27. Colaspoidcs parvula, n. sp. 



Breviter ovata, convexa, postice paullo attenuata, pallide fulvo-

Long. 1^ lin. 



Hab. Singapore. 



Head smooth, impunctale ; epistome much longer than broad, 

 lanceolate, its apex very acute, sides sinuate in front, not distinctly 

 separated from the rest of the face, the sutural lines being only 

 visible under a strong lens, anterior border broadly subangulate- 

 emarginate, surface finely and remotely punctured ; antennae 

 filiform, slightly thickened towards the apex. Thorax nearly 

 three times as broad as long, sides regularly rounded and con- 

 verging from base to apex, nearly straight and parallel at the 

 extreme base ; above transversely convex, sides strongly deflexed 

 in front; surface very sparingly impressed with round shallow 

 punctures. Elytra not excavated below the basilar space, much 

 more coarsely and closely punctured than the thorax, the punc-

 anterior two-thirds they are arranged (although very indistinctly) 

 in numerous longitudinal rows, on the hinder third the punctures 

 are smaller and the rows are much fewer in number and more 

 distinct ; interspaces smooth, plane.
