BUPRESTIS GRANDIS. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Fufcous, margin of the thorax, and wing-cafes, teftaceousj wing-cafes truncated at the tip, and fome- 
what bidentated. 
Buprestis Grandis: fufca, thorace elytrifque margine teftaceis, elytris apice truncatis fub-bidentatis. 
This fpecies of Bupreftis has not to our knowledge been defcribed by any author. It is an infed of 
plain appearance, and is chiefly remarkable for being the largeft of its genus hitherto difcovered in the 
iflands of the Indian Seas.—We fufped this infed cannot be uncommon in New South Wales, having 
feen, at various times, many fpecimens of it among other infers imported from that Colony to England. 
The lower furface is black flightly glofled with purple. 
BUPRESTIS MACULARIA. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
BrafTy black: wing-cafes entire, teftaceous, with imprefled confluent black dots. 
Buprestis Macularia: nigro-aenea, elytris integris teftaceis pundis impreflis confluentibus nigris. 
The under tide of this fpecies is entirely black. This is a curious infed, 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. 
Buprestis Imperials: elytris integris, atia, thorace margine elytris fafciis abbreviatis teftaceis. Fab.
