new or little-known Coleoptera from the East. 453 



2. Theodosia magnijica, sp. n. 



J . T. viridis, elj'tris, abdomiue femoribusqiie flavescentibus ; caput 

 cornu longo aureo-igneo simplice ; prothorax cornii aureo-igneo, 

 apice truncate, infra ante medium uni-, versus apicem bituberculato, 

 densissime granulato-punctiilatus, fortiter convexus, laterilms 

 medio rotundatus, postice angustatus, angulis posticis rotundatis ; 

 scutellum elytraque tenuissime punctulata. 



Long. 30, elytr. 14, lat. 12 millim. 



Distinguished from T. Howittii (Cast.) by the yellowish 

 colour ot the elytra, abdomen, and femora, by the prothorax 

 being shaped almost as in T. telifer^ Bates, with the sides 

 rounded in the middle, gradually attenuated near the base, 

 and with this narrowed portion without an elevate margin. 

 The prothoracic horn differs from that of T. Howittii (Cast.) 

 in having three small tubercles underneath, one towards the 

 base and two (one at each side) near the tip. The punctua- 

 tion is extremely fine and dense ; there are no coarse and 

 scattered punctures either on the prothorax or on the elytra, 

 whilst T. Howittii (Cast.) has (besides the fine punctuation) 

 such scattered punctures on the middle of the prothorax and 

 rather dense umbilicate punctures at the base of the elytra. 

 The prothorax is much more convex and the elytra are rela- 

 tively shorter and broader.
