The Chinese species Scaphostethus tuberculicollis Faust, from 
Kau-en, is so similar to this new species that it may be con- 
founded with it, but the elytra of the latter are shorter and 
broader and the sides of thorax are nearly straight and parallel. 
Antennae dark red, second joint of funicle longer than the 
thickened first, the four apical ones thicker than long, the 
seventh joined with the subcylindric club; femora and tibiae 
hardly (in tuberculicollis very coarsely) punctured, the first 
whitish setaceous, the last slightly dilated toward apex.

This species belongs to the metallic, shining forms for which 
I have proposed, for practical reasons, the subgeneric name 
Metallalcides , 30 It shows a bright metallic green color, somewhat 
coppery on thorax and legs. Antennae and tarsi black ; prothorax 
with rather scattered, finer punctures, on each side, near the 
anterior and on the posterior angles, there (only partly visible 
from above) with a grayish tomentose spot, a fifth smaller 
one on the scutellar lobe; elytra hardly twice as long as broad 
(1 : 0.6), with a subtransverse, roundish, slightly impressed spot 
near base, extending from the middle of second interval as far 
as fifth stria, a broad median band the front border of which 
is sinuate' on each elytron and coincides externally with the 
middle of meta-episterna ; a subapical bond, in front concave
