192 Myr. Jacoby’s descriptions of phytophagous 
constricted at the middle, the basal sulcation scarcely indicated, 
the disc with a few minute punctures placed longitudinally at the 
middle; scutellum black; elytra with very deep and regularly- 
placed punctures, the interstices costate at the sides, each elytron 
with six black spots, of which one is placed at the shoulder, one 
at the sides below the base, another in a transverse line with the 
last near the suture, a fourth at the middle, the fifth below the 
latter near the suture, and the sixth near the apex; under side 
black, finely pubescent, the sides and margins of the abdominal 
segments fulvous; legs short and robust, fulvous; the knees, the 
apices of the tibiz and tarsi, black. 
Hab. Delagoa Bay. A single specimen was obtained 
by Mrs. Monteiro (my collection). 
Colasposoma foveipenne, n. 8. 
Metallic cupreous or blue; the antenne (the basal joints 
excepted) and the tarsi black ; head finely rugose-punctate; thorax 
closely and finely punctured; elytra more strongly but as closely 
punctured, with a deep greenish fovea below the base. Length, 
2—2z4 lines. 
Head flat, extremely closely and finely semirugose-punctate, the 
clypeus margined with metallic-green, its lower edge deeply con- 
cave-emarginate ; labrum piceous; antenne black, the first joint 
metallic-green above, the following two joints fulvous; thorax 
nearly three times broader than long, the sides rather evenly 
rounded, the posterior margin strongly produced and rounded at 
the middle, the surface closely and finely punctured throughout, 
the punctuation more crowded and of more elongate shape towards 
the sides, the disc reddish or cupreous, the margins narrowly 
metallic-green ; scutellum with a few fine punctures; elytra more 
strongly punctured than the thorax, the punctuation arranged in 
very close irregular rows, the shoulders prominent; below the 
base a deep oblique fovea is placed, extending more feebly towards 
the shoulders and deeply punctured within ; the sutural and lateral 
margins are also narrowly metallic-green; the under side and 
legs are coloured like the upper surface; the femora have a 
minute tooth. 
Hab. Madagascar (my collection). 
The close and fine punctuation of the head and 
thorax, the prominent median lobe of the posterior 
margin of the latter, and the deep elytral fovea in con- 
nection with the general coloration, separate the present
