GROUP COLASPINI. 
By Frep. C. Bowpirtcu. 
(Continued from p. 216.) 
Ithabdopterus grenadensis, sp. nov. 
Form of piceipes ; body below dark brown, feet lighter, with 
darker knees; above uniform bronzed, head and thorax sparsely 
punctured, especially the latter at the middle; elytra more coarsely 
punctate, seriate on the disc and apex, and costate at the latter. 
Hind tibia of g without sinuation. 
Type, 2 g, 8 9, St. Vincent, Grenada. 
Length, 4-5-5:5 mm. 
Head with the usual cross and longitudinal impressions 
rather obsolete, the sparse punctures less evident at the vertex. 
Antenne rather stout; joints 7 and 11 noticeably dark, those 
between more or less piceous; thorax with rounded sides, 
obsoletely subangulate at the middle. Elytra with usual depres- 
sion within and below the shoulder feebly indicated, obsoletely 
sointhe 2. Punctuation is coarse and at sides confluent, forming 
ruge ; the last ventral segment in the 2 is emarginate, without 
teeth ; the edges of the thorax and elytra are narrowly metallic. 
As compared with piceipes ; the punctuation of the thorax is much 
sparser and that of the elytra much coarser, the colour of the 
antenne differs, and the hind tibia of the ¢ and ventral of the 
2? are simple. 
Rhabdopterus blatchleyi, sp. nov. 
Larger than piceipes ; below, dark chestnut brown, with somewhat 
lighter legs; above, bronzy brown, the thoracic and elytral edges 
and the punctures all more or less metallic green, the hind tibia of 
the ¢ strongly dilated for its apical half, last ventral of 9 triden- 
date. 
Type, 5 ¢,5 9, Dunedin, Fla. (Blatchley); alsol ¢,Charleston, 
1858 (J. Gray). The Blatchley specimens are all more or less broken 
as to legs and antenne. 
Head with smooth antennal calli and light depressions ; 
punctuation moderate, more crowded in front; antenne with 
joints 7, 10 and 11 dark; thorax finely and nearly evenly 
punctate, sides rounded, subangulate at the middle. Elytra 
obsoletely depressed within and below the shoulder, thickly 
punctured (much coarser than the thorax), subseriate on the 
disc, with smooth intervals behind in the form of obsolete coste. 
As compared with piceipes, the thoracic punctuation is much 
closer and more even, the general form is usually larger and the
