rngulosis, et longitudinaliter vage super ficialiter flexuoso- 

 imdulatis. Antennis $ corpore paulo breviorilDus ; scapo apico 

 extus spinoso. Long. 10 lin. $ . 



Differs from the otlier species o£ the geuus in the spinose apex 

 of the scape, and the feehleuess of the tooth on the undersurface 

 of the hindmost femora. The length of the antenna^ in the $ is 

 unknown.

Viridi-auratum, siibtus aureum, antennis pedibiisqne nigris, 

 femoribus (basi et apice exceptis) rufis, tarsis argenteo-pilosis : 

 thorace supra passim strigoso, strigis mediis antice usque ad 

 sulcum anteriorem curvatis, inter strigas punctato : elytris con- 

 fertissime et subtilissime punctatis et undulato-strigosis : femorum 

 dentibus brevibus vix acutis. Long. 12-14 Hn. ^ , 9 • 



An apparently common Natal species erroneously determined 

 in some collections as Call, hottcntota, Buq., with the description 

 of which it does not at all agree. Call, hottentota is in fact a 

 true Callichroma, strikingly distinguished by its red metathoracic 

 episterna, as mentioned by Buquet. 



The present species is closely allied to Pit. Sansiharicmn, 

 Gerst., and Pli. Currori, White. 



Callichroma sajyphira. 



Saturate can'ulea teuuiter velutina ; femoribus (basi et apice 

 exceptis) abdomineque rufis ; antennis, tibiis et tarsis nigris : 

 capite grosse punctato ; antennarum scapo grosse rugoso, sub- 

 puuctato : thorace omnino transversim ruguloso : elytris apice 

 attenufitis subacutis, supra confertissime et subtilissime pimc- 

 tulato-rugulosis : pectore viridi-cyaneo. Long. 17 lin. 9. 



IMexico. Keceived from ]\L Salle imder the inappropriate 

 name of C. siiiaragdinwn, Chevr., M.S. The colour makes no 

 approach to " emerald green."
