534. AULICUS RUFIPES. n. sp. 



Length 2J lines. 



Shorter and broader than A. instabilis. Head and thorax 

 golden green, the latter very hairy and deeply impressed trans- 

 versely and in the middle of the median line. Elytra green and 

 punctate, the punctures large towards the base, but nowhere very 

 deep or regular. Legs and the parts of the mouth entirely pale 

 red. 



535. AULICDS FOVEICOLLIS. n. Sp. 



Length 2f lines. 



Of a more elongate form than the last, entirely of a dark blue 

 with the legs reddish brown, very strongly punctate on the elytra 

 and with an almost triangular fovea in the centre of the thorax.

The specimen before me is smaller than that Mr. Pascoe 

 describes, and has the anterior tarsi of a reddish colour, but in 

 other respects they seem identical. 



537. — Taksosternus pulcher. n. sp. 

 Length 3 lines. 



Elongate, red, nitid, thinly punctate and hairy. Head large, 

 and convex, with the eyes elongate. Thorax not broader than the 

 head, longer than the width, and narrowed at the base. Elytra 

 strongly punctate on the basal half, with a very broad blue 

 fascia about the middle not reaching the suture and with, 

 immediately behind it, a narrow smooth raised white fascia. 

 Under side of body and legs reddish brown. Antennse, basal 

 joints excepted, dark brown. 



This insect has very much the appearance of a Tillus.
