Figure 23. — Anterior tibia of male (A), clypeus (B), and last visible abdominai 

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



Male. — Moderately elongate, rather strongly convex above, rather strongly 

 shining, reddish brown ; elytra with the costae more or less greenish or bluish 

 black, and the foveae distinctly cupreous ; beneath purplish brown, with a faint 

 greenish reflection, and more strongly shining than above. 



Head reddish brown, more or less greenish on clypeus, with two small, vague, 

 smooth callosities on front, and a narrow longitudinal carina on occiput, the 

 carina slightly bifurcate on vertex ; front slightly convex ; surface rather densely, 

 coarsely, shallowly punctate, feebly, transversely rugose behind clypeus, sparsely 

 clothed with moderately long, recumbent, whitish hairs, intervals densely granu- 

 lose; clypeus deeply, arcuately emarginate in front, strongly rounded on each 

 side. Antenna uniformly cupreous, nearly equal in width to apex; intermediate 

 segments compact, slightly wider than long, broadly rounded at outer margins ; 

 third segment slightly shorter than the following two segments united.
