 Coerulea, ore piceo, pedibus ochreis, femoribjis posticis wneo-nigrix, macula 

 interne verms basin, antennarumgue basiferrugineis, elytris punctato-striatis, 

 interstHiis minutim punctulatis' (Long. corp. 1| — 2 lin.) 



Blue or greenish ; mouth and antennae pitchy, the three basal joints of the 

 latter ferruginous; head and thorax minutely punctured^ the latter with 

 some larger punctures ; elytra punctate-striate, the interstices minutely 

 punctured ; legs bright deep ochreous ; hinder femora brassy-black, with 

 the tip, and a large round spot on the base within ferruginous ; the other 

 femora more or less brassy-black on the base. 



Found near Whittlesea Mere and in the Isle of Wight : probably a variety of 

 one of the other species. 



B. Elytra punctured, not striated.

Steph. Nomen. 2d edit. col. 74. — Curtis, fol. 486 ! — Ovalis, virescens, anten- 



narum basi, tibiis tarsisque rufis, elytris postice attenuatis rotundatis abdomine 



brevioribus. (Long. corp. If lin.) 

 Oval, greenish ; antennae at the base, the tibise, and tarsi red ; elytra attenuated 



behind and rounded, shorter than the abdomen ; the disc irregularly 



punctured. 

 Taken near Bristol.— Omitted by accident in its proper place. 

 The generic name, by a typographical error, was spelt Macronema in my 



Catalogue, and Mac. Echii was called Erica in the second edition of my 



Nomenclature, as above quoted, both of which errors Mr. Curtis adopted, 



although he does not refer to either of the works.

Antennae moderate, 11 -jointed, slightly clavate ; basal joint longest, robust, 

 oval, second shorter and more slender, four next of equal length, but more 

 slender and less ovate, the remainder incrassated and slightly pubescent, the 

 terminal joint being elongate and conical; head small, trigonate ; eyes 

 remote, prominent ; thorax rather long, convex, rounded before and pro- 

 jecting over the head, the base bisinuated ; towards the hinder angles are 

 two bent impressed lines, nearly as in Mantura; body very convex, sub- 

 cylindric, apex obtuse ; legs short ; femora thickened, hinder pair stoutest, 

 their tibice slightly curved and a little ciliated without, and armed with a 

 small spine; tarsi short, inserted at the apex of the tibia.

 femoribus atris, tibiis tarsis antennisque versus basin fulvescentibus. (Long. 



corp. 1 — li lin.) 

 Above deep blue or green, very glossy ; head, sides, and hinder portion of the 



thorax minutely punctured ; elytra deeply punctate-striate; legs fulvescent; 



femora black ; antennae the same, with the tip of the basal and the three 



following joints entirely fulvous. 

 Extremely variable in tint.
