with a small round one on the same level close to the suture ; 

 a larger oval one on the disk behind these, with a very 

 small one near it close to the suture ; a transverse one just 

 behind these, touching the margin ; a fascia extending from 

 the suture to the margin, interrupted by the second costa : a 

 Bubapical fascia which does not quite reach the suture. The 

 sutural apical angle is not acute as in mutabilis, and the 

 outer tooth is only very slightly prominent. 



Length 19 mm. 



Hub. Philippine Is. {ex coll. D. Sharp). 



Ectinogonia darvjini, sp. n. 



Very broad. Head coppery, rugose, clothed with obscure 

 yellowish pubescence. Thorax a little wider in front of the 

 middle than at the posterior angles, which are not divergent, 

 blackish green, densely and coarsely punctured, rugose at 

 the sides ; median impression parallel-sided, the raised 

 smooth parts have a few punctures, each with a rather broad 

 bluish-green expansion near the front extending halfway to 

 the anterior angle. Elytra densely and finely punctured, 

 with larger punctures intermixed, the punctured parts 

 coppery, the raised interspaces bluish green. The suture 

 only slightly raised. Each elytron has three shining, strongly 

 raised, smooth, nearly black costse, broad at the base, 

 gradually narrowed posteriorly, all meeting near the apex ; 

 the third or outer one somewhat interrupted posteriorly. 

 Each costa has several green punctured impressions. Be- 

 tween the third costa and the margin there is a fourth costa, 

 beginning behind the middle and extending to the apex ; 

 this has three or four coppery punctured impressions. The 

 apex of each elytron is obliquely emarginate. Underside 

 bright coppery, strongly punctured ; the middle of the pro- 

 sternum bluish green. The margins of the abdominal 

 segments shaded with golden green. 



Length 32, lat. 11 mm.

The specimen described was in a box of miscellaneous 

 S.-Amei lean insects collected by C. Darwin during the voyage 

 of the 'Beagle.' It was standing by a label "from the 

 Booby, St. Pauls/' which referred to a species of Onithomi/ia, 

 but it is very improbable that it came from that island.' It 

 is almost certainly from Chili.
