the base, the surface with a very deep transverse fovea at each 
side, black, shining; elytra with a slight depression below the 
base, not visibly punctured, even when seen under a strong 
lens; tibiae unarmed; claws appendiculate ;. anterior coxal ca- 
vities closed. 
Hab. Borneo, Sarawak (Doria and Beccari). 
This is evidently a very variable species and it is probable 
that specimens occur in which the elytra are entirely black or 
piceous ; the abdomen seems however to be constantly black;

Metallic green or bluish; lower part of the face, the antennae 
and legs fulvous; thorax bifoveolate, impunctate; elytra very 
closely and irregularly punctured. 
Length 3 lines. 
9. Head impunctate, metallic green at the vertex; lower 
portion flavous or fulvous the middle stained more or less with 
metallic green; the space between the antennae raised into an 
acutely shaped ridge, extending to the lower edge of the clypeus; 
antennae fulvous, the second joint very short, the third and 
fourth joints equal; thorax scarcely broader than long, the 
sides nearly straight, slightly rounded before the middle, the 
surface with two round foveas, the interior of which is furnished 
with a few punctures, the rest of the surface entirely impunctate; 
elytra very closely and distinctly punctured with traces of lon- 
gitudinal striae ; underside metallic bluish; legs fulvous; tibiae 
unarmed; the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the 
two following joints together; claws appendiculate; anterior 
coxal cavities closed. 
Hab. Borneo, Sarawak (Doria and Beccari). _
