835. Cleorma lefevrei, Jac. Entomologist, 1890, p. 116. 



Metallic dark blue ; basal three joiuts of the antennae fulvous, 

 basal joint metallic blue or green above ; abdomen bluish-black. 



Broadly rounded. Head remotely but rather strongly punc- 

 tured ; anterior edge of clypeus deeply emarginate ; antennae 

 rather long, terminal joints black. Thorax about half as broad 

 again as long, sides nearly straight, narrowed anteriorly, finely 

 and subremotely punctured. Elytra slightly wider at the base 

 than the thorax, with a short but deep depression below the base, 

 finely punctate-striate except within the depression where the 

 punctures are stronger, apex nearly obsoletely punctured. Legs 

 metallic green ; flanks of thorax strongly punctured. 



Length 3 ram. 



Hab. Burma : Euby Mines ; China. 



Originally described from China ; the Burma specimens are 

 rather smaller, but there seem to be no differences of sufficient 

 importance to justify specific separation. The species may be 

 known by the rather fine puncturation of the head and thorax 

 and the somewhat less transverse shape of the latter as compared 

 with its congeners. 



Thorax strongly, often confluentty, punctured. 



836. Cleorma nobilis, Lefev. Cat. Eumolp. 1885, p. 144, note 6. 



Greenish-aeneous beneath, metallic green above with a golden 

 cupreous tint ; labrum piceous ; palpi and the basal joints of the 

 antennae fulvous ; apex black. 



Head distantly punctured, feebly strigose behind the eyes, 

 faintly impressed on middle of front. Thorax closely and strongly 

 punctured, subarcuate at the sides. Scutellum smooth. Elytra 

 round, moderately excavate below the base, punctate-striate, 

 punctures stronger within the depression, nearly obsolete at apex ; 

 humeral callus very prominent. Prosternum very broad. Legs 

 greenish ; tarsi bluish-black. 



Length 5|-6 mm. 



Hab. India; Burma: Palon. 



In a specimen from Burma before me, which I refer to this 

 species, the head and thorax are reddish-cupreous, the elytra 

 metallic green.

 p. 40. 



Obscure greenish-aeneous ; above aureous ; antennae black, basal 

 four joints flavous ; elytra narrowly margined with metallic 

 green. 



Short and ovate, very convex ; clypeus not separated from the 

 face, its anterior border angulate-emarginate ; front impressed 

 with a shallow fovea. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long,
