759. Eubrachis indica, Baly, Journ. Linn. Soc. xiv, 1877, p. 249. 
Metallic green or aeneous ; base of the femora, the antennae 
and labrum rufous or piceous, terminal joints of the antennae 
black. 
d . Head coarsely punctured, vertex swollen, front with ill- 
defined longitudinal groove : anterior margin of clypeus deeply 
notched, the notch subangulate ; antennae extending to base of 
elytra, either entirely fulvous or with basal joints only of that 
colour. Thorax a little broader than long, strongly widened 
and swollen at the middle on the sides, transversely depressed 
and narrowed at apex and to a less extent at the base ; surface 
very closely and rather finely punctured, clothed with short grey 
pubescence, somewhat sparingly distributed. Scutellum broadly 
subquadrate, finely punctured and pubescent at base. Elytra 
very faintly depressed below- the base, punctured like the thorax, 
shoulders tuberculate ; surface clothed with short, erect, silvery 
hairs. Legs aeneous, base of femora and apices of tibiae more or 
less fulvo-rufous or sometimes piceous.

760. Eubrachis rufotibialis, sp. n. 
Obscure cupreous or aeneous, basal joints of the antennae, the 
labrum and palpi fulvous; upper surface finely pubescent ; base 
of femora and the tibiae more or less dark fulvous. 
d . Head broad, finely semirugosely punctured ; clypeus not 
separated from the face, its base finely longitudinally strigose, 
anterior border deeply triangularly emarginate ; antennae black, 
not extending to middle of elytra, basal six joints light fulvous, 
basal joint thick and short, second elongate and slender, last five
