Figuee 70. — Anterior tibia of male (A), clypeus (B), and last visible abdominal 

 sternite of male (O) and of female (D) of Chrysobothris woodgatei. 



Male. — Broadly elongate, moderately convex above, piceous and strongly 

 shining on the elevated spaces, brownish cupreous and subopaque in the de- 

 pressions ; beneath piceous, with a distinct cupreous tinge. 



Head bronzy green, with a broad, smooth, longitudinal carina on occiput, 

 and numerous large, irregular, smooth rugae on front ; front nearly flat, uneven ; 

 surface coarsely, confluently punctate between the rugose elevations, sparsely 

 clothed with long, erect, inconspicuous hairs; clypeus broadly, rather deeply, 

 arcuately emarginate in front, rounded on each side. Antenna bronzy, with a 

 distinct cupreous tinge, slightly narrowed to apex; intermediate segments 

 compact, wider than long, subtruncate at outer margins; third segment nearly 

 as long as following two segments united. 



Pronotum twice as wide as long, narrower at apex than at base, widest in 

 front of middle ; sides obliquely converging anteriorly, nearly parallel at middle, 

 arcuately converging posteriorly to posterior angles; anterior margin arcuately 

 emarginate, without a median lobe; base broadly, arcuately emarginate on 

 each side, median lobe strongly produced, and broadly rounded ; disk moderately 

 convex, uneven, with a broad, deep, median "sulcus extending from base to apex, 

 limited on each side by a broad, smooth, elevated space, and on each side midway 

 between this space and the lateral margin a strongly interrupted, irregular, 

 longitudinal, smooth space ; surface coarsely, confluently punctate between tha 

 smooth elevations, and sparsely clothed with long, recumbent, white hairs. 



Elytra distinctly wider than pronotum, one and three-fourths times as long 

 as wide, widest behind middle (slightly sinuate in front of middle), then arcu- 

 ately converging to tips, which are conjointly broadly rounded ; lateral margins 

 coarsely serrate from humeral angles to apices; basal depressions broad and 

 very deep; humeral depressions broad and shallow; disk moderately convex, 

 uneven ; surface glabrous, finely, confluently punctate in depressions. Each 

 elytron with four distinctly elevated, smooth costae ; first along sutural margin, 

 narrowly elevated posteriorly, and expanded into interrupted, smooth areas on 

 basal half ; second and third strongly interrupted, expanded into broad, smooth, 

 sinuate areas ; fourth narrow, slightly elevated, and parallel with lateral margin. 



Abdomen beneath coarsely, densely fossulate-punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 long, recumbent, white hairs, the intervals obsoletely granulose; sternites with
