This new species is closely allied to and strongly resem- bles Schizorrhina Whitei Thorns, (rz Emiliae Tlioms. -^j nee White) of the same locality, but can at once be distin- guished by the different shape of the elytra which are broadly truncated posteriorly, and strongly spined at the suture. Length 18 mm. ; breadth at the shoulders 9,25 mm. — Entirely of a bright metallic green , spotted and striped with fulvous-yellow in the following manner, which how- ever will probably prove to vary individually as in the allied species: on the head: a small spot between the eyes; on the pronotum: the thickened lateral margins without however reaching the hind margin , a narrow irregularly edged line on each side, more or less parallel with the lateral margins and divided into three spots of which the ante- rior and intermediate ones are of an elongated shape, the pos- terior one of a transverse triangular shape , and two square J.

Head finely punctured , with an almost smooth space on the vertex, behind which the punctures are larger; the anterior margin of the clypeus upturned and inconspicu- ously emarginated in the middle. The clypeus with three faint impressions : two at the lateral margins , the third be- fore the middle of the front margin. The pronotum sparingly punctured towards the sides the middle of the disk impunctate; the scutellum with some shallow punctures on the extreme base. The elytra broadly truncated at the apex and strongly spined at the suture; the posterior lateral angles rectan- gular. The line which accompanies the suture shallow, distinctly impressed however close to the sides of the scu- tellum; moreover each elytron shows six longitudinal striae of very shallow punctures, the first stria being the most inconspicuous of all, whereas all along the sides behind the shoulders and on the apical portion of the elytra trans- verse scratches are present. The abdominal segment which precedes the pygidium transversely, the pygidium con- centrically aciculated.
