276 Appendix to the Proceedings 



as this may be variable, I do not insist so much upon it. In 

 my specimens of T. Megerlei the sulcation is as follows : — the 

 first sulcus next the suture comes down to the apex alone ; the 

 second is joined before it reaches the apex by the fourth, and 

 encloses the third ; the fourth again joins the sixth, enclosing 

 the fifth ; and the seventh comes down alone. 



In the present species, on the other hand, the first, as in Me- 

 gerlei, comes down alone ; but the second, instead of joining the 

 fourth and enclosing the third, joins the sixth ; then within these 

 the third and fifth join, and enclose the fourth. Trifling varia- 

 tions in the decidedness with which these junctions take place 

 may however be seen on different elytra of the same insect. 



I have received two specimens of planifrons. On receiving 

 the first, I was disposed to look upon it as a variety or distortion 

 of Megerlei; but as I found the same characters occurring in 

 the second, this does not appear to be the case. These cha- 

 racters, more particularly the levelling of the head, which is very 

 marked in both of my specimens, enable us at once to distin- 

 guish them from Megerlei.

The colour above is a decided green, without the blue tinge of 

 emarginata, Fab. The labrum, mandibles, palpi and antennae are 

 rufous, the tips of the mandibles and the end of the first joint 

 of the antennae becoming fuscescent or blackish. There is no 

 blackish ring on the second and third joints, as in emarginata. 

 The under side is of the same colour as the upper, with the ex- 

 ception of the breast (mesothorax and metathorax), which is ru- 

 fous. The head is oblong-square, extending two-thirds of its 

 length before the eyes, which are not very prominent; it is 

 deeply and distinctly punctured, somewhat shining on the disk. 

 The thorax is very narrow, elongate, deeply and closely punc- 

 tured, and pubescent ; it is slightly narrowed in front, and a 

 little more so behind ; its greatest breadth is about the middle. 

 At first sight from above, it looks as if it were cylindrical, but 

 on being examined from the side, a narrow ridge is seen to run
