long respectively, and of the same very dark colour as those from- 

 the Karen Hills. In spite of the differences in size and intensity 

 of colouring, the specimens exhibit no structural divergences- 

 whicb cannot be considered as within the range of individual 

 variation.

Elytra metallic-green; head, antennas, prothorax, scutelluin, 

 legs, and underside red-brown ; lateral margins of prothorax 

 darker. 



Head convex, with vertex punctate, the punctures being finer 

 and sparser towards the bases of the antennas; lateral furrows 

 bounded by an acute ridge, clypeus broad. Antennas short, 

 extending a little beyond the base of the pronotimi, covered 

 (except the two basal segments) with fine hair ; first segment 

 long and club-shaped, second equal to, but thicker than, third, 

 fourth as long as third and thicker at its apex than at its base ; 

 from the fifth to the eleventh the segments are thicker and about 

 equal. Prothorax broader than long, narrowed in front, basal 

 margin sinuate, sides feebly rounded, their edges sharp, anterior 

 angles prominent, surface uniformly convex and closely punctate.. 

 Scutellum small, triangular, impunctate. Elytra convex ; surface 

 punctate-striate, the strias closely placed and, in some aspects, 

 presenting an appearance of being paired ; interstices closely 

 covered with minute punctures ; humeri raised, and bearing only 

 the minute, not the larger, punctures ; between the suture and 

 the first regular row of punctures is a broad space, narrowing 

 towards the apex, containing traces of a scutellar row and or 

 other rows ; thus this space presents an appearance of a mixture 

 of larger and finer punctures, at least in the example marked 

 "type " in the British Museum ; along the lateral margin of either 

 elytron is a longitudinal convex strip, devoid of the larger 

 punctures. Underside finely punctate and sparingly pubescent - r 

 elytra] epipleura transversely wrinkled.

There is an example marked " type" in the British Museum, 

 and probably another similarly marked in the Genoa Museum.

Small, ovate, not so convex as some of the other species.. 

 Metallic blue-green above ; underside black ; the four basal 

 segments of the antennas, labrum, tarsi, and generally the points- 

 of articulation of the pa>-ts of the legs, pitch-brown.
