Head with some punctures round the eyes, the clypeusthickened, 

 perpendicularly deflexed, antennse scarcely extending to the 

 middle of the elytra, the lower joints fulvous, the terminal four 

 joints black, widened, but longer than broad; thorax twice as 

 broad as long, the sides straight, slightly narrowed anteriorly, the 

 anterior angles thickened, produced into a little point, the dise 

 with a few scarcely perceptible punctures, the sides flattened, 

 scutellum small, triangular; elytra very closely and finely punctured, 

 with the basai portion slightly raised, their epipleurse very broad 

 and concave; below fulvous, the tibise and tarsi more or less 

 blackish, the first joint of the posterior tarsi slightly longer than 

 the second one, claws strongly inflated ; posterior tibise without 

 emargination near the apex, prosternum narrowly elongate.

P. Klugi may be at once separated by the straight not rounded 

 sides of the thorax and the colour of the antennse from any of its 

 allies from Madagascar placed in Oedionychis. 



EUTORNUS MADAGASGARIENSIS n.- sp. 



Piceous, antennse fulvous, the seventh, eighth and ninth joint 

 black, head and thorax impunctate, elytra bright metallic green, 

 transversely depressed below the base with some short rows of punc- 

 tures at the latter portion, rest of the surface obsoletely punctured. 



Length 5 mill. 



Head rugosely punctured round the eyes, the rest of the surface 

 impunctate, piceous, the labrum and palpi obscure fulvous, antennse

 black; thorax more than twice as broad as long, slightly narrowed 

 anteriorly, the sides straight, rather broadly flattened, the anterior 

 angles thickened, the surface impunctate, piceous, with some obso- 

 lète dépressions near the basai margin, scutellum triangular, 

 piceous, elytra with a distinct transverse dépression below the base, 

 bright metallic green, the dépression bounded by two short rows of 

 punctures more or less distinct, the rest of the surface very finely 

 and sparingly punctured, below and the legs piceous, the posterior

I am almost certain that Clark made a mistake when he described 

 the posterior tibise in this genus as unarmed; the only typical spé- 

 cimen {E. africanus Cl.) is contained in the Baly collection now in 

 the British Muséum, this spécimen is glued to a card in such a way
