In my collection. 
Curiripea, Baly. 
8. CHEIRIDEA SUBRUGOSA, sp. Nov. 
Oblong, convex, metallic green, pubescent. Legs cupreous. Tho- 
rax deeply punctate, its sides serrate. Elytra punctate-striate and 
transversely rugose, subpubescent, metallic green, with a broad 
transverse black band at the middle. 
Length 4 lines. 
Hat. Cameroons. 
Head rugose punctate, thinly covered with long white hairs. 
Labrum and jaws, as well as the palpi, black. Antenne nearly 
half the length of the body, the joints robust and (with the exception 
of the first three joints) elongate, black. Thorax subquadrate, its 
sides slightly rounded and serrate, all the angles acute ; surface deeply 
aud rather closely punctured, the interstices laterally transversely 
wrinkled ; metallic green, covered with thin white hairs at the sides. 
Scutellum pentagonal, thickly covered with white pubescence. Elytra 
wider than the thorax, convex at the middle and acutely pointed at 
the apex, irregularly transversely rugose and deeply punctured, the 
interstices subcostate at the disk, metallic green, this colour divided at 
the middle of each elytron by a broad transverse black band which 
does not quite reach the suture, this band is limited anteriorly and 
posteriorly by thick white pubescence, which is also prominent towards 
the apex in the shape of longitudinal striz, principally near the 
sutural margin. Underside obscure metallic green, closely pubescent. 
Legs cupreous, femora without tooth. Claws appendiculate. 
Jn my collection. 
This handsome species bears a close resemblance to Pseudocolaspis 
timialithus, Thoms., in regard to shape and colour, and might be easily 
mistaken for that species if the generic characters were not totally 
different. ‘The serrate sides of the thorax, filiform antennee, and the 
appendiculate claw show it, however, to belong to Baly’s genus 
Cheiridia, described in the Journ.Linn. Soe., Zool, vol. xiv, p. 253,
