broader in front, impunctate, as well as the scutellum. Elytra 
with five or six lines of shallow punctures (which are open 
posteriorly), the lines not reaching the apex; the sides of the 
elytra are posteriorly marked with transverse stria, as in 
P. emilia. The pygidium more closely striolate than in 
P. emilia, Anterior tibiz with three acute teeth at the apex, 
placed close together, parallel to one another, and at right 
angles to the tibia. Length 10 lines. 
This last character will at once distinguish it from its allies. 
Hab. Santa Anna, Solomon Islands (H. B. Guppy). 
Pecilopharis Curtisit, n. sp. 
Allied to the preceding; and, like it, of a uniform colour, 
except that there is a slight coppery tint in certain lights. 
The clypeus has a slight impression in the middle of the front 
margin, which is very slightly emarginate; the punctuation 
is closer and stronger than in P. emilia, and there is a mix- 
ture of extremely fine punctuation. ‘Thorax with some exces- 
sively fine punctures above, and a few larger ones at the sides. 
Elytra very smooth, much flattened at the apex, with no lines 
of punctures, but a few excessively fine punctures may be 
traced here and there ; the apical half of the lateral margin 
is transversely striolate. The pygidium is rather more 
strongly and decidedly more closely striolate than in P. emilia. 
The anterior tibie have three apical teeth, two approximate 
at the apex, the third slightly removed from the others. 
Length 10 lines. 
Hab. Batchian (C. Curtis). 
This species has the elytra less suddenly declivous at the 
apex than its allies. 
Buprestide. 
Chalcotenia leta, n. sp. 
Valde elongata, nitida, cyanea; thorace rugoso, pallide pollinogo ; 
elytris viridi-cyaneis, quadricostatis, interstitiis flavo-pollinosis. 
Long. 21 lin., lat. 73 lin. 
Allied to C. gigas, but a little broader, the thorax relatively 
broader posteriorly. Light sky-blue above, the raised parts 
on the thorax darker; the whole underside very dark blue, 
almost black in parts. ‘The thorax has numerous, irregular, 
raised smooth spots above, the intervals finely punctured. 
The coste of the elytra are as in C. gigas, but the third one 
is shorter. ‘The apex of each elytron has four or five acute 
teeth, but the sutural angle is scarcely more produced than 
the other teeth. ‘lhe underside is shining, with very numerous
