72 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
SOUTH AMERICAN EUMOLPIDH, MOSTLY OF THE 
GROUP COLASPINI. 
By Frep. C. Bowpitcx. 
(Continued from p. 30.) 
Colaspis klagit, sp. nov. 
Like a small ¢rvvialis, Boh. Above, shining bronze, below, 
brown ; legs rufous with knees and tarsi more or less darkened ; 
antenne rufous, darker at last two or three joints; thorax punctured, 
smooth and convex, strongly obtusely angled at the middle; elytra 
regularly geminate punctate, striate, with raised, smooth longitudinal 
intervals, costate at the apical end, the extreme reflexed edge of the 
thorax and elytra and all the punctures cyaneous; hind ¢ tibia 
abruptly angulate within at the middle. 
Type, ¢ and 9, Amazon Valley, near Santarem (Klages). 
Length, 4-5-5 mm. 
Resembles a small interstitialis, Lef., and probably mixed 
with it in collections, but separable by the g tibia. Head closely 
punctate with a flattened depression on the front and the usual 
smooth calli; thorax evenly convex and the punctures only 
slightly more crowded at the sides, elytral punctuation very 
regular, hardly disturbed at the scutel or sides. Klagii and 
dilatipes belong to the interstitialis group; from analogy I infer 
that probably subenea, Jac., and lefevrei, Bow. (geminata, Lef.), 
have dilated ¢ tibia. 
Colaspis punctipennis, Sp. Nov. 
Size of a small trivialis, Boh; elongate. Brassy zneous, shining ; 
legs, palpi, labrum and antennz rufous, the latter fuscous at the end ; 
head densely punctate except the extreme vertex; thorax coarsely 
punctate and sinuate, bidentate at the sides; elytra everywhere 
grossly, almost foveate, punctate, transversely confluent, forming 
rugee everywhere, except the sides and apex, where there are the 
usual costa; inner edge of hind tibie sharply, angularly dilated 
below the middle. 
Type, ¢, Teresopolis (first Jac. Coll.). 
Length, 6 mm. 
Head with broad triangular depression in front, the usual: 
smooth calli obsolete; the elytral punctuation is very coarse, 
noticeably so in the very obsolete transverse depression. The 
form of the tibia seems different from any of the allied species— 
the 2 probably has more costate elytra. It is probably mixed in 
collections with prwinosa, Lef., which occurs from the same 
locality and is often the same size.
