POLYZOXUS. 



each side, with a very small obtuse tubercle at the middle ; trans- 

 versely, but somewhat irregularly, rugulose above, in part rugulose- 

 punctate ; the prosternum convex, very densely and rather finely 

 rugulose-punctate. Scutellum rugulose. Elytra densely and very 

 finely punctulate ; the shoulders less densely punctulate, the 

 sutural nitid band subrugulose. Body beneath, the prosternum 

 excepted, covered with silvery -grey pubescence. Femora glabrous^ 

 nitid, very densely punctured ; the hind pair reach nearly, but 

 not quite, to the apex of the elytra. First joint of the hind 

 tarsus distinctly longer than the next two joints united. Fifth 

 abdominal segment arcuately emarginate at the apex, the sixth 

 feebly emarginate, almost truncate, at the apex. 



Length 26-27 ; breadth 7 mm. 



Hab. Upper Burma : North Chin Hills (Capt. Watson').

Dark metallic green or blue above and for the most part rather 

 dull ; underside bright green with a covering of fine silvery-grey 

 pubescence ; legs dark blue, subnitid ; antennae with the first 

 joint green, subnitid, the intermediate joints violaceous and the 

 last five or six dull black. Head densely rugulose-punctate above 

 and on the front ; the clypeus somewhat transversely rngulose. 

 Antennae about equal in length to the body in the tf , slightly 

 shorter in the $ ; with the joints successively thicker from the 

 fifth or sixth to the eighth, and then to the eleventh successively 

 narrower, the eighth joint somewhat thicker than the first ; the 

 joints very feebly or not at all angulated at the apex. Prothorax 

 with a smooth, glossy, rather obtusely pointed tubercle on each 

 side ; the disc densely rugulose-punctate and more or less opaque 

 in the middle, the sides and base somewhat transversely striated 

 and subnitid. Scutellum smooth. Elytra obtusely rounded at 

 the apex ; finely and very densely rugulose-punctate and dull, the 

 punctures a little stronger and less dense near the base. Hind 

 femora extend to the apex of the abdomen in the <$ but not 

 quite to the apex of the elytra ; in the $ they do not reach 

 past the fourth segment. First joint of the hind tarsi shorter 

 than the succeeding joints united. Fifth abdominal segment with 

 a rather deep sinuate emargination, and the sixth subtruncate, 

 at the apex in the c? ; fifth minutely truncate at the apex in 

 the $.
