This species belongs to a new genus ; but I prefer at present 

 referring it to the old genu^s, as I have not data from which to de- 

 scribe it.

 Hab. ? 



. A species, rather hairy, which may be known from all the others 

 by its slightly metallic bronzy-green hue tinged with purple. 



Stigmodera, Solier. 



Among the Australian Buprestidce, and evidently belonging to 

 the genus Stigmodera, we have in the Museum, through the great 

 liberality of Mr. Bakewell, a species of interesting form, which 

 at first sight resembles a Sternocera in form, or an lulodis ; unfor- 

 tunately I cannot test the character of the diffuse antennal pores, 

 or of these same pores being concentrated into one mass in a fossette 

 of each joint, — characters, very slight, by which Lacordaire divides 

 important groups. The species ought to belong to his third tribe, 

 being somewhat like the Stigmodera goryi, but much longer and 

 cylindrical.

S. subcylindrica, lulodiformis, sen Sternoceree speciei, primo visu, 

 subsimilis ; elytris elongatis simplicibus, luteis, piinctato-

 micante, rude et creberrime punctato ; corpore subtus cceruleo 

 viridi fasciato ; pedibus cceruleo-viridibus.
