Mr. J. S. Baly on the Phytophaga. 289 



tibiis posterioribus quatuor extus ante apicem emarginatis ; ungniculis 

 basi dentatis. Prostemum latum, lateribus medio paullo productis; 

 antepectoris proceasu antero-laterali anguste cuneiformi, angulo ex- 

 teriore extus non producto. 

 Type, Chrysopida Adonis, Baly. 



The elongate exsertcd head, the wedge-shaped antero-lateral pro- 

 cess of the prostemum, the different form of the thorax, the longer 

 legs, incrassate thighs, and the claws toothed at the base, separate 

 this remarkable genus from Rhyparida. 



Chrysopida Adonis.

 elytris pedibusque runs, illis fortiter punctato-striatis, striis postice 

 sulcatis, callo humerali, maculis parvis nonnullis baseos et singulatim 

 annulo apicali viridi-eeneis his femoribus basi, genibus tarsisque vio- 

 laceo-nigris. — Long. 4^ lin.

Subelongate, very convex. Head deeply punctured ; face elongate ; 

 clypeus subtrigonate, its apical border trisinuate ; face bilobed between 

 the eyes ; antennae fusco-seneous, clothed with adpressed fusco-fulvous 

 pubescence, four basal joints rufous, nearly glabrous. Thorax oval, trun- 

 cate at base and apex, slightly longer than broad, sides rounded, all 

 the angles armed with a short obtuse tooth; above convex, sub- 

 remotely punctured. Scutellum semiovate. Elytra much broader 

 than the thorax, truncate at the base, thence gradually narrowed to 

 the apex, the latter subacutely rounded, above convex ; each elytron at 

 its extreme base with thirteen, its disk with ten rows of large, deeply 

 impressed punctures, the stria? deeply sulcate, their interspaces (the 

 extreme base excepted) subcostate ; humeral callus prominent, some- 

 times rufo-piceous, at others metallic green, basilar space bounded be- 

 neath by a short shallow transverse fossa ; a small annulus at the apex 

 (sometimes obsolete), and some indistinct markings at the base of each 

 elytron, bright metallic green. Pleura covered with a patch of white 

 silky adpressed hairs. Thighs narrowly ampullate, slender at their 

 base, armed beneath just beyond the middle with an acute tooth.
