the sides of tlic elytra or entirely cupreous, I)ut structural dif- 

 ferences I am unable to find ; the comparatively sparingly punc- 

 tured head and thorax and the distinct humeral costa sejìarates 

 the species from its congeners. 



48. Corynodes brevipennis, n. sp. — Short, subquadrate, me- 

 tallic green, antennae jturplish, thorax strongly transverse, very 

 sjiaringly and remotely punctured at the disc, elytra with Ijasal 

 depression at the sides, finely and regularly punctate-striate, 

 claws appendiculate. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head with a very deep triangular depression , within which 

 a small tubercle is placed, the vertex remotely but distinctly 

 punctured, clypeus separated by a deep groove from the face , 

 transverse, very finely rugose, labrum metallic green, antennae 

 only extending to tlie base of the elytra, the lower joints dark 

 greenish, the terminal five joints purplish, broadly flattened, 

 thorax twice as broad as long, widened at the middle, the sides 

 rounded, scarcely narrowed in front, the anterior and posterior 

 margin accompanied l)y a narrow transverse groove, the surface 

 very sparingly and remotely but distinctly punctured at the 

 disc only, the sides and base nearly im})unctate, scutellum slightly 

 longer than broad, its apex rather pointed, impunctate, elytra 

 with a transverse, rather shallow de})ression at the sides, finely 

 but not closely punctate-striate, the sides with a blunt tubercle 

 below the shoulders, underside metallic green; tarsi purplish, 

 claws appendiculate. 



This species, of which I possess a single ap}iarently female 

 specimen only from Sumatra, may be known by its general 

 short and subquadrate shape and the transverse and very spa- 

 ringly punctured thorax as well as l)y the fine and regularly 

 punctured elytra.
