CALLIgTOPOPILLIA. 93 



70. Callistopopillia iris. 



Anomala iris, Candeze,* Col. Hefte, v, 1869, p. 43. 



Bright metallic green above and beneath, with the sides of the 

 elytra (but not the extreme edges) golden and in part fiery-red, 

 the tarsi blue-black. 



The whole surface is extremely glossy and shining, with scanty 

 hairs beneath and upon the pygidium. The form is ovate (rather 

 broadly in the female) and not very convex. 

 The clypeus is broadly rounded and coarsely 

 and rugosely punctured, with the suture 

 deeply impressed. The forehead is finely 

 and closely punctured. The pronotum has 

 a few minute scattered punctures at the 

 sides ; the lateral margins are strongly 

 bisinuated, sharply convergent in front, 

 and all the angles acute. The basal margin 

 is very gently excised in the middle and 

 more strongly on each side. The scu- 

 tellum is nearly equilateral, with the sides 

 Fig. 21. Callisto- curved and the apex blunt. The elytra 

 vopittia iris, male. are lightly strioh.ted, with obsolescent 

 punctures in the striae and the intervals 



smooth. The pygidium is smooth in the middle, rugosely punc- 

 tured and scantily hairy at the sides, and bearing a few long 

 hairs just before the apex. The mesosternum is produced 

 forward into a strong, nearly straight, compressed process, blunt 

 at the end. The metasternum is smooth in the middle, coarsely 

 rugose at the sides, and the abdomen is almost smooth. 

 Length, 9-12-5 mm. ; breadth, 6-5-8 mm.

71. Callistopopillia lurida, sp. nov. 



Steely bluish or greenish black, with the scutellum, elytra 

 (except at the edges), the femora and parts of the tibiae, and the 

 lower surface of the body lurid coppery-red. 



It is oval in shape and very smooth and shining above, with 

 the lower surface, legs and posterior part of the pygidium clothed 

 with rather long greyish hair. The head is densely rugose, 

 except upon the vertex, which is almost smooth. The clypeus is 

 broadly semicircular. The pronotum bears only a few minute 

 scattered punctures; the sides are angulated in the middle, 

 nearly straight in front of the angulation, slightly concave 

 behind, with the front angles blunt but a little produced, the 

 hind angles acute and the base very feebly excised before the 

 scutellum. The scutellum is scarcely punctured, very short and 

 rounded at the apex. The elytra exhibit feebly impressed lines
