COLASPIS. 221 
dull zneous tint, in this respect resembling C. pruinosa, Lefévre; C. prasina may be 
either metallic green, purplish, or dark eneous in colour. 
Colaspis bifasciata (p. 139). 
To the Panama locality given, add :—Bugaba (Champion). 
Additional specimens of both sexes since received agree with the type, and differ 
from C. splendida in the way described ; another distinctive character is to be found in 
the central metallic green mark of the thorax, which in C. splendida is reduced toa 
narrow longitudinal stripe, while in the present species it assumes the shape of a broad 
triangular patch. It is not impossible, however, that the sculpture may vary, and I 
have as yet only seen two specimens of C. splendida. 
Colaspis lebasi (p. 139). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (Hf. H. Smith), Tapachula 
in Chiapas (Hége). 
Colaspis submetallica (p. 140). 
Var. Entirely fulvous, with the exception of a common transverse more or less distinct piceous mark below the 
base of the elytra. 
To the localities given, add:—Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui, Caldera 
(Champion). 
The variety, which at first sight seems quite distinct, was collected in numbers in 
Chiriqui together with the typical form; it cannot be mistaken for C. beltt (which has 
also a mark at the base of the elytra), as it is smaller, and has a differently shaped 
thorax, and differently coloured antenne and legs. Some examples show a distinct 
metallic gloss over the fulvous ground-colour. 
11(4). Colaspis fastidiosa. 
Colaspis fastidiosa, Lefévre, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1885, p. exci’. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).—CoLomB1A!; VENEZUELA}. 
Panama specimens differ somewhat from the typical form in having the thorax and 
elytra less closely punctured. The general colour of C. fastidiosa is greenish-eneous, or 
fulvous with a metallic gloss; the thorax is more or less distinctly bidentate or biangu- 
late at the sides; the elytra have very closely arranged double rows of punctures, and 
the interstices very obscurely longitudinally raised and smooth; the antenne and legs 
are fulvous. Some examples are entirely fulvous.
