986 MR. M. JACOBY ON PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA. [Dt'C. 3, 



Collected by Mr. Salvin. Collection Jacoby. 

 Allied to N. propinqua, Lefevre, but differing in the stronger 

 punctuation of the thorax and the sculpture of the elytra. 



7. Noda viridis, sp. nov. 



Broadly ovate, shining metallic-green above, below greenish black, 

 the first six or seven joints of the antennae and the legs entirely fer- 

 ruginous. 



Length 1^-1 £ line. 



Head coarsely but widely punctate, the clypeus distinctly sepa- 

 rated, also strongly punctured, with the anterior margin emarginate ; 

 labium dark ferruginous or brown ; vertex of head with an obsolete 

 longitudinal groove. Antennas of half the length of the body, very 

 robust, with the exception of the short second joint, gradually 

 thickened towards the apex, the three penultimate joints of nearly 

 equal length and cylindrical, the terminal joint the longest of any, 

 and pointed at the apex ; the first six or seven joints ferruginous, 

 the rest black, opaque. Thorax transverse, the anterior margin 

 nearly straight, the posterior one evenly rounded and produced in 

 the middle, the sides nearly parallel at the base, but narrowed 

 towards the apex, all the angles acute ; surface shiuing metallic 

 green with a slight bluish tint, not very closely but rather deeply 

 punctate. Scutellum smooth. Elytra slightly wider at the base 

 than the thorax, very gradually and evenly rounded towards the apex ; 

 disk rather convex, without any basal depression ; the humeral callus 

 produced and smooth ; surface finely punctured a little more strongly 

 near the base, the punctures arranged in rather regular lines, partially 

 running in pairs, and forming one stria near the suture towards the 

 apex. Underside opaque blackish green. Legs and tarsi ferruginous. 



Had. Guatemala. 



Collected by Mr. O. Salvin. In my collection. 



8. Noda boucardi, sp. nov. 



Broadly ovate, above violaceous blue, shining, below greenish 

 black. Tibia?, tarsi, and base of the antennae rufous. Elytra 

 geminate-punctate-striate. 



Length 1| line. 



Head strongly punctured, especially towards the lower part, 

 shining greenish blue ; antenna? with the first six joints light rufous, 

 the rest darker. Thorax of the same shape as N. lefevrei of this 

 paper, also equally punctate throughout, the puncturing extending 

 at the same time to all the margins. Elytra not differing in form 

 from the above species, the punctuation on the disk, however, united 

 in pairs, and only the extreme apex distinctly costate. Underside 

 semiopaque, greenish black, all the tibia? and tarsi bright rufous. 



Hab. Valin, Guatemala. 



Collected by Mr. Salvin. 



Allied to Noda ruflpes, Lefev. (Mittheil. Munch. Ent. v. 1878), 

 but differing in the equal punctuation of the thorax, the double rows 

 of punctures of the elytra, and the costate apex of the latter.
