what bidentated. 
Bupeestis Gkandis: fufca, thorace eiytrifque margine tetlaceis, elytrls apice truncatis fub-bidentatis. 
This fpecies of Bupreftis has not to our knowledge been defcribed by any author. It is an Intedt of 
plain appearance, and is chiefly remarkable for being the largeft of its genus hitherto difcovered in the 
iflands of the Indian Seas. — We fufpedl this infeft cannot be uncommon in New South Wales, having 
feen, at various times, many fpecimens of it among other infedls imported from that Colony to England. 
The lower furface is black flightly gloffed with purple. 
BUPRESTIS MACULARIA. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
BraflTy black: wing-cafes entire, teftaceous, with imprefled confluent black dots. 
Bupeestis Maculaeia: nigro aenea, elytris integris teftaceis pundtis impreflis confluentibus nigris. 
The under flde of this fpecies is entirely black. This is a curious infedt, and has not apparently been 
taken notice of by any writer. We believe it to be far lefs common than the preceding. 
BUPRESTIS IMPERIALIS. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Wings entire, black, margin of the thorax, and abbreviated bands acrofs the wing-cafes, black. 
Bupeestis Imperialis : elytris integris, atia, thorace margine elytris fafciis abbreviatis teftaceis. Ful>.
