Translations of Motschul sky's descriptions of three of his 

 species, ntgrica, puncticollis and gracilis (which were placed by

140. Chsetocnema pusaensis, sp. nov. 



Body ovate, narrowed behind but not so much in front. Colour 

 greenish-a?neous ; tibiae, tarsi and the basal lour or five segments 

 of the antennas, brownish ; the front and intermediate femora and 

 the rest of the antennal segments piceous or fuscous. 



Head broad, w ith the vertex closely punctate on a finely granu- 

 late surface ; interocular space just above the antennae with a 

 deeply-impivssed transverse line, meeting two oblique lines almost 

 touching the eyes at the vertex; eyes convex; clypeus more 

 coarsely punctate. Antenna? extending almost to the middle of 

 the elytra; first segment long and club-shaped, second shorter, 

 third to sixth almost equal, the rest somewhat thickened. Pro- 

 thorax broader than long, sides gently rounded, slightly margined ; 

 surface convex, uniformly covered with fine punctures which are 

 more or less of the same size. Scutellum triangular, small, broader 

 than long, impunctate. Elytra hardly broader at base than pro- 

 thorax, narrowed behind, punctate-striate, the striae being more
