spot on eaoli, two spots on eacli side of the pygidium, tlie 

 lower surface, and parts of tlie legs coppery or greenish 

 bhuk. 



A variety occurs in which the dark-coloured areas have 

 extended and broad longitudinal dark bands appear at tlie 

 suture and sides of the elytra and from the shoulder to the 

 apeXj leaving only a narrow thoracic margin, the scutellum, 

 and two ill-defined stripes on each elytron pale. The 

 Madura specimens are all of this variety. 



It is small, ovate, and only sparingly hairy beneath. Tlie 

 liead is rugose and the clypeus rather broadly rounded. The 

 pronotum is very shining, strongly and rather evenly, but not 

 thickly, punctured. The sides are strongly rounded, the 

 front angles nearly right angles, the posterior angles very 

 obtuse, and the base gently rounded, with a marginal line 

 which is almost obsolete in the middle. The scutellum bears 

 a few punctures and the elytra are rather strongly punctured 

 in impressed rows. The pygiduin is coarsely and rather 

 rugosely punctured. The mesosternum is not produced. 

 The meiasternum is strongly punctured and thinly hairy at 

 the sides and the abdomen strongly but sparsely punctured. 

 The front tibiae are strongly bidentate and the larger claw of 

 the front and middle feet cleft. 



(^ . The inner front claw is broad, acute, and minutely 

 cleft at the upper edge. 



JMales of this little species were found by Mr. Andrewea 

 flying in swarms over grass during the daytime.
