.and anterior sides of femora more or less testaceous; female 

 darker. Head wide (4 # 3 mm. across eyes), not differing from D. 

 gruti Pascoe. Prothorax broader than long (2*7 x 3'1 mm.), not 

 presenting any noticeable differences from D. gruti. Elytra twice 

 =as long as wide (47 x 9-2 mm.); sculpture not differing from D. 

 gruti. Length 17-20, breadth 4 - 7-(r0mm. 



Hob. — Q.: Coen (Hacker). 



D. hackeri, the largest species of the genus, closely resembles 

 B. gruti Pascoe in all particulars of form and sculpture, but 

 differs conspicuously by the pattern of the elytra. In D. gruti 

 there is no apical white mark, and the central fascia, though 

 -sometimes broken into two spots (vide PI. xxix., tig. 66), has in that 

 case these two spots almost equidistant from the base and apex; 

 but in D. hackeri the two spots are not only more distant from 

 one another, but the inner is situated behind the level of the 

 posterior margin of the outer one. D. hackeri shows a resem- 

 blance to D. undulata by the white apical marks of the elytra, 

 but differs by having the interocular depression much deeper, 

 the sculpture of the elytra less coarse, particularly the punctura- 

 tion near the sides behind the shoulders, and the elytra without 

 a .zigzag median fascia. Mr. Hacker presented me with three 

 specimens. 



ClCINDELA DODDI SI., var. SEMIVIRIDIS. 



£.. Upper surface of head and prothorax bright green; elytra 

 bronzy-black with three whitish lateral marks on each, the dark 

 part shagreened and closely beset with very shallow rounded 

 depressions of a bluish tint, a row of nine subfoveolate cyaneous 

 punctures near suture, and a row of about five similar punctures 

 extending backwards from humeral depression; labrum white with 

 extreme edge infuscate; under surface metallic-blue. Prosternal 

 episterna with a few white setse near coxae, mesosternum on each 

 side, metasternum on each side and on episterna near posterior 

 margin, and posterior coxse albo-pubescent. Head much wider 

 than prothorax (2*1 mm. across eyes), rugulose, deeply channelled 

 between eyes. Labrum with teeth and setse as in C. doddi.
