Figtjke 11. — -Anterior tibia of male (A), clypeus (B), and last visible abdominal 

 sternite of male (C) and of female (D) of Chrysobothris fragariae. 



Male. — Broadly elongate, feebly depressed above, moderately shining, uni- 

 formly dark brown, with a more or less distinct bronzy-green or bronzy- 

 cupreous tinge in different lights ; beneath bronzy brown, and more strongly 

 shining than above. 



Head bronzy brown, with a vague, longitudinal carina on occiput; front 

 nearly flat ; surface densely, irregularly punctate, the punctures variable in 

 size and well separated, sparsely clothed with long, very fine, semierect, whitish 

 hairs, the intervals nearly smooth ; clypeus broadly, rather deeply, angularly 

 emarginate in front, broadly rounded on each side. Antenna uniformly bronzy 

 brown, gradually narrowed to apex; intermediate segments compact, wider 

 than long, broadly rounded at outer margins ; third segment slightly longer than 

 fourth. 



Pronotum three-fourths wider than long, subequal in width at base and apex, 

 widest at middle ; sides arcuately converging at apical angles, parallel at middle, 

 obliquely converging behind middle to posterior angles ; anterior margin strongly 

 sinuate, with a broadly rounded, median lobe; base broadly, arcuately emargi- 

 nate on each side, median lobe broadly rounded, and subtruncate in front of 

 scutellum ; disk moderately convex, without a median depression ; surface 

 rather densely, coarsely punctate, the punctures more or less confluent toward 

 sides, sparsely clothed with moderately long, erect, inconspicuous hairs, the 

 intervals finely, densely granulose.
