108 Mr. A. Murray on Coleoptera from Old Calabar. 



Head convex, faintly aciculated, slightly impressed longi- 

 tudinally, and with a narrow canal on the inner margin 

 of the eye ; eyes rather flat. Thorax without impressions, 

 narrowed behind, transversely plicate, with the posterior an- 

 gles obtusely rounded, the anterior angles projecting, anterior 

 margin sinuate ; posterior basal median lobe moderate. Scu- 

 tellum broad and ridged in front, acuminate behind. Elytra 

 acicularly punctate, with the apex cuneate-truncate, denticu- 

 late, and clothed with a small band of whitish pile. Under- 

 side acicularly punctate, with a frequent short pale pubescence. 

 Tarsi moderate in length, the first article long, longest in the 

 posterior tarsi. 



Several specimens received. 



2. Agrilus Bonvouloirii. 



Subopacus, capite et thorace brunneo-genescentibus, elytris 

 viridibus ; elongatus, capite et thorace aciculatim transverse 

 plicatis ; elytris subrugose aciculatim punctatis ; subtus 

 geneo-cupreus. 



Long. 5 lin., lat. 1 lin. 



Above somewhat dull ; head and thorax browni«li brassy ; 

 elytra green, with a purplish tinge when looked at horizontally 

 from before or behind ; the underside shining greenish coppery 

 brassy ; elongate, nearly of the size and shape of Agrilus hi- 

 guttatus^ but a little smaller and more attenuated in front. 

 Head irregularly transversely and obliquely acicularly plicate, 

 the plicge curved ; a narrow longitudinal depression down the 

 forehead, and a narrow canal along the inner margin of the eye. 

 Thorax transverse, transversely finely plicate, unequal, broader 

 than long, slightly narrowest in front ; anterior margin nearly 

 straight, sides subparallel ; basal margin with the median lobe 

 short, broad, and its sides oblique, a curved raised space at 

 each posterior angle, with a sinuate depression winding round 

 in front of it. Scutellum broad at the base, with a transverse 

 basal ridge, acuminate at the apex. Elytra acicularly sub- 

 rugosely punctate, with a basal triangular fovea at the inner 

 side of the shoulder, slightly expanded behind the middle ; 

 apex conical, sharply denticulate. Underside bright shining 

 greenish coppery brassy, bluish under the thighs, acicularly 

 punctate, the segments of the abdomen not much more thickly 

 punctate in front than behind. Tarsi as long as the tibiae, 

 first joint as long as all the rest put together. 



One specimen.
