Broad, obovate, convex, attenuated posteriorly, deep black-blue, shining: head 

 rather greenish on the crown, with a semicircular impression on the front: 

 thorax rather thickly punctured on the margins and sparingly so on the disc : 

 elytra broad, slightly depressed, delicately and regularly punctate- striate, the 

 interstices obsoletely punctured : legs black : posterior fewiora blue and very 

 shining : antennae rufous at the base, the apex fuscous. 



I possess a single specimen of this insect, which was captured 

 near London.

 tibiisque fuscis, thoraee sparse punctato, elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis

 elytra punctate-striate, with the interstices punctured: base o/* the antennw

 to be rare.

 viridi-ceneis, antennarum basi pedibusque fulvo-testaceis, thoraee punctulato,

Obovate, convex, attenuated posteriorly ; above greenish-brass ; beneath brass-

 i&te-striate , the interstices distinctly though finely punctured : four anterior 

 legs and hinder tibiae and tarsi pale testaceous, posterior femora large, stout,

Also apparently rare ; and as one or other of the following 

 species have been usually confounded with the present, the sub- 

 joined localities may be incorrect. " Between Sketty and the Mum- 

 bles, not uncommon." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. " Weston." — Rev. 

 A. H.Matthews. " New Walk, York." — W. C. Hewitson, Esq. 



Sp. 4. Napi. Ovata, posteriiis minus attenuata, supra femoribusque posticis 

 nigro-cceruleis, antennis inferne pedibusque testaceis, elytris striato-punctatis,
