SCHIZORHINA IVVSSII. 



Describi'd in the 'Annals and Mag. of Nat. History' (vol. xx. 

 p. 264). The genus Bassia was not named after Mr. G. Bass.

Head rather closely punctured, very slightly notched in front, 

 above distinctly punctured. Thorax indistinctly punctured, except 

 before the hind angles, shaped much as in II. insularis, of a highly 

 polished but obscure brassy green, thickened margin of thorax in 

 front yellow, the yellow continuous (beyond the middle of the edge) 

 on the inner side ; thorax on each side with a narrow irregularly- 

 edged yellow line, almost parallel with the edge, and truncated and 

 somewhat dilated behind ; before the posterior thoracic lobe are two 

 small triangular yellow spots, Scutellum yellow; margins, especially 

 at the apex, green ; each elytron is irregularly margined with yellow 

 on the sides at the base, and there are six to eight irregular yellow 

 marks, one before the apex somewhat transverse ; sides of meso- and 

 metathorax yellow ; sides of abdomen with three yellow spots ; 

 pygidium with two yellow marks nearly covering it, and divided by a 

 pear-shaped green spot, or green extended so as to leave only four 

 small yellow spots ; tibiae and tarsi tinted with purplish ; base of 

 anterior femora and coxse rufous. This species quite connects the 

 subgenera Hemipharis and Diaphonia, and shows the accuracy of the 

 views of that learned entomologist Dr. Schaum. The two specimens 

 are females, and have short lamellae to the antennae.

 gillivray, the able naturalist to H.M.S. ' Her.ald.'

In size between P. ferrugineu and P. regalis ; above, including 



\ipper side of legs, it is of a fine dull, dark velvety green, which, 



when rubbed, displays beneath a metallic base, as in many of the
