Two specimens, I think both sexes, sent by that inde- 

 fatigable enthusiast, Mr. C. French, are so different in cloth- 

 ing and sculpture from all Chalcopteri as to require a separate 

 genus. The sculpture may be described as seriate-punctate, 

 but in the place of defined single rows of punctures, there are 

 irregular rows, sometimes three, sometimes four or more 

 confused, but forming series of depressions, so that the inter- 

 vals are distinctly convex. These punctures are generally 

 large — much larger than in G. affinis, Bless. — but become 

 finer at the sides, the apparently smooth intervals, under a 

 strong lens, are seen to be very densely punctate also. Types 

 in the author's collection.
