dark bluish- green, apical segments and the tarsi clothed with 
fusco-flavous pubescence. 
“ Length 10 mm. 
“Hab. India.” (Marshall.) 
I have not been able to find the type of this species, nor do I 
know of one with an impuuctate head and colour of the antennae 
as given by the author. The structure of the claws is not 
mentioned.

spec. Phytoph. 1864, p. 4. 
Vertex of head cupreous, anterior portion blue or green ; 
antennae, legs and underside purplish ; thorax blue or partly 
cupreous ; elytra cupreous, the suture narrowly, abroad transverse 
band at the middle and a trigonal patch near the apex dark blue 
margined with green. 
Head with deep central groove, remotely punctured ; supraocular 
cavities blue, deep and smooth ; clypeus separated from the face 
by a deep transverse groove, closely punctured ; labrum and 
mandibles black ; antennae with the terminal five joints broadly 
widened, basal joints more or less stained with dark fulvous, 
first joint blue. Thorax about half as broad again as long, 
sides straight at the base, rounded and narrowed anteriorly, ante- 
rior angles acutely produced, surface rather strongly but remotely 
punctured. Scutellum blue. Elytra very convex, without any 
basal depression, punctured in rather closely approximate and 
regular rows, the punctures like those on the thorax or somewhat 
finer. Claws appendiculate. 
Length 8-10 mm.

One of the handsomest species of the genus. The elytral 
transverse band does not extend to either margin and is con- 
siderably narrowed at its inner portion near the suture ; the 
subapical patch is likewise transverse and extends across the 
suture. The head, antenme and legs are wrongly described as 
black by Baly.

5 . Elongate, metallic green. Head subremotely and finely 
punctured ; clypeus separated by a deep groove. Thorax trans- 
verse, rather fiat, angles prominent, sides widened from base to 
apex, rounded anteriorly, puucturation rather fine and remote. 
Elytra strongly punctured in closely approximate rows, sides with 
two acute longitudinal costie. Claws appendiculate.
