  en 
  sera 
  quitte 
  pour 
  ne 
  pas 
  laisser 
  le 
  nom 
  de 
  Colpodes 
  a 
  

   I'espece 
  de 
  Mac 
  Leay." 
  Fortunately 
  the 
  mentum 
  has 
  in 
  

   reality 
  a 
  well-developed 
  tooth, 
  and 
  Macleay 
  may 
  therefore 
  

   rest 
  at 
  peace 
  in 
  his 
  grave. 
  Nothing 
  further 
  having 
  been 
  

   published 
  regarding 
  the 
  species, 
  I 
  give 
  a 
  fresh 
  description 
  

   of 
  it. 
  

  

  Colpodes 
  brunneus, 
  ?. 
  Length 
  12-5 
  mill. 
  Width 
  4-5 
  mill. 
  

  

  Dark 
  brown, 
  palpi, 
  antennae 
  from 
  joint 
  4, 
  and 
  tarsi 
  a 
  little 
  

   lighter. 
  

  

  Head 
  smooth, 
  wide, 
  rather 
  tumid, 
  with 
  deep 
  frontal 
  foveae, 
  

   which 
  are 
  longitudinally 
  striate, 
  some 
  faint 
  irregular 
  surface 
  mark- 
  

   ings 
  on 
  vertex, 
  neck 
  quite 
  smooth, 
  clypeus 
  with 
  a 
  seta 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  

   labrum 
  a 
  little 
  emarginate 
  ; 
  eyes 
  very 
  small 
  and 
  very 
  prominent, 
  

   antennae 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  body, 
  joint 
  3 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  

   than 
  4, 
  slightly 
  curved, 
  a 
  narrow 
  ridge 
  separating 
  eye 
  from 
  buccal 
  

   fissure; 
  mandibles 
  long, 
  hooked 
  at 
  apex, 
  mentum 
  with 
  a 
  strong 
  

   tooth 
  in 
  the 
  emargination. 
  

  

  Pro 
  thorax 
  one 
  -third 
  as 
  wide 
  again 
  as 
  head, 
  contracted 
  rather 
  

   more 
  in 
  front 
  than 
  behind, 
  front 
  margin 
  strongly, 
  hind 
  margin 
  

   slightly 
  emarginate 
  ; 
  sides 
  rather 
  widely 
  but 
  not 
  strongly 
  reflexed, 
  

   without 
  visible 
  setae, 
  faintly 
  sinuate 
  before 
  hind 
  angles, 
  which 
  are 
  

   obtuse 
  but 
  not 
  much 
  rounded, 
  front 
  angles 
  porrect, 
  only 
  a 
  little 
  

   rounded; 
  surface 
  rather 
  fiat, 
  with 
  very 
  faint 
  transverse 
  striation, 
  

   transverse 
  impressions 
  moderately 
  strong, 
  bounding 
  median 
  line, 
  

   which 
  is 
  not 
  very 
  deep 
  and 
  is 
  interrupted 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  (perhaps 
  

   an 
  individual 
  peculiarity), 
  hind 
  transverse 
  impression 
  ending 
  on 
  

   each 
  side 
  in 
  a 
  shallow 
  rounded 
  fovea, 
  from 
  which 
  a 
  very 
  shallow 
  

   furrow 
  runs 
  parallel 
  with 
  the 
  side 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  front 
  margin. 
  

  

  Elytra 
  long, 
  parallel, 
  half 
  as 
  wide 
  again 
  as 
  thorax; 
  basal 
  margin 
  

   bisinuate, 
  side 
  border 
  narrow, 
  slightly 
  sinuate 
  below 
  shoulder 
  and 
  

   more 
  strongly 
  near 
  apex, 
  which 
  is 
  minutely 
  dentate 
  ; 
  striae 
  moder- 
  

   ately 
  strong, 
  faintly 
  crenulate, 
  a 
  well-developed 
  scutellary 
  stride 
  

   between 
  1 
  and 
  suture, 
  intervals 
  smooth, 
  flat 
  on 
  disk, 
  more 
  convex 
  

   towards 
  sides. 
  Both 
  elytra 
  have 
  pin-holes 
  through 
  them, 
  but 
  

   there 
  are 
  apparently 
  three 
  punctures 
  on 
  interval 
  3, 
  viz. 
  1 
  at 
  a 
  fifth 
  

   from 
  base 
  (adjoining 
  stria 
  3), 
  2 
  just 
  before 
  middle 
  (in 
  middle 
  of 
  

   interval), 
  and 
  3 
  at 
  three-fourths 
  (adjoining 
  stria 
  2); 
  the 
  punctures 
  

   on 
  interval 
  9 
  widely 
  interrupted 
  in 
  middle. 
  

  

  Underside 
  smooth, 
  shiny, 
  prostemal 
  process 
  not 
  bordered, 
  met- 
  

   episterna 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  narrow, 
  surface 
  a 
  little 
  uneven, 
  sides 
  of 
  

   ventral 
  surface 
  minutely 
  wrinkled, 
  last 
  segment 
  with 
  two 
  setae 
  

   on 
  each 
  side. 
  Tibiae 
  not 
  grooved 
  on 
  outer 
  side, 
  upper 
  surface 
  of 
  

   tarsi 
  grooved 
  on 
  both 
  sides, 
  under 
  surface 
  clothed 
  with 
  dense 
  yellow
