distribution of colour. Tiie thorax is liright coppery, vHh more or lees 

 golden green on the tU»k, The elytra have the dorsal region very dark 

 eteel-blne (appearing almost bisick); this hlue colonr nmkiiifc an elongate 

 triangnlar patch (common to lx)th elytra), broadest at the base, and 

 narrowing poeferiorly f enninatcs at aliont one-third from the ay*x ; next 

 there is on each elytron a broad, oblique coppery red stripe (margined on 

 its inner side by golden green), commencing on the shoulder, exieiuling 

 to near the aj^es (where it touches the suture), hut then turijed suddenly 

 to the lateral margin of the elytron ; the side of the elytron (from below 

 the ahonlder to where it moots the turn of the coppery stripe) is dark 

 blue : the extreme apex is blue black. Length 17k lines,

The specimen hofore me agrees well with the degcription given (C. B. 

 Soc. Eat Belg. 1878, p. Hi) of this Rpecies from Sumatra. The allied 

 species has a wide range.

Elongate, parallel^ oonyex, shining : black, with the elytra and legs 

 obscure piteby, antennaa pa!cr. Head densely and finely granular; the 

 epistoma less opaque, closely and finely punctured. Thorax with the 

 basal half parallel, very convex; the front half ohUquely narrowed 

 anteriorly, sloping down, with six teeth on each margin, two anterior pair 

 slightly porrect, the space between them emai^dnatc. Tlie eurrace pos- 

 teriorly is marked with moderately large, deep punctureis, which are 

 irrogtilarly placed, the intervals irregularly and extremely finely and 

 rather sparingly pwnctareil ; all the front part is asperate. The j>obferior 

 angles very slightly conically produced and diverging. Elytra of the 

 same width as the thorax, scArcely broader posteriorly, very abniptly 

 deflexed at the apex; deeply and strongly punctured*, the pnnctures 

 rather close together, plac^Rd irregnlnrly near the suture, bnt having 

 towards the sides a tendency to form lines ; the interspaces smooth mm 

 shining, less tiian the diameter of the punctures (except here and there in 

 the longitudinal direction, when the intervals are efjual to the diameter 

 of the punctures) ; at rather remote intervals very mmuto puiiL'^tures may 

 be seen. At the upper part of the posterior declivity, on each i-lytron, 

 are two short, scarcely noticeable costie; the extreme apex is elightly 

 reflexed, dull. The firet joint of the club of the anteim® is a little longer 

 than broad, the second as long as broad, the third elongate-ovate. The 

 anterior angles of the metasternum, and the metaster^ epi pleura are 

 densely and very finely granular. The abdomen is closely and line punc- 

 tured, and very delicately pubescent. The tarsi are not very long as 

 compared with some of the sijecies of thiM genus. Length 5 lines.
