COLASPOIDES. 515 



891. Colaspoides subrugosa, sp. n. (PL II, fig. 14). 



$ . Dark aeneous, with slight cupreous gloss ; antennae and legs 

 more or less piceous. 



Head cupreous or greenish, vertex remotely, anterior portion 

 closely and strongly punctured ; antennas slender, basal five joints 

 fulvous, rest piceous, third and following joints very elongate, not 

 thickened. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides rounded, surface 

 extremely closely and rather strongly punctured, the punctures 

 nearly confluent at the sides, extreme margins metallic green. 

 Elytra oblong, very strongly subgeminately punctured, the inter- 

 stices longitudinally costate near the apex, transversely rugose 

 anteriorly at the sides. Legs unarmed. 



Length 6 mm. 



Hah. Himalayas (Coll. Jacriby). 



Can be recognized by the strong elytral puncturation, the costate 

 and rugose interstices and the very closely punctured thorax. 

 Male unknown. 



892. Colaspoides melanocephala, sp. n. 



Head, thorax and underside black ; elytra metallic green ; basal 

 joints of antennae flavous. 



Head impunctate, the clypeus not separated from the face 

 except at the sides by very feeble grooves ; lab rum piceous ; palpi 

 fulvous ; antennae extending nearly to the middle of the elytra in 

 5 , basal four joints flavous, the rest black. Thorax at base twice 

 as broad as long, the sides rounded at the middle and narrowed in 

 front, surface entirely impunctate, black and shining. Scutellum 

 black. Elytra very closely and rather strongly punctured, the 

 punctures irregularly placed at the sides, with the interstices 

 transversely rugose anteriorly ( $ ) or geminate punctate-striate 

 with the interstices longitudinally costate ( $ ). Legs, especially 

 the first joint of the posterior tarsi, elongate. 



Length 5 mm. 



Hob. Southern India: Nilgiris; Travancore : Wallardi (Colls. 

 Andrewes $ Jacoby). 



(Jan be easily known by the black, entirely impunctate head and 

 thorax and the green elytra. The antennae in the male specimen 

 before me are imperfect, but the terminal joints extend probably 

 a good deal further than in the female ; the sculpture of the elytra 

 is very different in the sexes.

Black beneath, metallic green above ; the labrum, antennae and 

 legs fulvous. 



Head strongly and remotely punctured with a central longitu- 

 dinal groove ; clypeus similarly sculptured ; labrum fulvous ;
