gg [ September, 



General form and size of C. mauritiana, but the clypeus is not quite so deeply 

 notched. The thorax is more regularly narrowed in front, not so angular in front of 

 the middle, there is some very fine punctuation towards the sides with a few rather 

 larger punctures intermixed, the sides are moi'e finely margined. The elytra have 

 five lines of distinct but fine punctures (not reaching the base or apex), the 2nd and 

 4th interstices are very slightly raised, the 1st and 3rd have each a short irregular 

 line of punctures. The prosternum is as in C. inmiritiana, but the apex is not bent 

 down. The sides of the sterna are thickly and rather strongly punctured ; and the 

 sides of the abdominal segments are distinctly and moderately thickly punctured. 



<? . Anterior tibiae narrow, simple. Abdomen strongly impressed in the middle. 



$ . Anterior tibise with three sharp teeth. 



The pygidium is densely transversely striolate in both sexes, and slightly convex.

 Closely resembles C. mauritiana in form, the thorax is, however, a trifle more 

 narrowed in front, the scutellum narrower, &c. The clypeus is not quite so deeply 

 notched, and the extreme apex is tinged with red. The elytra are yellow, with 

 tinges of green ; the suture, a spot on the shoulder, and the subapical callosity, green_ 

 The pubescence on the anterior femora is yellowish. The tarsi are more or less 

 pitchy. The pygidium in the male is smooth, not impressed, with a few punctures 

 on each side. In the female it is impressed on each side, leaving an obtuse trans- 

 verse ridge near the base, and a mesial longitudinal raised line nearly as in C. 

 mauritiana ; it is finely strigose, b\it much less densely than in that species, and the 

 mesial raised line is smooth. 



COPTOMIA PHOPINQUA, Sp. 11. 



Olivaceo-viridis (vel piirpurascens) , nitida ; pygidio leviter convexo, sttb- 

 tiliter strigoso ; sterno minus jjroducto. ? . Long. 8| lin. 



Extremely close to C. mauritiana, but at once distinguished from the female of 

 that species by the gently convex, finely strigose pygidium, not impressed at the 

 sides. The form and sculpture are nearly the same, but the thorax has not the 

 larger distinct punctures towards the sides. The elytra have no distinct costse, and 

 are very smooth ; the subapical callosity is closer to tlie suture, and the extreme apex 

 of the elytra is transversely strigose. The sternal process is less developed, not 

 bent over at the apex towards the anterior coxiK, and anteriorly it is more perpendi- 

 cular. Tarsi pitchy. 



Variety — dark olive-green, nearly black in parts, with the elytra obscure reddish- 

 purple. Legs black. This specimen is a little broader than the other, but I have 

 no doubt as to its identity. 



COPTOMIA APICALIS, Sp. 11. 

 Nigra, nitida ; elytrorum apice crebre strigoso ; pygidio vtrinque oblique 

 impresso, dense subtiliter transversim strigoso. ?. Ljong. 10 lin.
