Metallic green or blue : basal joints of antennte (first excepted) 

 fulvous, rest black. 



c?. Head longitudinally strigose at the vertex, strongly and 

 moderately closely punctured on the lower portion, the space 

 between the eyes with a small depression ; the anterior margins 

 of the clypeus deeply concave-emarginate ; labrum fulvo-piceous ; 

 mandibles metallic green; antenna filiform, slender, piceous or 

 black, the basal joint metallic green, the following three joints 

 fulvous. Thorax strongly transverse, the lateral margins strongly 

 widened at the base, from there to the apex greatly and rather 

 suddenly narrowed ; the surface punctured like the head, more 

 finely and verv closely near the anterior margin along which 

 are placed one or several rows of smaller punctures ; the disc- 

 rather swollen. Scutellum not longer than broad, punctured 

 at the base. Elytra with a shallow transverse depression below 

 the base, rather closely and regularly punctured near the suture 

 where the punctures are arranged in rows, the rest of the surface 

 near the sides deeply and irregularly punctate, the interstices 

 strongly transversely rugose, the apex finely punctured and 

 without rugosities. Beneath and the legs metallic dark green ; 

 abdomen and the tarsi nearly black. 



Length 5-5^ mm.

The anterior tibiae of the male are straight, not curved 

 or much thickened at apex as is generally the case, the tarsi 

 scarcely more widened than those of the female. 



783. Colasposoma nmltipunctatum, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, 



xxvii, 1889, p, 177. 



Metallic greenish or purplish ; basal joints of antennae and 

 labrum fulvous. 



Head closely, finely and evenly punctured, the vertex with 

 a more or less distinct longitudinal groove; the clypeus not 

 separated from the face ; labrum fulvous ; mandibles cupreous ; 

 antennae fulvous, with the terminal joints slightly dilated, the 

 apical four or five joints fuscous. Thorax twice as broad as 

 long ( c? ), nearly three times as broad as long ( ), the lateral 

 margin rounded at the base, rather suddenly narrowed towards 

 the apex, the surface transversely convex, with a very obscure 

 anterior transverse depression ; the disc light cupreous, the 

 extreme lateral margins metallic green, crowded with small 

 punctures which are still more closely placed at the sides, the 

 middle of the disc with a very narrow longitudinal smooth line. 

 Scutellum as broad as long, impunctate. Elytra slightly trans- 

 versely depressed below the base, more strongly and not quite
