P}iyloj>1iaga Malay ana. 15 1 



25. Colaspoides violacea, n, sp. 



Oblonga, convexa, snpra CEerulea, siibtus piceo-violacea ; anten- 

 nis fulvis, apice fuscis ; tliorace siibcrebre punctato ; elytris 

 infra basin non excavatis, siibcrebre striatim punctatis, inter- 

 spatiis ad apicem obsolete costatis. 



Long. 2 lin. 



Hab. Borneo (Sarawak). 



Head smootl), nearly impunctate ; epistome wedge-sliaped, 

 apical margin obsolete, anterior border slightly concave-emargi- 

 nate; antennae nearly equal to the body in length, filiform, very 

 slightly thickened towards the apex, three apical joints fuscous. 

 Thorax nearly three times as broa 1 as long; sides rounded, con- 

 verging in front; above transversely convex, sides obliquely de- 

 flexed in front, surface somewhat closely punctured. Elytra scarcely 

 broader than the thorax, not excavated below the basilar space, 

 somewhat coarsely and closely punctured, the punctures arranged 

 in numerous irregular longitudinal rows, which approximate in 

 pairs on the hinder disk ; these again, near the suture and on the 

 outer margin, contract as they approach the apex into single 

 rows, the interspaces between them being thickened and forming 

 indistinct costae. 



26, Colasjwides picea, n. sp. 



Oblonga, convexa, pallide picea, nitida ; femorum apicibus 

 tibiisque obsciirioribus ; thorace tenuiter punctato ; elytris 

 confuse seriatim punctatis. 



Long. 1^ lin. 



Hab. Singapore. 



Head smooth, nearly impunctate ; epistome not longer than 

 broad, sides rounded, apical margin obsolete, anterior border 

 concave-emarginate ; surface distinctly punctured, impressed on 

 either side near the apex with an oblong fovea ; antennae slender, 

 filiform. Thorax nearly three times as broad as long, sides 

 rounded from base to apex, converging in front ; surface obliquely 

 deflexed on either side in front, very finely but indistinctly punc- 

 tured. Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax, not impressed 

 below the basilar space, distinctly punctate-striate, the strias 

 slightly approximating in double rows; on the hinder third of the 

 disk the puncturing of these rows becomes irregular and confused, 

 each pair having as usual a tendency to become single ; inter- 

 spaces smooth.
