Family BUPRESTID^. 



33. Chrysodema simplex, Waterh. : P.Z.S., 1881, p. 520. 



Mr. Andrews met with this species in abundance at Flying Fish 

 Cove in October. 



34. Chrysobothris andrewsi, Waterh., sp.n. (PI. X, Fig. 8.) 



Obscure brunneo-cuprea, parum nitida, creberrime sat fortiter 

 punctata ; elytris maculis sex marginibusque aureo-viridibus. 



Long. 10 mm. 



Head in front green, circularly impressed, closely and rather 

 coarsely punctured ; the forehead more finely and very closely 

 punctured. Thorax transverse, rather strongly punctured, the 

 punctures on the disk widely separated from each other, becoming 

 gradually closer together, till they are crowded at the sides, the 

 intervals on each side of the disk forming transverse shining rugae. 

 The sides are nearly parallel posteriorly, strongly sinuate in front 

 of the middle, so that there is a well-marked rectangular projection 

 before the anterior angle. Elytra gently convex, without costae, 

 brownish coppery, with a slight purple tint in some lights, rather 

 strongly, evenly, and very thickly punctured, the punctures green. 

 The base and margins are tinted with golden green ; and each 

 elytron has a transverse, oval, golden-green impression on the disk, 

 before the middle, and two contiguous impressions behind the 

 middle, the inner one oblique. The margins are denticulate from 

 behind the middle. The anterior femora are much thickened in 

 the middle, and furnished with a rather small acute tooth. The 

 under-side of the body is green, tinted with coppery, especially 

 on the abdomen, the terminal segment of which has a well-marked 

 median carina, and is deeply emarginate at the apex. 



This species is quite isolated. I know of no species at all 

 resembling it either in colour or markings. The thorax has not 

 the posterior angles turned in, as is generally the case, and the 

 angular projection at the sides is very marked. 



Family EIJCNEMID^. 

 35. Fornax, sp. (?). 



A single example, apparently referable to this genus, taken at 

 Flying Fish Cove in October.
