1937 ] New Buprestid Beetles 
which are conjointly and broadly rounded. Disk feebly 
reticulate. 
Plate of the prosternal process narrowed in front, obso- 
letely punctate, clothed with more or less erect hairs. All 
the abdominal segments separated from the pleural margin 
by an uninterrupted, narrow groove, the first segment with 
only a half groove. Last segment rounded at the apex, with 
the pleural margin very narrow. Claws bifid, the inner 
branch quite as long as the outer. 
Four specimens of this species were captured at Coimba- 
tore, S. India, by Mr. P. S. Nathan, and received by the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology from the Nicolay Collec- 
tion. The type (no. 22,518) and a paratype are in the 
M. C. Z. ; there is a paratype in my own collection at the 
Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris.
