tlie base, one ou eiich side of the sublateral green line, 

 placed obliquely. The niar<?in is green. The anterior area 

 between the green line and the margin is somewhat swollen, 

 and the punctuation here is distinctly less close than in 

 H. \0-unpressa. The elytra liave the lines of punctures 

 quite distinct, much more so than in H. lO-impressa. Each 

 elytron has the following golden-green marks : — a short 

 stripe near the scntelluni ; a basal fovea ; a streak below the 

 humeral callus ; a moderately large impressed ovate spot on 

 the disk at one-thiid from the base, and immediately above 

 this there is a short oblique streak ; a fine, scarcely noticeable 

 streak above the sublateral carina, almost uniting with the 

 spot below the humeral callus ; a large, transverse, impressed 

 spot at one third from the apex ; a stripe at the suture at 

 the apex ; the extreme margin is very narrowly edged with 

 green. Tibiae cyaneous.

Halecia elonyata, sp. n. 



Very elongate and narrow. Purple-coppery, reflecting 

 green shades in certain lights; smooth, shining; below 

 seueous. Head very densely and rugosely punctured in 

 front, the punctures slightly separated on the vertex. 

 Thorax purple with green sides ; broadest rather behind the 

 middle, slightly narrowed in front ; gently sinuate before 

 the hind angles, which are acute. There is a distinct elongate 

 impression in the middle of the base. The punctures on the 

 disk are very distinct, variable in size, not very close together; 

 at the sides they are closer, and are slightly crowded at the 

 front angles. Elytra rather deeply striated, the strire rather 

 strongly and closely punctured; the interstices gently 

 convex, smooth ; the sides rather closely but vaguely 

 punctured. The marginal serration is strong and acute. 

 The apex of each elytron is emarginate, the sutural and outer 

 teeth tlius formed nearly equal. Femora aeneous-black. 

 Tibiae and tarsi ferruginous, slightly pubescent. Antennae 

 reddish brown, long, the third to seventh joints very elongate. 

 Abdomen in the middle finely punctured, the punctures not 

 very close together ; at the sides the punctuation is finer 

 and much closer, with fine pubescence.
