AGRILUS HOSTIA, new species 
Male—Elongate, slender, subcylindrical, strongly shining, uni- 
formly purplish brown above, except front of head, which is dark 
bluish green ; body beneath dark brown, with a distinct cupreous tinge. 
Head with front rather broad, flattened, wider at top than at bottom, 
with a broad, shallow, longitudinal depression on front; sides par- 
allel posteriorly, distinctly converging anteriorly; surface glabrous, 
finely, densely granulose, coarsely, sparsely, shallowly punctate, 
slightly rugose on occiput; clypeus narrow between antennae, broadly, 
deeply, arcuately emarginate in front; antenna extending to apical 
third of pronotum, serrate from fourth segment. 
Pronotum slightly wider than long, distinctly wider at apex than at 
base, widest near apex; sides converging from near apical angles to 
posterior angles, which are rectangular; margin and submarginal 
carinae vaguely sinuate, rather widely separated their entire length; 
anterior margin strongly sinuate, median lobe moderately produced 
and broadly rounded; base arcuately emarginate on each side, median 
Icbe broadly rounded and vaguely emarginate in front of scutellum; 
prehumeral carinae faintly indicated, narrowly separated from lateral 
carina and united to it near middle; disk convex, broadly depressed 
along sides, broadly, transversely concave on basal half, without a 
median depression; surface glabrous, densely, finely granulose, 
vaguely transversely, arcuately rugose, indistinctly punctate between 
rugae. Scutellum feebly, transversely carinate. 
Klytra broadly, shallowly constricted in front of middle, slightly 
depressed along sutural margins, tips separately broadly rounded, and 
finely, irregularly dentate; surface coarsely, densely imbricate-punc- 
tate; sparsely clothed with very short, recumbent, inconspicuous hairs. 
Abdomen not exposed above, strongly convex beneath; surface 
finely, densely granulose, finely, indistinctly punctate posteriorly, 
faintly imbricate-punctate on basal sternite, sparsely clothed with 
short, recumbent and semierect, white hairs; vertical portions of 
sternites not conspicuously pubescent; suture obsolete between first 
and second visible sternites. Prosternum glabrous, finely, densely 
eranulose, vaguely rugose; prosternal lobe broadly rounded in front; 
prosternal process broad, sides parallel, truncate and with an acute 
median tooth at apex, not expanded behind coxal cavities. Tarsal
