Figure 15. — Clypeus {A) and last visible abdominal sternite of the female (B) 

 of Chrysobothris lineatipennis. 



Female. — Broadly elongate, strongly depressed above, rather strongly shining; 

 head and pronotum brillant reddish cupreous ; elytra bronzy brown, with a faint 

 reddish tinge ; beneath brownish cupreous, with a faint greenish reflection, and 

 more strongly shining than above. 



Head with a smooth longitudinal carina on occiput, a broad chevron on 

 vertex, and two small, smooth spots on front; front slightly convex; surface 

 coarsely, rather densely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, semierect, incon- 

 spicuous hairs, intervals finely granulose ; clypeus broadly, deeply, triangularly 

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

 gradually narrowed to apex; intermediate segments slightly wider than long, 

 broadly rounded at outer margins ; third segment slightly longer than fourth. 



Pronotum twice as wide as long, subequal in width at base and apex, widest 

 near apex, sides arcuately converging at apical angles, slightly converging from 

 near apical angles to behind middle, and more strongly constricted at base; 

 anterior margin slightly sinuate, with a vague, broadly rounded, median lobe ; 

 base broadly, arcuately emarginate on each side, the median lobe slightly pro- 

 duced and broadly rounded; disk moderately convex, without callosities or 

 median sulcus; surface coarsely, deeply, irregularly punctate, slightly rugose 

 toward sides, intervals granulose. 



Elytra distinctly wider than pronotum, twice as long as wide, widest behind 

 middle; sides slightly diverging from humeral angles to behind middle, then 

 arcuately converging to tips, which are separately broadly rounded ; lateral 

 margins coarsely serrate ; basal depressions broad and deep ; humeral depres- 

 sions shallow ; disk moderately convex ; surface coarsely, rather densely punctate, 

 clothed with a few inconspicuous hairs, intervals obsoletely granulose. Each 

 elytron with four strongly elevated, longitudinal costae ; first extending from 

 apex to basal fovea ; second extending from base and joined to third at apical 

 fourth ; third extending from humerus to near apex ; fourth not smooth, following 

 outline of lateral margin. 



Abdomen beneath sparsely, coarsely, irregularly punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 short, semierect, white hairs, with smooth lateral callosities, intervals finely, 

 densely granulose ; last visible sternite shallowly emarginate at apex, without a 

 submarginal ridge, lateral margins coarsely serrate; eighth tergite broadly
