DERMORHYTIS.

of the thorax so closely placed and of such depth and regularity 
as iu B. rucjosa and B. ceylonensis, while the sides of the same parts 
are much straighter than in either of the above-named species. 
All the specimens I have seen seem to be females. 
659. Dermorhytis biangulata, sp. n. 
Metallic green or cupreous ; labrum, basal joints of antennae 
and base of the femora fulvous ; margins of elytra and scutellum 
purplish-blue or green ; tarsi black. 
d 1 . Head strongly and closely punctured ; clypeus separated 
from the face by a shallow transverse depression ; antennae black, 
second, third and fourth joints fulvous, terminal five joints 
widened. Thorax about half as broad again as long, sides nearly 
straight, middle with two closely approximate small teeth, disc 
closely and rather more strongly punctured than the head. 
Scutellum smooth. Elytra narrow and elongate, punctured like 
the thorax, the punctures arranged in close and irregular rows 
near the suture, irregularly scattered and larger at the sides, 
interstices at the sides transversely rugose. Legs finely pubescent, 
fulvous with metallic purplish gloss ; tarsi black. 
Length 5-5 i mm. 
Hah. Southern India: IN'ilgiris (Colls. H. E. Andreives and 
Jacoby). 
In this species, which may possibly be a local variety of 
B. sjgeciosa, the thorax has two small teeth at the middle of the 
lateral margins, in the last-named species this portion is only 
angulate and the general size is larger ; but these seem to be the 
only differences between the two insects. 
660. Dermorhytis rugosa, sp. n. 
Dark greenish-aeneous ; basal joints of antennae fulvous, margins 
of elytra more or less cupreous. 
c S • Elongate, narrowed at apex. Head closely and finely 
rugose and wrinkled, the rugosities directed towards the centre ; 
labrum fulvous ; antennae extending beyond the base of the elytra, 
basal five or six joints fulvous, rest black, first joint black above, 
third and following joints very slender. Thorax less than twice 
as broad as long, sides obsoletely angulated before the middle, 
straight from thence to base, disc strongly and closely punctured, 
interstices closely longitudinally reticulate. Scutellum small, 
cupreous. Elytra closely transversely rugose ; interstices punc- 
tured like the thorax : epipleural lobes rather strongly produced. 
Beneath finely pubescent. Legs robust, femora incrassate. 
5 . Much larger; thorax twice as broad as long; first joint of 
tarsi much smaller. 
Length 5|-7 mm. 
Hah. Ceylon (Coll. Jacoby).
