358 Mr. G. J. Ano\r on the 



Hah. Ceylon : Ambalangoda {E. E. Green, March 1911). 



Bright grass-green, with the clypeus, lateral margins of 

 the prothorax and elytra pea-green_, and the lower surface 

 and legs golden red, with tlie sides of the metasternum and 

 outer edges of the tibiie more or less green. 



The body is compact, oval, convex, and very smooth and 

 sbining. The clypeus is broad, nearly straight in front, and 

 finely and rugosely punctured, the clypeal suture straight 

 and impressed, and the forehead densely punctured. The 

 pronotum is rather closely and strongly punctured, espe- 

 cially at the sides; it is strongly rounded laterally, with the 

 front angles rather sharp and the hind angles right angles. 

 The base is broadly rounded in the middle and not margined. 

 The scutellum is finely and sparingly punctured. The elytra 

 arc rather scantily and shallow ly punctured, the punctures 

 becoming rather coarse at the sides and apices, and most of 

 them forming imperfect longitudinal lines. The marginal 

 membrane is narrow. The pygidium is finely and rather 

 irregularly punctured. The metasternum is densely punc- 

 tured and hairy at the sides, smooth and shining in the 

 middle, and there is a short but sharp mesosternal process. 

 The front tibia is strongly bidentate, and the longer claw of 

 the front and middle tarsi is cleft. 



J' . The inner front claw is broad, acute, and strongly 

 angnlated at the middle of its lower edge. 



This is an interesting connecting-link between those forms 

 which have a mesosternal process and the Euchlora group, in 

 which there is none, but to which A. chloromela has in all 

 other respects the closest resemblance.
