surface strongly punctured in closely approximate rows, less regular 

 within depression and below shoulders where the interstices are 

 transversely rugose ; interstices on disc longitudinally costate. 

 Legs very elongate ; anterior femora more than usually incrassate, 

 armed with a small tooth; anterior tibiae rather curved, deeply 

 sulcate, apex abruptly thickened and angulate. Flanks of thorax 

 finely strigose. Prosternum deeply punctured posteriorly. 



Length 7 mm.

This species, although not metallic in coloration, agrees in struc- 

 tural characters with the type, except that the anterior femora 

 in the only specimen available for examination are enormously 

 incrassate, which is probably a sexual distinction. 



627. Chrysonopa viridis, sp. n. 



Metallic green or blue ; antennae and legs fulvous or piceous. 



Very elongate. Head very closely and 

 strongly punctured; punctures on the 

 clypeus almost confluent ; the clypeus not 

 separated from the face, anterior edge 

 deeply concavely emarginate ; labrum 

 fulvous ; palpi flavous ; antennae slender, 

 extending below middle of elytra, third 

 and fourth joints elongate, equal, nearly 

 twice as long as the second, following 

 joints shorter and stouter. Thorax 

 scarcely broader than long, sides rounded 

 at the middle, angles mucronate, surface 

 punctured like the head. Elytra wider 

 at base than the thorax, very elongate, 

 deeply transversely depressed below base, 

 shoulders acute, terminating in short 

 costae ; surface deeply punctate-striate 

 except at base and apex where the 

 punctures are finer. Le^s elongate,
