suture remotely and finely punctured, the latter accompanied by 

 one or two longitudinal costae. Anterior femora dilated at the 

 middle and furnished with a more or less distinct tooth. 



Length 6-8 mm. 



Hob. Ceylon. 



In spite of the obsoletely toothed anterior femora in the male, 

 this species, I think, is better placed in Dermorhytis than in Chry- 

 solampra where I located it originally, since the metatarsus of the 

 posterior legs is much shorter than in Chrysolampra and the 

 femoral tooth is very small. 



663. Dermorhytis fulvipes, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent, Belg. xlvii, 1903, 



Cupreous or green ; antennae and legs fulvous, femora sometimes 

 more or less aeneous ; elytra, if green, with rather broad cupreous 

 margins. 



Elongate and parallel-sided. Head very closely rugose-punctate ; 

 clypeus not separated from the face, sculptured like the head ; 

 labrum fulvous ; antennae with the third and fourth joints equal. 

 Thorax subcylindrical, of the same shape as in D. speciosa ; sides 

 straight, more strongly but not so closely punctured than the 

 head, interstices rugose only at the sides. Elytra very elongate 

 and pointed, very closely and moderately strongly punctate- 

 striate near the suture, interstices closely transversely rugose 

 along the lateral areas ; apex furnished with very short grey hairs. 



Length 7 mm. 



Hab. Southern India : Pondicherry, Nilgiris. 



Of the same shape and length as D. speciosa, and difficult to 

 distinguish from that species, but the head more closely and evenly 

 punctured, the antennae and legs fulvous, the thorax not angulate 

 at sides and more finely and closely punctured, the elytral 

 puncturation likewise arranged in closely approximate rows near 

 the suture.

p. 274. 



Greenish-aeneous ; antennae and legs piceous ; thoracic and 

 elytral lateral margins cupreous. 



Narrowly elongate. Head strongly and closely punctured near 

 the eyes, less closely so on the middle; clypeus not separated from the 

 face, closely rugose-punctate, anterior margin cupreous or metallic 

 green, nearly straight ; labrum fulvous ; mandibles black. Antennae 

 fulvous, long and slender, third joint slightly longer thah the 

 fourth, following joints very elongate and slender ; second and 

 following two joints fulvous, rest piceous, basal joint a3neous above, 

 fulvous beneath. Thorax scarcely more than half as broad again 

 as long, sides feebly angulate at middle ; surface evenly, extremely 

 closely and rather strongly punctured ; interstices narrower than
