without punctures, and with but feeble remnants of striation. 

 Pifth segment of ahdomen with a rather large median fovea. 

 Front femora feebly dentate ; tibiae not longitudinally canali- 

 culate, the front pair inflated towards apex and subtriangularly 

 notched at outer apex, the others less dilated to apex ; basal 

 joint of front tarsi strongly inflated and elongate, of the 

 middle pair less strongly but still conspicuously inflated. 

 Length, 3^ mm. 



9 . Differs in being of a golden colour, with slight 

 greenish reflections in places, in the abdomen more strongly 

 and evenly convex, somewhat thinner tibiae, and in the tarsi.

The angulation of the front femora is very distinct, but 

 the tooth crowning the same is very feeble. There is a curious 

 black line on the under-surface of the middle tibiae of the 

 male, but owing to its position it is entirely concealed from 

 most directions. The basal joint of the front tarsi of the 

 male is unusually large ; on the female also the basal joint of 

 the four front ones is distinctly larger than is usual on females. 

 The basal segment of the abdomen of the male has some rather 

 ■conspicuous punctures on each side of the middle, the middle 

 itself being impunctate and slightly produced at the apex ; it 

 lias also some long hairs.

Cleptor goudiei, n. sp. 



9 . Coppery-green and finely shagreened ; abdomen 

 golden-red, labrum and appendages flavous, tip of antennae 

 infuscated. 



Head with fairly dense punctures of moderate size, median 

 line fairly distinct ; clypeus distinctly longer than usual, 

 separated from face by a shallow depression, finely strigose, 

 and without distinct punctures, strongly notched in front. 

 Eyes distinctly notched near antennae. Prothorax more than 

 thrice as wide as the median length, sides strongly diminishing 

 in width from base to apex, but rather feebly rounded ; with 

 minute punctures. Elytra not much longer than wide, with 

 numerous small punctures mostly in very feeble series, but 

 becoming larger (although not very large) behind the shoulders 

 and on part of the apical slope, the latter with remnants of 

 striation. Flanks of prostei-num with dense and irregular 

 striae, and some scattered punctures. Front femora lightly 

 dentate. Length, 4J-4J mm.

An unusually wide species, with all the body parts 

 shagreened ; it is one of the most beautiful of the subfamily.
