two Tiew Species of Coleoptera. 341 



Evidently closely related to G. purpurea, White ; but, 

 apart from the great dissimilarity in colour, it differs in the 

 following respects ; the head is broader with the central 

 furrow deeper and the eyes larger and more prominent, the 

 thorax is much wider, especially behind, and the angle 

 formed by the posterior constriction is well defined and 

 prominent, and the elytra are not so closely punctured and 

 are conspicuously narrower towards the apex.
