silar portion indistinctly elevated ; each elytron impressed with 

 ten rows of deep distinct punctures, the outer row sulcate ; inter- 

 spaces plane in front, subcostate towards the apex, each im- 

 pressed with a row of fine punctures ; outer half of external 

 disk obsoletely wrinkled transversely ; hinder thighs ampullate, 

 much shorter than the abdomen, moderately incrassate. 



Var. A. In this variety the head and thorax (with the excep- 

 tion of an obscure patch on the vertex of the former) are con- 

 colorous with the elytra. 



Genus Colasposoma, Laporte. 

 Colasposoma Downesii. 



C. anguste oblongum, convexum, metallico-viride ; labro, antennis 

 (his extrorsum nigris) pedibusque rufo-fulvis, genibus viridi-seneis, 

 tarsis fuscis ; capite tboraceque fortiter subcrebre puuctatis ; ely- 

 tris oblongis, subcrebre punctatis, lateribus transversim elevato- 

 reticulatis, intra margiuem exteriorem longitudinaliter excavatis, 

 lsete cupreis, utroque viridi-seneo limbato. 



Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. India. 



Narrowly oblong, convex. Head and thorax deeply, but not 

 coarsely, punctured; antennae slender, filiform, two-thirds the 

 length of the body, their basal third rufo-fulvous, the rest black. 

 Thorax more than twice as broad as long, sides rounded, ro- 

 tundate-angustate in front. Elytra oblong, their sides parallel, 

 more coarsely punctured than the thorax, scarcely broader than 

 the latter ; disk transversely impressed below the basilar space. 



Genus Euryope, Dalm, 

 Euryope monstrosa. 



E. late subquadrato-oblonga, valde convexa, subgibbosa, sub- 

 nitida, picea ; antennis pedibusque pallidioribus ; thorace trans- 

 verso, crebre punctato, dorso subrugoso, utrinque excavato ; 

 elytris thorace latioribus, subquadratis, apice obtuse rotundatis, 

 tuberculis magnis elevatis hie illic inter se confluentibus nitide 

 rufo-piceis instructis, interspatiis subremote punctatis. 



Long. 4-5 lin. 



Hab. Port Natal. 



Broadly subquadrate-oblong, convex. Head broad, somewhat 

 closely punctured; epistome transverse, excavated on either side, 

 not distinctly separated from the face, the latter impressed on 

 its upper portion by a broad transverse groove. Thorax twice 

 as broad as long, its surface irregular, deeply excavated on 

 either side; lateral border rounded, narrowly margined, nar- 

 rowed behind the middle, all the angles produced. Elytra
