Catapionus semivittatus, sp. nov. Colour shining black, with markings of metallic green or bluish scaling; head and rostrum green, except just behind the eye; prothorax with four green stripes; elytra dorsally with green scaling in the punctures only, intervals 1 and 2 and interval 4 with a broad green stripe in the apical part, a broad green stripe throughout interval 6, and a similar marginal stripe which does not quite reach the base. Head and rostrum very similar to those of C. basilicus, but with the genae less sharply angulated and the corners of the apical emargination scarcely produced. Antennce piceous, with the scape more abruptly clavate, the terminal joints of the funicle sub- moniliform. Protliorax about as long as broad in the cJ , a little. Fig. 16.^Ca(apionus scmivittatm, Mshl, broader than long in the $ , the sides subpai'allel from the base to beyond the middle, then roundly narrowed to the apex, the gular margin sinuate, the upper surface with close shallow punctation and scattered deeper punctures, a shallow impression on each side behind the middle with a glabrous space adjoining, and a deep central furrow which is broadly impressed before and behind the middle. Elytra of about the same shape as in basilicus, without distinct strife, but with rows of large separated foveae or punc- tures, the intervals shiny and impunctate, the discal ones more or less uneven, the setae longer and more sparse, but absent on the disk. Legs black, with sparse green scaling and dark setae. Length, cS tJ-Tg, $ 7| mm.; breadth, cS 3-4, $ 4^ mm. E. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page i
