coppery, with a common grenn triangle eztending from 
the humerous to beyond the middle;, beneath, the green 
color, is less brilliant. Another variety has the cupreous 
color of the thorax confined to the lateral margin, the re- 
mainder being of the color of the elytra. 
1 may add to the specific description that the head has an 
orbicular indentation between tlie eyes and a slightly in- 
dented line on the vertex; the scutel is altogether destitu- 
te of a transverse elevated line, it is convex and widely 
triaiigiilar: the elytra are minutely serrate at tip. 
This species has characters in common with Buprestis 4* 
Agrilus,and it may perhaps belong to the latter. 
AGRILUS, Megerie. 
1. A. rufficollis, F. We may add to theFabrician charac- 
ters that the head is profoundly indententer! on the vertex, 
the indented line is continued down the front; the elytra 
are scabrous and at tip, as well as that of the abdomen ser- 
rate. 
Var. A. Thorax obscure green. 
Var. B. Thorax color of the elytra. 
The great indentation of the virtex distinguishes this spe- 
cies from others of this country. Herbst’s figure only 
lends to mislead, if iiidead it can h$ inlendetl for this inse- 
ct at all. It is too robust., and the thorax is not represen- 
ted as indented and the elytra are punctured in striae, with 
large punctures. 
3. A. geinioatus, Nob. A numerous species, the colour 
of the head and thorax often resen^dding those of the pre- 
ceding species, but the acute, arquated, elevated line at the 
posterior angles, is similar to that of the linearis, F. of Aus- 
tria, which it very much resembles. 
3. A. politus. Nob. Much like arquatas, but a little 
more robust and of a !)ril[iant color. Like, the other spe- 
cies its elytra are denticulated at tip. Having examined 
numerous specimens I find that it is not of a larger size 
than geminatus.
