 THIS handsome species is nearly of the same size as 

 that last noticed, and very similar to it in shape. 

 The snout, however, is rather longer in proportion 

 to the body, rather tapering more towards the ex- 

 tremity, and considerably more curved. The whole 

 body, as well as the snout, is black, somewhat shin- 

 ing, and slightly glossed with green ; antennae and 

 eyes greyish ; legs brownish-black. The ground 

 colour of the hem elytra is dark-brown, the surface 

 marked with numerous large rounded spots, those 

 towards the base glaucous-green, the others appear 

 ing yellowish-green, owing to the numerous reticul- 

 ated nervures of that colour which traverse them. 

 The wings are brownish-black posteriorly, the whole 

 basal region brilliant bluish-green, which colour 

 emits irregular rays towards the hinder margin. 

 Found at Tranquebar, on the Coromandel coast.
