separated from the face, rather more strongly punctate, its anterior 

 margin but slightly concave ; labrum fulvous ; eyes distinctly 

 notched, surrounded by a very narrow sulcus ; antennae extending 

 to about the middle of the elytra, slender, the lower five joints 

 flavous, the rest black, second joint thickened, scarcely shorter than 

 the third, the following three joints elongate, terminal joints 

 slightly widened ; tliorax subcylindrical, transverse, of equal width, 

 the sides straight, the angles distinct, the surface convex, dark 

 greenish, rather strongly and closely punctured, posterior margin 

 broadly rounded at the middle ; scutellum impunctate ; elytra 

 slightly wider at the base than the thorax, the shoulders pro- 

 minent, the disc cylindrical, moderately strongly punctate-striate, 

 the punctures much finer at the apex, the interstices flat and 

 impunctate, lateral margin perpendicularly detlexed, the colour 

 dark greenish or bluish, metallic : underside blackish ; femora 

 unarmed, dark greenish, their extreme base and apex below- 

 fulvous; tibiae fulvous or flavous as well as the tarsi; prosternum 

 broad, subquadrately transverse, its surface uneven, depressed 

 posteriorly ; the anterior margin of the thoracic episteruum 

 strongly convex.

This little species might possibly equally well be placed in 

 Ivongius on account of the unarmed femora, but the scarcely or 

 not separated clypeus and other particulars seem better suited to 

 the present genus ; anyhow the species may be known by the 

 fulvous apex of the femora and the similarly coloured tibiae and 

 tarsi in connection with the dark greenish colour above.

Pale fulvous ; thorax strongly punctured, with a transverse 

 V-shaped greenish band and two spots ; elytra strougly punctate- 

 striate, with nine or ten greenish spots, partly placed in transverse 

 rows. 



Length l§-2 lines. 



Of subquadrate-ovate shape ; the head strongly punctured, 

 flavous, with a narrow piceous central stripe (sometimes absent) : 

 clypeus separated from the face by a transverse shallow groove, 

 rather closely punctured ; labrum fulvous ; mandibles black ; 

 antennae flavous, not extending to the middle of the elytra, the 

 second joint nearly as long as the third and thickened, terminal 

 joints rather robust and strongly dilated ; thorax transverse, the 

 sides rounded in front, but scarcely narrowed, with a narrow 

 margin, posterior margin broadly produced at the middle, the 

 surface very deeply but rather remotely punctured, the punctures 

 much finer near the anterior margin, the disc with a narrow 

 greenish transverse band, which at the middle assumes the shape 

 of a V, the point of which extends nearly to the base, at each side 

 there is also a more or less distinct greenish spot placed below the
