COLASPOIDES. 517 



base ; clypeus separated from the face by an obsolete transverse 

 groove, remotely punctured, its anterior margin straight ; labrum 

 testaceous ; antennae filiform, more than half the length of the 

 body, the basal four joints testaceous, the others black. Thorax 

 at least twice as broad as long, the sides rounded in the middle, 

 narrowed in front, the anterior angles acute, slightly produced ; 

 the surface dark fulvous, remotelv impressed with rather deep 

 punctures and with a shallow transverse impression on each side. 

 Scutellum obscure fulvous. Elytra convex, parallel-sided, sub- 

 cylindrical, pale testaceous, the suture narrowly black, the surface 

 not depressed below the base, deeplv and very closely punctured, 

 the punctures arranged in somewhat regular rows. Underside 

 and legs dark fulvous. 



Length 5 mm. 



ffab. Tenasserim : Meetan. 



The pale colour of the elytra and their deep and close puncturation 

 distinguish C. pallichda from most of its allies.

Colaspoides laevicollis, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxvii, 1889, 

 p. 186 (name preocc.). 



Beneath black or piceous, above metallic green ; antennae and 

 legs flavous. 



ilead extremely finely granulate, entirely impunctate, the 

 vertex with a more or less distinct central depression or groove ; 

 clypeus wedge-shaped, separated at the sides only from the face, 

 its surface with a few small punctures, its anterior border only 

 slightly emarginate at the middle ; labrum and palpi fulvous ; 

 antennae nearly as long as the body, entirely flavous, the third 

 joint scarcely shorter than the fourth. Thorax three times as 

 broad as long, the sides nearly straight, strongly narrowed in 

 front, the anterior margin deeply concave behind the eyes, the 

 posterior angles strongly pointed, the surface entirely impunctate, 

 metallic bright green. Scutellum broad, irapunctate. Elytra 

 convex, not depressed below the base, the shoulders slightly 

 prominent, the puncturation fine and arranged in rather regular 

 but not very close rows. Legs flavous ; the anterior femora with a 

 small tooth. 



Var. Elytra purplish. 



Length 3-4 mm. 



Hob. Burma: Bhamo. 



The entirely impunctate thorax, in connection with the flavous 

 antennae and legs, separates C. glabricollis from any of its allies.
