marked with rounded border ; stripe moderately deep and 

 finely punctate, striole long, intervals rather convex, surface 

 covered with moderate and fairly close punctures. Beneath 

 there are some coarse punctures on the stern^, a few 

 fine ones on venter at sides, prosternal process very clearly 

 bordered, metepisterna much longer than wide, sulcate along 

 outer margin, tarsi glabrous above. 



Closely allied to C. bioculaius, Chaud., but a much wider 

 insect, dark blue instead of cupreous, the elytral spot round 

 and placed further forward. Eyes less prominent, prothorax 

 much wider, with small punctures between the larger ones, 

 elytra wider, strise deeper and intervals more convex, surface 

 more coarsely and less closely punctate.

 Mr. D'Abreu has kindly allowed me to retain the type 

 (Nagpur) in my collection. 



Chlcenius ptuchodes, sp. n. 



Length 17*0 mm. ; width 6*75 mm. 



Black, underside slightly iridescent ; head and prothorax 

 metallic-green, latter blotched with purple on disk, and 

 bluish in marginal channels, elytra dark biue-black, faintly 

 green close to base ; joint 1 of antennse and legs testaceous, 

 rest of antennse, palpi, knees, and tarsi more or less brown. 



Head small, convex, minutely strigose-punctulate, nearly 

 smooth on vertex, labrum truncate, eyes moderately promi- 

 nent ; palpi slender, antennae long and slender, joint 3 much 

 longer than 4. Prothorax rather flat, quadrate, contracted 

 a little more in front than behind, nearly half as wide again 

 as head, and a fourth as wide again as long, sides of base a 

 little oblique, sides rather gently and evenly rounded, nearly 

 s'.raight behind, hind angles obtuse and moderately rounded ; 

 median line fine but clear, fovese almost linear^ not very 

 deep, diverging a little both before and behind, surface 

 minutely punctulate, and also moderately but sparsely punc- 

 tate, middle of base and apex finely strigose. Elytra 

 slightly convex, subovate, with nearly parallel sides, quite 

 half as wide again as prothorax, and two-thirds as long again 

 as wide, the border forming a distinct though obtuse angle 

 at shoulder ; striae fine, finely and very clearly punctate, 

 striole deep, intervals convex, appearing more shiny along- 

 middle than the general surface, a row of fine punctures 

 along the sides of each, 8-9 more closely punctate, 3 

 convex right up to basal border, surface both shagreened and 

 minutely punctulate, pubescence short and hardly notice- 

 able except along margins. Underside rather finely and
