the same colour, the first joint extremely long, slender and 
thickened at the apex, the third joint double the length of the 
second, the 4 following joints very long and equal, the others 
wanting; thorax narrow, the anterior angles oblique, the po- 
sterior ones acute, the disc with a more or less deep transverse 
depression, not extending to the sides, impunctate or with a 
few minute punctures; scutellum fulvous; elytra very closely 
and finely punctured, the punctuation gradually diminishing 
towards the apices, metallic green, the fulvous band extending 
either to the lateral margin or interrupted before the latter ; 
sides of the abdomen generally spotted with black. 
Hab. New Guinea, Ramoi, Fly River, Aru Island (L. M. D’Al- 
bertis, Beccari). 
This species is apparently allied to P. apvrorimata Baly but 
seems to differ by the fulvous clypeus and similarly coloured 
scutellum as well as by the finely punctured elytra; ‘the ful- 
vous band of the latter in one specimen extends upwards along 
the suture to the base and its shape in all is slightly curved. 
In P. approxîmata the corresponding band is described as angu- 
late with the angle directed backwards; the elytra in the latter 
species are also described with another posterior fulvous- spot. 
53. Prasyptera antennata, n. sp. 
Fulvous; head, antennae (the base of the joints excepted) 
the apices of the posterior femora, tibiae and tarsi, black; thorax 
rugose-punctate; elytra metallic green closely punctured and 
transversely rugose ; abdomen spotted with black at the sides. 
Length 3 lines. 
Head impunctate at the vertex, the clypeus rugosely punctu- 
red, covered with hairs; antennae nearly as long as the body, 
very thin and slender, the third joint scarcely longer than the 
second, the base of all whitish; thorax narrowly transverse, the 
anterior and posterior margin parallel, the anterior angles 
slightly oblique, the posterior ones finely toothed, surface without 
depressions , rugose and deeply punctured; scutellum black;
