66 Mr. J. O. Westwood's Descriptions of Species 



tellum and elytra are of an uniform fulvous colour, with the sides 

 of the pronotum marked with a white streak for about half their 

 length from the anterior angles. The body beneath is of an olive 

 black colour, the thoracic portion with large pale buff spots, and 

 each of the four basal segments of the abdomen with a broad, 

 bufF, transverse, velvet-like bar on each side, leaving the middle 

 naked and polished ; they are not channelled down the middle, the 

 specimen being a female. The legs are black ; the femora with a 

 broad buff longitudinal stripe. The anterior tibiae are tridendate, 

 and the four posterior ones have a short spine in the middle on 

 the outside. The mesosternum is long, narrow and pointed, the 

 tip being slightly deflexed and extending as far as the front of 

 the anterior coxae (figs. 6c, 6d). 



There are specimens of the male of this species in the British 

 Museum Collection, also presented by Mr. Turner, which agree 

 with the female in the structure and toothing of the tibiae (except 

 that the intermediate ones are slightly curved) and in the cornuted 

 structure of the head. The centre of the ventral surface of the 

 abdomen is, however, longitudinally impressed throughout its 

 whole length with a row of pale buff spots down the middle, and 

 the face is more strongly marked with larger buff spots, leaving in 

 fact only a slender black trident on the forehead.

The great general similarity between the green species of this 

 genus renders it advisable that figures should be given of each, 

 thus insuring their identification more completely than can be 

 effected by short descriptions. The unique specimen of this spe- 

 cies described by Dr. Schaum is in Captain Parry's Collection. 

 It is a male, and is represented in the accompanying figure 

 (PI. VII. fig. 1 ) of the natural size. It is of a golden green colour, 

 with the scutellum and suture of a richer golden colour. The 

 front of the clypeus is black; the first joint of the antennae green, 

 the remainder pitchy red ; the tarsi are black. Beneath, the body 

 is green, the middle being tinged with golden colour ; the sides of 

 the metasternum closely but finely punctured ; the abdomen with 

 a slight oblong-oval impression, extending along the middle of 

 the second and third, as well as the extremity of the first and 

 base of the fourth, ventral segments, all of which are also marked 

 with a row of punctures across the middle. The clypeus is 

 nearly quadrate in front, with the sides slightly angulated. The 

 maxillae have a short spine at the extremity of the inner lobe, and
