process, and that the geminate strife of the elytra are more strongly 

 impressed. The flabellum of the antennae in the female (with its 

 basal lamella only about half as long as the apical three lamellae) 

 is however quite distinct from that of C. laminata. 



I have an example which I believe to be the male of this 

 species ; apart from smaller size (which cannot be relied on as a 

 specific character) it scarcely differs from the male of C. laminata, 

 except in the two non-sexual characters mentioned above.

COLPOCHILA BELLA, Sp.nOV. 



Ovata ; sat nitida ; brunnea vel rufo-testacea ; Isete irides- 

 cens ; pectore dense cinereo-hirsuto ; abdomine sparsim 

 setoso ; capite (hoc sat brevi) confertim rugulose, prothorace 

 pygidioque (hoc apicem versus longitudinaliter vix impresso) 

 subtiliter minus crebre, elytris (his geminato-striatis) sat 

 fortiter sat crebre, punctulatis; antennis 9-articulatis; elytris 

 apice suturali vix spinoso-productis ; prothoracis basi bisinu-

 posticis (superne visis) valde acutis (a latere visis) obtusis. 

 Maris antennarum flabello stipite vix breviori, 4-articulato, 

 articulo 1° quam 2"^ fere duplo breviori ; stipitis articulo 

 ultimo intus breviter acute dentato. 

 Feminae antennarum flabello stipite minus duplo breviori, 

 3-articulato, stipitis articulis ultimis 2 intus dentatis.

 The prothorax is twice as wide as long ; from the front angles 

 (which are acute and not very prominent) the sides diverge with 

 but little sinuation to behind the middle, where they are strongly 

 I'ounded ; from this point they converge to the hind angles 

 sinuately (when viewed from above), but without sinuation when 

 examined from the side. 



Compared with G. obesa, Burm., (to which I compare it merely 

 because that species is a common one, but the two are very 

 different), — besides the very different colour and antennal charac- 

 ters, — the present species has the prothorax more rounded on the 

 sides with very much more defined hind angles (viewed from
