margins of the segments ; last segment smooth and impunc- 

 tate, except on the margins. Mesosternum produced into a 

 strong recumbent spike, recurved at the apex ; sides of breast 

 obliquely strigose ; middle, impunctate behind, but punctate in 

 front; the punctures (from most of which a hair proceeds) 

 extending up the mesosternal projection to nearly the point 

 where the punctuation is abruptly terminated by a fine rounded 

 line ; a black suture runs down the middle of the mesoster- 

 num, with a branch projecting from each side, near the middle 

 like an arrow-head. One of the anterior claws of the only 

 specimen I have received is bifid, while the middle and pos- 

 terior tarsi have both claws simple, thus showing that my 

 specimen is a male. 



It is possible that the testaceous tinge seen shining through 

 the green in this species, and forming stripes on the elytra, 

 from which I have given it its name, may appear more or less 

 distinct, according to the maturity of the insect. Having 

 received only one specimen, I cannot say as to this ; but my 

 specimen seems in all respects fully matured. 



2. Ch. Euchloroides, Murr. 



Staturai fere Euchlorce grandis, et colore, et facie superna, 

 simillima. Polita, nitida, viridis, punctata, punctis majori- 

 bus et minoribus intermixtis ; scutello grandi • mesosterno 

 fortiter projiciente. Long 13 lin., lat. 8 lin. 



Nearly of the form of, and exceedingly resembling, Euchlora 

 grandis, in colour and facies. Green, shining, and polished. 

 Head finely and densely punctate, particularly in front. 

 Thorax densely and finely punctate ; the interstices between 

 the punctures filled with a still finer punctuation, and both 

 crowded together into a kind of granulation on the sides of 

 the thorax. There is a marginal line and raised margin 

 along the sides, which disappears after turning the anterior 

 angles, and scarcely turns the posterior. The raised margin 

 is more or less testaceous, sometimes quite yellow, and some- 

 times green, with a yellow tinge shining through. Scutellum 

 large, longer than broad ; the apex and adjacent margins 

 black; very faintly punctate. Elytra green, with renexed 

 margin, which is more or less yellow, or green, tinged with
