paler ; remaining parts of mouth piceous ; palpi slender ; men- 

 turn with an elongate deep hollow on each side of the median 

 tooth, but scarcely forming a distinct pit. Thorax subquadrate, 

 narrowed both before and behind nearly equally, broadest about 

 the middle, broadly but not deeply emarginate at the base; 

 posterior angles rounded and obtuse ; dorsal line distinct, reach- 

 ing nearly to the front, but not to the base ; green with a bluish 

 tinge ; sides margined ; smooth, shining, and with a few rather 

 large punctures scattered sparingly and irregularly over the sur- 

 face ; a deep basal longitudinal impression on each side of the 

 dorsal line, extending obliquely outwards and backwards, from 

 the anterior end of which a fainter curved impression extends 

 obliquely outwards and forwards. Scutellum impunctate. Elytra 

 obovate, somewhat convex, except on the disk, which is slightly 

 depressed, black, deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrowest 

 towards the sides and apex, convex and impunctate ; apex slightly 

 emarginate; marginal space granulose towards the apex, with 

 variolose fovea? along the space. Under side black ; prosternum 

 deeply and coarsely punctate in the centre, its episterna smooth, 

 with one or two coarse punctures; mesosternum and its epi- 

 sterna thickly punctate, and the abdominal segments pretty 

 thickly punctate, most so on the sides. Legs obscurely rufescent. 



I have dedicated this species to my friend M. Leon Fairmaire, 

 President of the Entomological Society of France.

Capite viridi et thorace virescenti, nitidis; thorace obcordato, 

 sparsim punctato ; elytris elongatis, depressis, nigris, vix vires- 

 centibus ad basin, punctato-striatis, interstitiis convexis im-

Long. 12-13 lin., lat. 4J-5 lin. 



A large species, about the size and with the general form of 

 Epomis circumscriptus. 



Head metallic green, sparingly punctured behind, and with 

 two small longitudinal fovea? in front, about which are one or 

 two punctures; a few longitudinal wrinkles along the sides; 

 clypeus of the same colour as the head, with four small fovea?, 

 deepest anteriorly, two in front and one on each side ; antenna? 

 rufescent, first three joints shining, the rest pubescent; lab rum 

 rufescent, darkest in the middle, not emarginate; mandibles 

 piceous ; palpi rufescent, basal joints paler. Thorax obcordate, 

 narrowed behind, broadly emarginate at the base; posterior 

 angles rounded and obtuse ; dorsal line distinct, reaching to the 

 base, or nearly so, but not in front beyond the semicircular
