Sternoccelis politus, Schmidt, 1888. 



Having now a long series of this species I am able to say- 

 that S. cancer J Lew., is a large and mature form of S. jyolitus, 

 Sch., and that S. SediUoti, Lew., is a small and colour 

 variety also of the same species. I found all the varieties at 

 Constantine this spring. Herr Schmidt's name has the 

 priority of mine by a few months. 



NOTOLISTER, gen. nov. 



This genus is founded to receive Sternaulacc Edwardsii^ 

 Mars., Epierus imitans, Lew,, and E, dux, Lew., all from 

 Madagascar. The essential characters are that the anteunal 

 fossettes are less open than in Sternaulax, the prosternum is 

 truncate behind, and the mesosternum very feebly sinuous or 

 straight, not emarginate ; the tarsal grooves are straight and 

 open on the outer side in the anterior tibiffi and the inter- 

 mediate tibije are multispinose. In Sternaulax the tarsal 

 grooves are deep and sinuous and the mesosternum emar- 

 ginate. Notolister may be placed in the catalogue before 

 Epierus. 



Carcinops Blandfordij sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovalis, depressiuscula, nitidissima ; capite thoraceque laete 

 viridi-aeneis ; elytris purpureo-aureis ; antennis piceis, clava flava. 

 L. 2| mill. 



Oblong-oval, rather depressed, brightly metallic ; the head 

 and thorax brilliant brassy green, with the elytra of a rich 

 golden purple hue ; the head punctulate, punctures varying 

 in size, with a small medial fovea before the neck ; the thorax 

 punctured like the head, marginal stria complete anteriorly, 

 with a very distinct antescutellar fovea ; the elytra, striae 1-4 

 complete, 5 and sutural abbreviated at the base ; the pro- 

 pygidium and pygidium golden green, punctured like the 

 head ; the prosternum, strife sinuous in the middle and 

 not meeting either before or behind ; the mesosternum feebly 

 and widely emarginate on the anterior edge, with a bisinuous 

 stria along it. Beneath golden green ; legs piceous, tarsi 

 flavous. 



This pretty species is at present the only brilliant Carcinops 

 knowm. 



Hah. Jamaica. Taken last year on the Blue Mountains 

 by Mr. Maurice Blandford, after whom I have much pleasure 

 in naming it.
