108 Mr. F. Bates on New Oenera 



eight rows, besides a short scutellar one, of foveate impressions, 

 which, small and shallow at the base and by the suture, become 

 gradually larger and deeper at the sides and apex ; intervals 

 reticulately elevated, most strongly so at the sides and apex ; 

 lateral reflexed margins dark bronzed green : underside and 

 legs (more especially on the metasternum, abdomen, and 

 femora) metallic green and purple ; intercoxal process some- 

 what coarsely punctured ; prosternal process subhorizontal, 

 sulcate at each side, the sulci and basal margin very coarsely 

 punctured, the middle portion rugose-punctate ; mesosternum 

 subvertical and deeply and broadly concave in front ; eyes 

 above subrotundate ; legs rather stout. 



Length 5^ lines ; width of elytra across the middle 2 lines. 



Hob. New Caledonia. One example. 



Instantly to be distinguished from all the preceding by the 

 foveate-punctate elytra. 



Callismilax Deplancliei^ n. sp. 



Somewhat broader and less convex than any of the pre- 

 ceding. Head and prothorax black, the latter with green 

 reflections : elytra dark green, the suture narrowly obscure 

 purplish : head moderately punctured, the punctui-es shallow ; 

 front slightly concave : prothorax very strongly transverse, 

 the punctuation much larger and deeper than on the head, the 

 interstices faintly rugulose ; apex slightly emarginate, and 

 but little narrower than the base : elytra obliquely expanded 

 at the sides for a short distance from the humeral angle, thence 

 very gradually narrowed to the apex ; seriate-punctate, the 

 punctures much larger (foveate) and rugged at the sides and 

 apex ; intervals punctured, irregularly transversely, and at the 

 sides and apex rather strongly rugose : underside pitchy black ; 

 intercoxal process sparsely punctured : legs rather stout ; tarsi 

 elongate ; femora steel-blue ; tibiae purplish, with violet re- 

 flections ; prosternal process subhorizontal, almost smooth, 

 concave, and the edges strongly upturned, between the coxae, 

 obliquely impressed at each side, the middle portion produced 

 and a little upturned behind ; mesosternum a little declivous 

 and broadly concave in front : eyes above rotundate. 



Length 5f lines ; width of elytra across the middle 2^ lines. 



Hah. New Caledonia. A single example, received from 

 Paris, labelled ^^OUsthcena Deplancheij Fauvel." I am not 

 aware of any published species bearing that specific title that 

 could by any possibility be the same as ours. 



Easily to be separated from C. Maklini by its broader form, 

 strongly transverse prothorax, different colour, sculpture, &c.
