FeminaB antennarum flabello stipite multo breviori, sub-4 

 articulato, — articulo 1° quam 2° plus duplo breviori; stipitis 

 articulo ultimo intus sat longe sat acute dentato. 



[Long. 9-10, lat. 4|-5-| lines. 



This species considerably resembles C. hella, from which it 

 differs (apart from antennal characters) iu its long clypeus 

 strongly narrowed anteriorly, the closer puncturation of its 

 elytra and the stronger puncturation of its ventral segments, the 

 sutural apex of the elytra not spinose, and the different form and 

 sculpture of its prothorax, which is much less narrowed anteriorly 

 and has less rounded sides, with hind angles appearing from above 

 much less acute and prominent, &c., &c. This segment is just 

 twice as wide as long, and its sides are almost evenly curved, the 

 greatest width however being behind the middle.

COLPOCHILA SOLIDA, Sp.nOV. 



Elongato-ovata ; subnitida, nigro-fusca vix iridescens, capite 

 prothorace pedibusque (nonnullis exemplis) obscurioribus, an- 

 tennis palpisque rufo-testaceis ; pectore valde fulvo-hirsuto, 

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

 pi'othorace sat crebre sat rugulose, elytris (his geminato- 

 striatis) fortius subsparsim punctulatis ; pygidio (parte apicali 

 excepta) pustulis minutis (singulis setas brevissimas singulas 

 ferentibus) crebre obsito ; antennis 9-articulatis ; prothoracis 

 basi bisinuata, quam margo anticus vix hujus dimidio 

 latiori, angulis posticis (superne visis) vix acutis ; elytris 

 apice suturali breviter spinoso-productis* 

 Mas (?) latet. 



Feminte (J) antennarum flabello stipitis dimidio vix longiori, 



3-articulato, stipitis articulis ultimis 2 intus breviter obtuse 



dentatis. [Long. 11, lat. 6 lines (vix). 



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



angles (which are sharp and moderately produced) the sides 



(viewed from above) diverge strongly to just behind the middle, 



where they are strongly rounded ; they then converge slightly and 



scarcely sinuately to the basal angles.
