BY THOMAS G. SLOANE. 559' 



Prothorax a little broader than long (1-4 x 1-5 mm.), decidedly 

 rounded on sides and convex on disc between the shallow but 

 well marked frontal sulci. Length 7 - 7, breadth 2-4 mm. 



Hob. — Q. : Coen (Hacker). 



Differs from C. doddi (typical form) by head and prothorax 

 bright green, not bronzy; elytra with the three lateral whitish 

 marks larger, the intermediate mark particularly more con- 

 spicuous; head larger; prothorax in male more convex on disc 

 and more strongly rounded on sides (particularly the prosternal 

 episterna) between the transverse frontal sulci, these deeper. 

 Mr. Hacker obtained a considerable number of this form in one 

 locality which showed no differences amongst themselves; but I 

 have considered it as a variety of C. doddi. Two specimens (£) 

 were given to me by Mr. Hacker. 



ClCINDELA LEAI, var.(?) NIGELLA. 



Subcylindrical, elytra strongly and closely punctate, glabrous. 

 Upper surface black, with sometimes bronzy metallic tints, 

 brighter on head, obscure on pronotum, and still more obscure 

 and rarely seen on elytron; each elytron with two conspicuous 

 lateral white spots, the anterior just behind middle, the posterior 

 wide and extending from outer apical angle along margin nearly 

 to suture, labrum white with edge and a central basal area 

 infuscate, under surface cyaneous. Prosternal episterna (near 

 coxse), mesosternal episterna, metasternum (on sides), metasternal 

 episterna (generally) and posterior coxte (at outer sides) albo- 

 pubescent. 



Head glabrous (l - 9 mm. across eyes), channelled and striolate 

 between eyes, occiput rugulose. Labrum 7-dentate; seta? marginal. 

 Prothorax as long as broad (1 3x1-3 mm.), pronotum trans- 

 versely rugulose, anterior and posterior sulci well marked but 

 shallow, sides hardly at all rounded between them. Elytra much 

 wider than prothorax (4 x 2 - 2 mm.), very convex, parallel on sides, 

 puncturation close and coarse, finer towards apex than base, 

 apical margin serrate, a very small spine at apex of suture. 

 Length 6-0-7 - 75, breadth 1-8-2 2 mm.
