Heptodonta euaenia, Ckaudoir, Cat. Coll. I860, p. 56 ; Gestro, Ann. 

 Mus. Genova, 1889, p. 87. 



A very pretty, elongate, parallel-sided species, with the front 

 parts bright blue or greenish blue, and the elytra coppery with 

 strong greenish reflections ; sides of the whole body brilliant 

 cyaneous ; labrum elongate, produced, strongly toothed, dark ; 

 maxillary palpi with the base testaceous and the last two joints 

 dark, labial palpi testaceous with the apical joint dark ; head long, 

 excavate and striate between the prominent eyes, finely sculptured 

 behind ; pronotum longer than broad, with deep impressions in 

 front and behind, central portion subglobose, finely sculptured 

 transversely in the middle, somewhat rugosely at the sides ; 

 scutellum large, coloured as pronotum ; elytra long and narrow, 

 parallel-sided, subcylindrical, strongly impressed between shoulders 

 and suture and before apex, closely and distinctly punctured 

 throughout, the punctation being somewhat rugose in parts ; 

 femora and trochanters clear red, knees dark, tibiae partly red, 

 the remainder of the legs fuscous ; underside green and cyaneous, 

 smooth, glabrous and shining, episterna of metasternum feebly 

 sculptured. 



Length 11-12 millim.

Heptodonta arrowi, W. Horn, Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr. 1900, p. 362. 



Very closely allied to H. eugenia and chiefly distinguished by 

 the less globose pronotum, which is more evidently striated ; the 

 colour is more bronze and less green and the sculpture of the 

 elytra (which are a little flatter) is slightly finer and less rugose ; 

 the sides of the whole body are brilliantly metallic, the colour 

 being cyaneous at the margins and between these and the disc 

 green ; the underside is green, in part cyaneous ; the palpi, except 

 the apex, the trochanters, coxsd (for the most part), femora and 

 half the tibia? are red, the rest of the legs and the tarsi dark. 



Length 11-12 millim. 



Burma : North Chin Hills ; Tenasserim : Tavoy (Bingham). 



The labrum is less produced than in H. pulchella, the eyes are 

 more prominent, and the sculpture of the front parts is coarser, 

 and the elytra are a little more finely and thickly sculptured than 

 in that species, which is also much larger.
