182 Mr. 0. O. Waterliouse on Colcoptera 



Haplotrinchus viridula, 01. 



By some unaccountable accident Capt. Kerremans had 

 this species in his collection named " cupreomaculata, iSaund./' 

 and it appears under that name as the first species of the 

 genus Haplotrinchus in Wytsman's 'Genera/ p. 127. The 

 true cupreomaculata is a Dicercomorpha somewhat resembling 

 D. javanica, but more finely sculptured and with bright 

 coppery-red ornamentation. 



Chalcophora sexspinosa, Th. 

 This species is a Dicercomorpha allied to cupreomaculata. 



Haplotrinchus splendens, sp. n. 



Head steel-blue, the vertex rich coppery red. Thorax 

 rather strongly but not very closely punctured, dark steel- 

 blue in front, bright metallic coppery red behind and at the 

 sides. Scutidlum rather broad, yellowish coppery, impressed 

 in the middle. Elytra bright metallic green with gold 

 reflections, shading into deep coppery red behind the middle, 

 the apex steel-blue. The lines of punctures very slightly 

 impressed, the interstices very finely punctured. The apex 

 of each elytron with three teeth, the outer one prominent 

 and very acute, the others small. Body beneath dark steel- 

 blue, the tibiae and tarsi ferruginous. 



Length 15 mm.

 sides of the thorax and there are no impressions on the elytra.

Dark steel-blue, the elytra with a purple shade. Resembles 

 D. mutabilis in form. Head strongly rugosely punctured in 

 front. Thorax strongly angulated at the sides, strongly 

 punctured, the punctures not very close together on the disk, 

 crowded at the sides. There is an oblique finely punctured 

 impression in front, commencing at the anterior angle, slightly 

 widening as it extends on to the disk ; a short median im- 

 pressed line in front ; a rather deep, small, golden fovea in 

 the middle of the base. Each elytron has the following 

 well-marked, finely punctured, pale brassy white impres-
