ME. E. SAUNDERS ON SOME 



Head and thorax reneous, the former very strongly punctured and narrow ly 

 channelled between the eyes ; the latter with hind angles green ; its 

 sides rounded, slightly narrower behind than in front ; surface very 

 deeply punctured and transversely rugose ; lateral carina on each side 

 curved, and forming the margin to an elongate lateral fovea, which 

 spreads out towards the base, but does not quite touch it ; above the 

 scutellum is an oval depression, and another very slight one near the 

 front margin on the dorsal line. Elytra finely rugose, green ; suture 

 bronzy, the colour spreading out towards the apex, which is rounded ; 

 suture raised on its posterior third. Beneath and legs bronzy, 

 punctured.

Agrilus marginicollis, E. S. iEneus. Capite inter oculos viridi. 

 Thorace dorso bifoveato, transverse rugoso, lateribus foveatis, inau- 

 ratis. Elytris rugosis ; sutura albo-pilosa. Subtus aeneus, albo- 

 pubescens. 



Head golden green, punctured. Thorax bronzy, with the anterior mar- 

 gin produced and rounded ; sides with their margins golden, slightly 

 and regularly rounded ; lateral carinae curved ; surface transversely 

 rugose; dorsal line with an oval impression just above the scutellum, 

 and another below the anterior margin, which are almost united in the 

 middle ; sides impressed in front above the lateral carinae. Elytra 

 bronzy, finely rugose, white-pubescent along the entire length of the 

 suture, the pubescence spreading at the base so as to reach above 

 the shoulders on either side, and interrupted about a third from the 

 apex. I doubt whether the latter character will prove constant ; but 

 it occurs in the four examples I have before me; apex rounded, finely 

 denticulate. Beneath and legs bronzy, covered with white hairs.
