Hah. Alu Island, Solomon Archipelago {C. M.Woodford). 



This species is closely allied to G. cyaneipennis, Thorns., 

 and may possibly be only a local race of that species. The 

 female very closely resembles the same sex of cyaneipennis 

 and is marked with six white spots, arranged similarly in 

 the form of a hexagon, on the anterior half of the elytra : 

 but it wants the additional white spot behind the middle of 

 each elytron which is present in the latter. In the male of 

 G. cyaneipennis there are eight white spots on the elytra, 

 arranged as in the female but less distinct, and exhibiting a 

 tendency to merge into the faint grey pubescence which 

 covers the elytra. In the male of the present form the 

 elytra have a darker but fainter pubescence and show no 

 trace of white spots.

2 . Head strongly punctured all over, but with the punc- 

 tures less closely placed on the sides than on the front and 

 vertex ; without spots or bands of any kind. Thorax closely 

 and strongly punctured, dark violet with black indumentum, 

 with a white patch on each side just above the coxal cavity ; 

 disk in the middle with a short linear white spot in front 

 and a triangular spot at the base. Scutellum blackish, with 

 a white spot behind. Elytra strongly punctured : each with 

 four white spots between the base and middle, a quadrangular 

 spot placed near the suture just behind the middle, and a 

 transverse white spot or fascia a little in front of the apex. 

 Of the four anterior spots three are in the same line along 

 the middle of the disk, the first being quite close to the
