5. Sagra brevipes, Jac. Ann. 3Ius, Civ. Genova, xxvii, 1889, p. 148. 
c? . Obscure dark purplish-blue, opaque. Head rugose near the 
eyes, labruin with long fulvous pubescence ; antennae long and 
slender. Thorax slightly longer than broad, anterior angles strongly 
thickened, formed into a round blunt tubercle, the disc entirely 
impunctate. Elytra without basal depression, a double row of 
punctures at base, the rest impunctate, finely wrinkled. Inter- 
mediate tibiee dilated at apex into a triangular tooth ; posterior 
femora glabrous, very short, scarcely extended beyond the apex of 
the elytra, tridentate at apex; posterior tibiae with a single 
mucronate tooth at apex ; abdomen : first segment glabrous. 
Length 16 mm.

This well-marked species is distinguished from all others 
belonging to the genus by its remarkably short posterior femora, 
by the dilated intermediate tibiae and by the glabrous first abdo- 
minal segment. 
6. Sagra jansoni, Baly, Trans. Ent. Soc. (2) v, 1860, p. 243. 
Elongate, parallel-sided ; rufo-aureous, metallic green, or blue ; 
antennae purple, their basal half metallic green. Head deeply punc- 
tured. Thorax slightly longer than broad, sides slightly concave, 
above profoundly but not closely punctured, transversely depressed 
in front of the basal margin. Elytra distinctly depressed 
below the base, their surface finely punctate-striate throughout, 
the interstices between the punctures finely vermiculate-reticulate. 
Body beneath more conspicuously metallic green. Anterior and 
intermediate femora moderately incrassate, tibiae strongly curved. — 
<5 . Intermediate femora produced beneath into a flattened acute 
tooth ; hinder femora extended beyond the apex of the elytra by 
a fourth of their length, elongate subovate, beneath notched at the 
apex and armed with tw 7 o short stout teeth, the anterior tooth the 
larger ; at the base there is a large patch of yellow pubescence on 
the inner side ; posterior tibiae mucronate at apex and armed just 
before the apex externally with a stout spine, internally with a 
very short tooth ; basal abdominal segment longitudinally excavate, 
coarsely punctured and covered with yellow pubescence. — $ . 
Posterior femora not extended beyond apex of elytra and armed
