PHYTOPHAtìA FROM NIA8 AND SUMATRA 281 



13. I*yi'oj>icla smnptuosa, Baly, var. 

 {Plate IV, fig. 3). 



A single specimen from the Island of Nias , Hili Zabobo , 

 April 1866. 



This specimen differs greatly in colour fi'om the typical form ; 

 instead of the bright cupreous colour , changing to violet in 

 certain lights, the Nias example is entirely bright metallic green 

 with only a slight cupreous tint at the sides ; but with the 

 exception of rather more finely punctured elytra, I am not able 

 to find any other differences.

 (Plate IV, fig. 5). 



Isl. of Nias, Lelemboli, May 1886. 



A single specimen , representing the variety in which the 

 anterior disc of the elytra is rufous only, the sides and apex 

 being black, this colour occupying the posterior third portion of 

 the elj^tra and extending laterally to the base.
