coxal cavities must be placed in another genus, while Iphidea 
Baly which is sunk in Gemminger Catalogue as a synonym of 
Luperodes ought to be restored as the cavities in /phidea are 
open and the tarsal joints are of comparative different length ; 
a proper definition of these closely allied genera which seem 
to be chiefly represented in the old world must be reserved 
for a future occasion. 
101. Cynorta parvula, n. sp. 
Below blackish green; antennae black; lower part of head, 
sides of the thorax and legs, testaceous; vertex, disc of the 
thorax and elytra metallic green, the latter strongly rugose- 
punctate. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head broad, not visibly punctured, testaceous, a broad trans- 
verse band at the vertex metallic green; the frontal tubercles 
strongly developped; eyes, large; antennae slender, two third 
the length of the body, blackish, the 2 or 3 basal joints testa- 
ceous below, the second joint short, the third more than twice 
as long and slightly shorter than the fourth joint; thorax nearly 
squareshaped, constricted near the base, the disc with a rather 
deep transverse depression not extending to the lateral margin, 
sparingly and very finely punctured, the sides testaceous, the 
middle of the disc occupied by a broad longitudinal metallic 
green band from the base to the apex; scutellum black; elytra 
closely and rather strongly rugose-punctate, the interstices mi- 
nutely granulate, when seen under a strong lens; an obsolete 
longitudinal groove, rather more rugosely punctured than the 
rest of the surface, is placed near and parallel to the lateral 
margin at the middle; legs entirely flavous; posterior tibiae 
with a small spine, their first tarsal joint longer than the 3 
following together; claws appendiculate ; anterior coxal cavities 
closed; elytral epipleurae continued to the apical angle.

In colouration C. parvula is almost identical with C. porrecta
