South American EumoJpiihv. 479 



thorax biangulate at the sides, strongly and closely punctured, elytra 

 very closely and rather irregixlarly punctured, the punctures not 

 stronger than those of the thorax. 



Length 7 millim. 



Mds. Head very closely and rather strongly punctured, with a deep 

 longitudinal, central groove, clypeus punctured like the head, 

 labrum and palpi flavous, antennae entirely fulvous, extending below 

 the middle of the elytra ; thorax scarcely twice as broad as long, 

 rather long, the sides biangulate at the middle, the surface closely but 

 unevenly punctured, the interstices rather convex, the sides with a 

 small fovea ; elytral punctuation arranged in very closely approached 

 semi-regular rows, the apex more closely and irregularly punctured, 

 the sides with a narrow longitudinal costa, more distinct below the 

 middle ; below greenish-aeneous, impunctate. 



Hal. Amazons. 



The nearest allied species to the present one seem to 

 be C. liTuinosa, Lef., and G. /craria, Lef., but in both 

 these insects the elytral punctuation is still much more 

 closely placed, so that the interstices are not larger than 

 the punctures, in C. viridipunctata on the other hand, the 

 punctures are arranged in rows, although very closely so, 

 and the interstices are smooth and larger than the 

 punctures ; the general coloration is a sombre brownish 

 fuscous, but the interior of the punctures is greenish or 

 blue ; the tibiae and tarsi are paler than the femora ; the 

 female does not differ in these respects. 



Golaspis colomhica, sp. n. 



Obscure dark ccneous, thorax closely and strongly punctured at the 

 sides, the latter angulate at the middle, elytra strongly geminate 

 punctate-striate, the interstices at the apex longitudinally costate. 



Length 4-4| millim. 



Head extremely closely and strongly punctured, the luln'um dark 

 fulvous, antennse scarcely extending to the middle of the elytra, black, 

 the basal joints stained more or less with flavous below, terminal 

 joints distinctly thickened ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides 

 angulate at the middle, the disc very deeply and closely punctured 

 at the sides, the latter sometimes with a depression, the middle of the 

 disc with a mure or less smooth, longitudinal narrow space ; elytra 

 more strongly punctured than the thorax, the punctures arranged in 

 double rows near the suture, those at the sides more irregularly 

 so, the interstices near the apex strongly longitudinally costate.
