TEICHOCHEYSEA. 389 



689. Trichochrysea antennata, sp. n. 



Violaceous ; antennae black, basal joints fulvous ; labrum metallic 

 green. 



Closely covered with long grey pubescence. Head strigose on 

 vertex, rather closely punctured on the front ; palpi fulvous ; 

 antennae short, not extending much beyond base of elytra, basal 

 three joints fulvous, basal joint piceous above, terminal five strongly 

 widened, scarcely longer than broad. Thorax nearly twice as broad 

 as long, lateral margins very feebly rounded, anterior angles pro- 

 minent, surface finely and closely punctured, but the interstices 

 wider than the punctures. Scutellum broader than long, finely 

 punctured. Elytra broadly subquadrately ovate, very feebly trans- 

 versely depressed below base, more strongly, but not more closely 

 punctured than the thorax. Prosternum subquadrate, closely 

 punctured. 



Length 6-74 mm. 



Hob. Sikhim : Mungphu ; Burma. 



Very closely allied to T. hirta, Fabr., but more shining in 

 appearance and less closely pubescent. The principal distinction, 

 however, is that the antennae have their terminal joints dilated, 

 while they are filiform and elongate in T. hirta.

id. (Bromius) Journ. Ent. ii, 1865, p. 440. 



Dark cupreo-aneous ; base of antennae fulvous ; the whole body 

 clothed with long, suberect, silvery-grey hairs. 



Head extremely closely punctured, furnished with a small central 

 tubercle ; clypeus of male produced at either side into a strong 

 tooth ; labrum metallic green or aeneous ; antenna) rather slender, 

 basal joint aeneous, following three or four joints fulvous, rest 

 black. Thorax subglobose or subcylindrical, surface rather strongly 

 rugose-punctate, interstices at the sides confluent. Scutellum 

 closely punctured, greenish. Elytra feebly depressed below base, 

 more finely punctured than the thorax, puncturation arranged in 

 very irregular rows, interstices everywhere finely punctured. 



Length 6-7 mm.

691. Trichochrysea severini, Jac. Mem. Soc. Ent. Belg. vii, 1900, 



p. 109. 



Cupreous or dark aeneous ; basal joints of antennae and the tibiae 

 more or less fulvous. 



Head finely and rather closely punctured; clypeus semicir- 

 cularly emarginate in front ; labrum flavous, stained with aeneous ; 

 antennas with the basal five or six joints fulvous, rest fuscous. 

 Thorax strongly subcylindrical, sides straight (not rounded as 

 originally given), puncturation rather close and somewhat stronger 

 than that on the head, interstices clothed with long stiff black
