of the Famili/ Rii|)resti(];i\ 583 



Iridotania Jara/id, Kerreuiuus. 



Tlip type specimen of this species agrees well with one in 

 the Museiim collection labcllc:! by Siiundcrs " (iaeata, Deyr., 

 compared with type/' 



Chrysodema navicularis, Kerr. 

 This is the same as C. ventt:aUs, Waterh., which has priority. 



Chrysodema Fairinnirei, Kerr, 



Tn Wytsman's ' Genera/ p. 74, Capt. Kerremans has sunk 

 this species as a synonym of C. Mn'iszechi. This is ati error. 

 It is really a synonym of C. Dohrnli, Sannd. (Mindanao). 

 a. Mniszer.hi, Deyr., has the thorax less closely punctured ; 

 it occurs in Goram and Ceraui. 



Chrysodema sumatrensis, Kerr. 



I doubt if this is distinct from C. JValJacci, Deyr. Capt. 

 Kerremans appears not to have known TVallucei; the speci- 

 men in his collection so named was Mniszechi, Deyr. 



Chrysodema Yerbnryi, sp. n. 



Elonjiate, elliptical, not very convex^ golden green. Thorax 

 gently conA-eXj slightly narrowed in front, closely punctured, 

 the punctuation more dense and finer at the sides than on 

 t!:e disk; the median raised line scarcely noticeable. There 

 is a slight round impression near the side, a little behind the 

 middle. Elytra only a very little wider than the thorax, 

 gently and evenly convex, green with a slight coppery shade. 

 Kather closely and moderately strongly punctured, the 

 punctures uneven in size and quite irregular ; near the base 

 the punctures are rather stronger and are transverse, the 

 intervals forming transverse rugae. The costje which are seen 

 in C. auroplagiata and many other species are only seen in this 

 species at the apex in the form of a y. Near the margin 

 tliere is a finely punctured brassy impression, extending 

 from the apex for two fifths the length of the elytra. Pro- 

 sternum slightly convex, moderately strongly and not very 

 thickly punctured. Antenniie black. Legs rather bluisii 

 green. 



Long. 28, lat. 10 mm. 



Hab. Ceylon, Trincomali (Yerbnry). 



This is quite unlike any other species of this genus known 

 to me.
