:small impunctate spaces, looking like highly-polished tubercles, 

 somewhat similar but less conspicuous spaces are to be seen on 

 many other species of the genus. The four hind femora are 

 narrowly" ridged along the middle, but each ridge does not 

 •culminate in a tooth. 



EUUSA IMPRESSICEPS, n. sp. 



(S . Golden-red, or coj)pery-red, the punctures sometimes 

 with a greenish gloss ; under-surf ace black, with a purplish or 

 bronzy gloss, labrum, palpi (apical joint excepted), basal half 

 (or less) of antennae and legs (claws excepted) more or less 

 reddish. Moderately clothed with very fine, uniformly distri- 

 TDuted, silken pubescence. 



If ('(id feebly shagreened : with dense, clearly-defined, and 

 uniform, but rather small punctures ; median line conspicuous 

 throughout and becoming rather deep in front. Frniliorax 

 with front angles somewhat acute ; punctures much as on 

 -clypeus. Elj/tra suboblong; with dense and rather large punc- 

 tures, larger and irregularly confluent about basal third, and 

 fsmaller iDut inconspicuous striae on apical slope. Ahdoinen 

 glabrous along micldie, apical segment with a wide shallow 

 impression. Front femora strongly dentate ; basal joint of 

 fom' front tarsi somewhat inflated. Length ( o' , 9 )> ^i"^ mm. 



9 . Differs in having shorter antennae, and in the 

 abdomen and tarsi.

The very tip of the clypeus and a median line on the head 

 are sometimes greenish : the suture is usually very narrowly 

 greenish, and one specimen has a green scutellum. On two 

 specimens the femora are almost entirely black, with a slight 

 TQetallic gloss. Although on the larger scale in the genus 

 the elytral clothing is nowhere squamose or fasciculate in 

 character. The elytral punctures^ are mostly in irregular rows, 

 of which, a few are subgeminate in arrangement. 



Two specimens from Guyra (H. J. Carter) perhaps repre- 

 sent a variety; they differ in being smaller (6 mm.), of a 

 purplish-red, elytra nowhere e,reenish, six apical joints of 

 antennae and part of the first dark, legs entirely black with a 

 slight metallic gloss, and the punctures on the head decidedly 

 smallei-. 



Edusa dtspat?, n. sp. 



cT . Brassy-green, sometimes with a bluish gloss ; under- 

 surface more or less brassy, clypeus of a vivid-green, labrum 

 and appendages (tip of antennae and claws excepted) more or 

 less reddish. Moderately clothed with fine, depressed, whitish 

 pubescence.
