308 Mr. C. O. TTaterliouse's Notice of a small 



tinctis, suturji marginibusque tenue testaceis; abdomine 

 basi griseo. 

 Loug. 3i lin. 



Yeiy close to C. lateralis, but differs (besides in colora- 

 tion) in tlie form of the thorax, its greatest width being a 

 little more removed from the anterior angles : the sides 

 also at this part are slightly angular ; the punctuation is 

 less close, more distinct and rather stronger. The elytra 

 have the same costa?, the punctuation is rather stronger 

 and more distinct, the pubescence appears rather shorter 

 and less silky.

Copidita simplex, sp. n. 



Pallide flava, tenue griseo-pubescens ; oculis nigris ; 

 thorace leWter convexo, squali, postice parum angustato, 

 lateribus antice le'S'iter arcuatis ; elytris vitta lata laterali 

 nigi'o-grisea. 



Long. 3^ lin. 



Very close to the preceding, but differs in having the 

 thorax a trifle narrower, more gradually widened in front, 

 and to a much less extent. In C. lateralis the enlarge- 

 ment at the anterior part is rather sudden, but not quite 

 so much so as in C. Iceta.

Copidita lineata, sp. n. 



^'Eneo-cvanea, nitida ; elvtris a?neis, subtiliter rugulosis,

 Long. 3| lin. 



• Shining, bluish-green. Head very closely, finely but dis- 

 tinctlv punctured, with three small shalloAv fovere between 

 the eves. Thorax at its greatest width a little narrower than 

 the liead across the eyes, as long as broad, gently narrowed 

 behind, shining, very delicately punctured on the disk, 

 verv thicklv and 'distinctly pimctured towards the sides, 

 there is a distinct fovea in the middle of the posterior 

 margin, the sides are gently rounded in front of the 

 middle. Elytra rather dull, very finely rugulose-punc- 

 tulate, the suture and two fine lines on each elytron are 

 marked by white pubescence, there is also near the base 

 an indication of another white line.
