depressions, interstices below shoulders subelevate, transversely 

 strigose ; humeral callus smooth, very prominent ; each elytron with 

 an oblong tubercle near apex and suture.

Unknown to me. 



776. Colasposoma clavareaui, sp. n. 



Metallic green ; antennae and tarsi black or piceous ; beneath 

 dark aeneous. 



c? . Head closely punctured and obliquely strigose throughout ; 

 a small tubercle at the base of the clypeus ; labrum piceous ; 

 antennae with the basal six joints purplish-blue, rest black, ter- 

 minal five strongly thickened, thii'd and following two elongate, 

 equal. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides moderately rounded, 

 puncturation deep, punctures subremotely placed on the middle, 

 more closely so at the sides, interstices at latter place slightly 

 rugose. Scutellum finely punctured. Elytra very convex ; punc- 

 tures not larger than those on the thorax, arranged in closely 

 approximate rows on the inner disc, more irregularly so at the 

 sides, interstices below shoulders slightly transversely rugose. 

 Femora and breast more or less metallic green. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hob. Pondicherry (Colls. Brit. J/ws. fy Jacoly). 



Principally distinguished by the entirely strigose interstices of 

 the head, the punctures visible on the vertex only, and the 

 strongly and closely punctured thorax, colour of the antennae, &c. 

 Female unknown. 



777. Colasposoma coromandeliana, sp. n. 



Metallic blue or green ; terminal joints of antennae and the 

 tarsi black. 



c? . Head closely punctured on the vertex, longitudinately stri- 

 gose above the eyes ; clypeus rugose : labrum piceous ; antennae 

 with basal joint metallic green or blue, following three or four 

 joints purplish or piceous, rest black, short and stout, third and 

 fourth equal. Thorax transversely convex, lateral margins rather 

 strongly rounded in the middle ; surface closely and finely punc- 

 tured, slightly more strongly so at the sides ; interstices smooth, 

 impunctate, larger than the punctures themselves. Scutellum 

 broad, metallic green, with a few punctures. Elytra scarcely more 

 strongly punctured than the thorax, punctures arranged in irre- 

 gular rows, a very feeble depression below the base slightly more 

 strongly punctured. Breast and legs metallic greenish or bluish, 

 abdomen nearly black. Anterior tibiae widened and curved 

 at apex. 



$ . Besides the usual non-dilated and straight tibia? differs from 

 the c? in the deeper elytral depression, which is strongly rugose,
