54 M. L. Peringuey^s Descriptive Catalogue [Nov. 30, 



abdomen violaceous-blue ; basal joints of the palpi, outer sides of man- 

 dibles, and the labrum yellowish-white, this last part sHghtly tri- 

 dentate at the apex, and with three setigerous punctures on each side, 

 mandibles short, antennae with the basal joints metallic, the others 

 faintly rufescent ; prothorax short with the outer sides setulose ; elytra 

 elongated, very slightly ampliated behind, dark, greenish-bronze, 

 faintly, although closely, punctured, and having on each side a very 

 broad, pale-yellow marginal band emitting a short, although acute, 

 inward tooth in the anterior part, another one in the middle, longer 

 than the first, and produced at the tip in a slanting narrower ramus, 

 directed backwards, and a very obtuse one above the apical part, where 

 the rounding of the elytra begins. 



Although I considered at one time G, longula to be a variety only 

 of G. margimlla, I think it may be considered, provisionally, as a good 

 species ; it differs from the type-forms and varieties, not only in having 

 six setigerous punctures in the labrum, thus causing it to approximate 

 to G. pudibunda, but the elytra are more elongated, and the marginal 

 band is considerably wider, invading nearly the half of the discoidal 



part. 



Length, 12 ; width, b"^-"" 



This species is one of the rarest in Collections ; I only know of 

 three examples, two of which were collected in the Western part of the 

 Cape Colony, and another, without record of the locality, in 

 Chaudoir's collection under the name which, previous to seeing it, I 

 had already selected. 



Cape Colony (Fraserburg, Olanwilliam). 



Sub-Gen. EUEYODA.
