Genus Haplotrinchus Kerr. 
Haplotrinchus manni n. sp. (PL III, Fig. 3) 
Length : 12 mm. ; breadth : 4.5 mm. — A Wide, very at- 
tenuate posteriorly, the elytra tailed at apex. Green above, 
with violaceous reflexions; beneath green, the tarsi bright 
brown. 
Head as wide as the anterior margin of the pronotum; 
eyes slightly convex, regularly elliptic, and very much closer 
on the vertex than in front. Front with a rounded depres- 
sion near the epistoma occupying its entire breadth, and a 
longitudinal one above the first and separated from it by a 
smooth and shining transverse swelling ; this second depres- 
sion reaches the upper level of the eyes and is separated 
from the anterior margin of the eyes by a narrow, smooth, 
and shining carina ; the bottom of this depression is clothed 
with inconspicuous pubescence. Epistome emarginate. An- 
tennal cavities subtriangular. Antennae reaching to base of 
the pronotum, serrate from the fifth joint, the fourth and 
fifth subequal, the third joint a third shorter than the fourth, 
and the second a third shorter than the third. 
Pronotum widest at base, about once and a half as wide at 
base as in front, nearly once and three quarters as wide as 
long. The anterior margin slightly bisinuate; the sides 
rather regularly rounded, with a little notch near the an- 
terior angles produced by a small transverse furrow which 
runs along the anterior margin; the posterior angles rec- 
tangular ; the sides bordered by a sharp carina, feebly 
sinuous, which reaches to the anterior transverse furrow 
already mentioned. Base slightly bisinuate. Surface 
bounded on each side by a broad cariniform swelling which 
runs along the lateral margin for two thirds of length from 
base; this swelling limited outside by an impression, very 
finely punctured at bottom, occupying the whole length of 
the pronotum. The middle of the disk smooth, shining, 
irregular, coarsely punctured, with a median, longitudinal, 
obsolete, finely punctate sulcus. 
Scutellum cordiform, convex, smooth, shining. 
Elytra once and a quarter as wide at the shoulders as the 
pronotum at base, outlined by a narrow smooth carina at 
the base, the shoulders expanded and forming a rounded lobe
