9 . Differs in having the abdomen evenly convex, hind 

 tibiae thinner and without the subapical fringe, and in the 

 tarsi.

 I. 3408. 



The prothoracic punctures are not reticulate in character 

 as on all the preceding species, although at the sides, owing 

 to being crowded together, there appears to be an approach 

 to same; towards the base there are feebly oblique impressions 

 (with the punctures rather more crowded than on the adjacent 

 surface) at the positions of those of the circular ones of 

 hiimpressa. No elytral interstice is conspicuously elevated 

 above its fellows on the disc, but the fourth (counting at the 

 middle) from the side is rather distinctly elevated, although 

 not visible from above. The female has the lateral margins 

 of prothorax and elytra bluish, and the basal margins of the 

 former greenish,' and some of the apical joints of antennae 

 are infuscated. 



Trypocolaspis multicarinata, n. sp. 



(S . Golden or golden-red, or brassy, occasionally with a 

 faint greenish gloss in places; under-surface black with a 

 brassy gloss in places, or entirely brassy ; appendages more or 

 less reddish. 



Head with crowded subreticulate punctures of moderate 

 size; with a feeble median line. Antennae with second joint 

 stouter and slightly shorter than third, the joints slightly 

 increasing in length to seventh, which is a trifle longer than 

 each of the three following ones, and a trifle shorter than the 

 eleventh. Prothorax with seven shallow depressions, causing 

 the surface to appear uneven ; with crowded punctures. Elytra 

 with crowded punctures of moderate and almost even size 

 throughout; with numerous acute carinae. Abdomen with a 

 small circular fovea in the middle of a shallow apical depres- 

 sion. Tibiae more conspicuously carinated than usual, the 

 four hind ones obtusely produced at outer apex ; basal joint 

 of four front tarsi not conspicuously inflated. Length, 3-4 mm. 



9 • Differs in being more brightly metallic, abdomen 

 nonfoveate, and legs somewhat thinner.

One of the finest species of the subfamily. Some of the 

 specimens have an appearance as of old gold; the femora are 

 occasionally infuscated ; the seventh and eighth joints of
