and there is no prominence of the metasternum. Aglycoptera is 
equally near to C'halcoplethis, but in this the peculiarly developed 
hindlegs are of a very different form, so that if these genera be 
separated, as they are, from Pelidnota on account of the struc- 
ture of the legs, they cannot be naturally placed as one genus. 
Aglycoptera lacerdæ n. sp. — Læte viridis, elytris sericeo- 
nigris, pedibus nigro-cyaneis; thorace transverso, subtiliter crebre 
punctato, nitido, elytris parce obsolete punctatis, opacis. — Long. 
28 mm. | 
Head short and broad, clypeus obtuse, parabolic, without trace 
of teeth; the front densely, the vertex sparsely punctate. Thorax 
with the margins very distinct, the surface even, with a minute 
lateral puncture on each side. Scutellum almost impunctate, con- 
colorous with the thorax. Elytra black with a faint purple tinge, 
almost impunctate, dull, forming a strong contrast to the thorax. 
Pygidium at base transversely rugose, at the apex smooth. Under- 
surface golden green, breast only sparsely-pubescent. 
This beautiful insect was presented by M. de Lacerda in whose 
honour I have named it, to Mr. H. W. Bates, and to myself, and 
I understand from M. Rene Oberthür, that it has also been received 
by other entomologists, and that it was exhibited in the Amster- 
dam exhibition two years ago.
