590 COLEOPTERA. 



to below the middle, evidently dilated and obtusely prominent there, 

 narrower near the extremity ; basal joint of all the tarsi large, oblong- 

 cordate. 



Less convex and more oblong than 3964 {C. Jiallianus) and of a more 

 coppery or rufescent black, rather longer than the male, with more sub- 

 angular tibiae, and quite definitely seriate-punctate elytra. 



cJ. Length, 5 mm. ; breadtli, 3 mm. 



Glenhope. A single male, from Mr. Hall ; 8th June, 1915. 



415L Caccomolpus amplus sp. nov. 



Oblong-oval, moderately convex and nitid ; aeneo-niger, elytra more 

 viridescent, legs rufo-castaneous, antennae much paler. 



Tliis is rather larger, of more oblong contour, and a little less shining than 

 C. subcupreus. The thorax is a third shorter than the elytra, it is rather 

 more coarsely punctured ; the elytra are slightly flatter, their punctation 

 less regular, and the scutellar series consist of about ten punctures instead 

 of four ; the scutellum in place of being short is quite oblong ; the colora- 

 tion is notably different ; the pygidium is similarly exposed ; and the hind 

 pairs of tibiae are only moderately dilated below the middle. It is not at 

 all like the more glossy C. viridescens (3948). 



Length, G mm. ; breadth, 3| mm. 



GkMihope. Unique. Discovered by Mr. T. Hall on the 3rd March, 1915, 

 minus a leg and terminal joints of antennae. 



4152. Caccomolpus cinctiger sp. nov. 



Nitid, nude, broadly oval, convex ; fusco-niger, the sides, above and 

 below, the legs, and antennae fusco-testaceous. 



Head broadly impressed in front, subsulcate behind, finely punctate 

 along the middle, smooth near the eyes. Thorax fully twice as broad as long, 

 base slightly oblique towards its rectangular angles, the sides gradualh' 

 narrowed anteriorly, only very slightly curved near the front ; disc very 

 irregularly, rather coarsely, but not closely ))unctured, the punctures more 

 elongate at each side of the base, nearly smooth between each side and the 

 middle. Scutellum suboblong, impunctate. Elytra slightly wider than 

 thorax at the base, a little broader before the middle, gradually narrowed 

 posteriorly ; each with a small basal impression between the middle and 

 shoulder, their punctation irregular, rather fine and indefinite, more dis- 

 tinctly and subseriately near the sides. 



Legs stout, finely setose ; anterior tibiae arched outwardly, the others 

 evidently curvedly dilated below the middle, nearly straight inwardly ; 

 basal joint of the tarsi hardly as broad as the j)cnultimate. Antennae 

 rather more slender than those of C. suhcupreus but otherwise similar. 



Unmistakably different from every other member of the genus. 



Length, 4| mm. ; breadth, 3 mm. 



Glenhope. My specimen is another of Mr. T. Hall's captures, on the 

 20th December, 1914. A second example was badly crushed and some- 

 what immature.
