nearly straight at the base, thence rounded to the apex ; sr.rface 

 irregularly and rather -wadely covered with minute and larger 

 punctures, dark metallic-green. Scutellum of the same colour, 

 smooth, shining. Elytra \\'idened behind the middle, very regu- 

 larly punctate-striate, each elytron having ten rows of punctures, 

 of which the first is abbreviated, interstices impunctate, a common- 

 sntural stripe from base to apex, widened anteriorly and limited 

 by the third stria, and the lateral margin joined at the apex with 

 the sutural stripe, dark green, shining. Underside and inflexed 

 limb of the elytra greenish neneous ; claws dark f ulvoiis ; meso- 

 sternal process stout and slightly curved. 



Doryphora glabrata, n. sp. 



Ovate, convex, black, thorax glabrous ; elytra obsoletely 

 punctate-striate, a subsutui'al and submarginal vitta joined at 

 the apex, flavous. Length 4 lines. 



Head black, semiopaque, almost impunctate, antennae longer 

 than the thorax, black, the first two joints flavous beneath. 

 Thorax narrowed at the base, thence to the apex much Avidened 

 and rounded, narrowly margined latej'ally, surface convex, black, 

 entirely imjounctate. Scutellum black. Elytra slightly nar- 

 rower at the base than the thorax, Avideued towards the middle, 

 very obsoletely punctate, the punctures near the suture arranged • 

 in rows and widely apart, black, opaque, a narrow stripe near 

 the suture from base to apex joined to another submarginal 

 stripe, dark flavous; margin and entire underside black; meso- 

 sternal process short and stout. 



The almost entire absence of aiiy punctuation (no punctures 

 being visible even under a stron'g lens), and the small size will 

 distinguish this species from others similarly coloured. 



Doriipliora eucludca, Stal. 

 One specimen of a uniform metallic-green agrees in general 

 form with the above species, l)ut the elytra are more minutely 

 punctate, and the intervals are thoughout aciculate or scratched ; 

 it may possibly prove to be a different species. 



Dort/pliora amabilis, Baly. 



The single specimen before rtie agrees in every respect with 

 the descriptions given by Baly and Stal, but differs in the under- 

 side being marked witli fuscoiis, which colour prevnils along the
