two specimens being alike, the upper side is frequently purplish 

 or the thorax only is of that colour , and the elytra green or 

 blue, some specimens are entirely of the latter colour; I believe 

 this species to be distinct from C. splende?is^ Baly the type of 

 which I have been able to compare, of several other species of 

 Chrysolampra only short diagnosis are given which are useless 

 for a certain determination ; the principal distinguishing character 

 of C. varivolor is the closely rugose and strongly punctured head, 

 the punctuation of the thorax is also much closer than in 

 C. splendens and the interstices are also everywhere minutely 

 punctate; the legs are always purplish or darl^ blue. 



35. dary-solampra nxiuixta., n. sp. 



Fulvous or piceous, above metallic green or blue, thorax finely 

 punctured, elytra not very closely and semiregularly punctate- 

 striate, the punctures at the sides very deep. 



c/*. Antennae as long as the body, the anterior femora dilated 

 into a triangular tooth. 



9 . Blue, the antennae shorter, elytra longitudinally tubercu- 

 late at the sides, the anterior femora but moderately dilated, 

 with a small tooth, underside and legs piceous. 



Length 1 ^4 line. 



c/". Oblong-ovate, convex, fulvous, head metallic green, spa- 

 ringly punctured, the clypeus more strongly and closely punc- 

 tured, labrum fulvous, the antennae extending to the apex of 

 the elytra , fulvous , the third and following joints elongate , 

 equal, the apical joints very slightly widened ; thorax transverse, 

 more than twice as broad as long , the sides rounded, very 

 slightly subangulate below the middle, the surface metallic 

 green , finely and not very closely punctured , the punctures 

 slightly larger at the sides; scutellum rather broad; elytra con- 

 vex, scarcely perceptibly depressed below the base, semiregularly 

 punctate-striate near the suture, the sides very deeply and more 

 irregularly punctured ; underside and legs fulvous , the first 

 joint of the anterior tarsi dilated, claw appendiculate, proster-
