sculjDtured, apices simple and denticulate, c? ' Tibiae as in the 

 last species. 



Sab. Main island. Five examples at KasLiwagi, 



Ageiltjs alazo:s", sp. n. 



Capite thoraceque aureo-viridibus ; elytris cyaneis vel cyaneo-viridibus, 

 octo-albo-maculatis. L. 11-13| millira. 



The bead and thorax golden green ; head longitudinally strigose 

 on the summit, transversely rugose on the face, with two lobe- 

 shaped impressions ; the thorax more coarsely rugose than the 

 face and the rugosity more distinctly transverse, carina very short 

 and curved, sides feebly emarginate before the posterior angles ; 

 the scutellum, anterior part transverse and rounded off on either 

 side, inferior part triangular, each angle acute : the elytra cyaneous 

 and sometimes greenish, the sculpture is not so fine and close as 

 in A. cyaneoniger, Saund., especially near the suture in the dorsal 

 area ; there are four white spots on each elytron formed by a white 

 and dense pilosity — first spot in the basal depression, second over 

 the hind coxae, third at an equal distance behind, fourth just before 

 the apex and almost touching the suture ; apex clearly denticulate 

 and somewhat acutely produced. Beneath, the colour is wholly 

 coppery ; the marginal carina of the abdominal segment slightly 

 deviates from a straight course at the supposed suture ; the claws 

 obtusely bifid. 



Belongs apparently to the same group as A. higuttatus, E. 



Sah. Kiushiu. I have a long series of this species from 

 Tuyama in Higo.

Cupreus vel vividi-seneus ; thorace carinis bi-evissimis ; elytris 6-albo- 

 maculatis subtus seueus. L. 8-9 millim. 



The head, summit golden, male with acicular punctures, female 

 somewhat strigose, face green with a white pubescence, punctured 

 and transversely rugose ; the antennae long, with lax joints ; the 

 thorax transversely rugose, hind angles a little prominent, carina 

 very short, curved ; the elytra evenly sculptured, with three 

 spots of white or yellow pubescence, generally white, on each 

 elytron — first within the basal impression, next just behind the 

 posterior coxae, third midway between the second and the apex, 

 the apices are rounded ofi" obtusely. The under surface and legs 

 aeneous, abdominal suture ill-defined ; the tibiae and tarsi slender, 

 claws with inner process short. The outer edge of the hind
