COKYNOBES. 501 



dark bluish-green, apical segments and the tarsi clothed with 

 fusco-flavous pubescence. 



"Length 10 mm. 



" Hah. India." (Marshall.) 



I have not been able to find the type of this species, nor do I 

 know of one with an impunctate head and colour of the antennae 

 as given by the author. The structure of the claws is not 

 mentioned.

 spec. Phytoph. 1864, p. 4. 



Vertex of head cupreous, anterior portion blue or green ; 

 antennae, legs and underside purplish ; thorax blue or partly 

 cupreous ; elytra cupreous, the suture narrowly, a broad transverse 

 band at the middle and a trigonal patch near the apex dark blue 

 margined with green. 



Head with deep central groove, remotely punctured ; supraocular 

 cavities blue, deep and smooth ; clypeus separated from the face 

 by a deep transverse groove, closely punctured ; labrum and 

 mandibles black ; antennae with the terminal five joints broadly 

 widened, basal joints more or less stained with dark fulvous, 

 first joint blue. Thorax about half as broad again as long, 

 sides straight at the base, rounded and narrowed anteriorly, ante- 

 rior angles acutely produced, surface rather strongly but remotely 

 punctured. Scutellum blue. Elytra very convex, without any 

 basal depression, punctured in rather closely approximate and 

 regular rows, the punctures like those on the thorax or somewhat 

 finer. Claws appendiculate. 



Length 8-10 mm. 



Hob. India ; Burma. 



One of the handsomest species of the genus. The elytral 

 transverse band does not extend to either margin and is con- 

 siderably narrowed at its inner portion near the suture ; the 

 subapical patch is likewise transverse and extends across the 

 suture. The head, antennae and legs are wrongly described as 

 black by Baly.

5 . Elongate, metallic green. Head subremotely and finely 

 punctured ; clypeus separated by a deep groove. Thorax trans- 

 verse, rather flat, angles prominent, sides widened from base to 

 apex, rounded anteriorly, puncturation rather fine and remote. 

 Elytra strongly punctured in closely approximate rows, sides with 

 two acute longitudinal costae. Claws appendiculate.
