only in a slight degree 

 beyond the prothorax. Artimpaza,the name given to the genus 

 by M. Thomson, is the name of the Scythian Venus, and is 

 one of the many names to which the authors of the excel- 

 lent ' Catalogus Coleopterorum ' attached a doubtful or no 

 meaning. 



Artimpaza bicolor. 



A. nitide rufescens, elytris nigrescentibus ; eapite rude punctato ; 

 antenuis corpore lougioribus (J 1 ), linearibus, articulo secundo 

 longiusculo, tertio ad septimum apice, caeteris omnino, infuscatis; 

 prothorace antice glabro, in medio parce punctato, postice depresso ; 

 scutello oblongo albo-toruentoso ; elytris parallelis, sat confer tim 

 punctatis, apicibus obtusis ; femoribus posticis ad apicem ab- 

 dominis fere protensis ; tarsis infuscatis ; corpore infra glabro.

The antennas in my specimen agree with the description of 

 M. Thomson of those of the male of A. odontoceroides, the 

 type ; but it is so different from those of the female that I 

 should have hesitated about placing them in the same genus. 

 This species wants the vitreous stripe on the elytra, the apices 

 of which are not pointed ; the posterior femora also are 

 longer, reaching nearly to the end of the abdomen. 



ClyteUus olesteroides. 



C. niger, subnitidus ; eapite verticali, antice argenteo-pubescente, 

 inter oculos lobo bifido erecto instructo ; antenuis nigris ; pro- 

 thorace elongato, postice valde constricto, antice gibboso, in medio 

 linea modice elevata munito ; scutello oblongo, albo-piloso ; elytris 

 parallelis, in medio constrictis, humeris prominulis, subtiliter 

 punctatis, fascia mediana apicibusque albo-sericeis ; corpore infra 

 sericeo-argenteo. Long. 3 lin.

As in C. IVestwoodii, there are no tubercles at the base of 

 the elytra, the absence of which and the " non-perpendicular" 

 head seemed to Lacordaire to indicate a separate genus. The 

 former character appears to me to be scarcely more than 

 specific, and I see no difference in the latter independent of 

 the setting of the specimen. This species is very interesting,
