518 CHBYBOMELID/E. 



longitudinal impressed groove ; clypeus separated from the face, 

 strongly punctured ; labrum fulvous ; antennae fulvous, nearly as 

 long as the body, the apical three joints black. Thorax twice as 

 broad as long, strongly narrowed in front, the sides very slightly 

 rounded, the surface rather closely and finely punctured, the punc- 

 tures at the sides rather more closely placed and of elongate shape. 

 Elytra strongly convex, without basal depression, asneous or pale 

 cupreous ; the punctures strong and arranged in numerous and 

 close longitudinal rows, those at the sides larger, the interstices 

 transversely wrinkled, those near the apex longitudinally costate. 

 Legs piceous ; femora unarmed ; the tarsi fulvous. 



Length 4-5 mm.

Closely allied to C. rafflesi, Baly, but the puncturation in the 

 present species much finer and more closely placed, the interstices 

 less swollen.

Colaspoides igneicollis, Jac. (nee Lefevre) Ann. MHS. Civ. Genova, 

 xxvii, 1889, p. 185. 



Obscure piceous, stained with metallic blue beneath; bright 

 reddish-cupreous above ; labrum and antenna fulvous. 



Head metallic green, finely and very remotely punctured, the 

 vertex with a deep longitudinal central groove ; clypeus separated 

 from the face, more coarsely punctured; labrum fulvous; antennae 

 nearly as long as the body, entirely fulvous, the third and following 

 joints very elongate and slender. Thorax twice as broad as long, 

 the sides nearly straight, narrowed towards the front, the anterior 

 angles acute ; the surface remotely and finely punctured, golden 

 cupreous, the lateral margin narrowly metallic blue. Scutellum 

 metallic blue, broader than long. Elytra reddish-cupreous, convex, 

 nearly parallel-sided, with a rather distinct but short transverse 

 depression below the base, coarsely and closely punctured, the 

 punctures arranged in striae near the suture, the interstices trans- 

 versely rugose at the sides, the lateral margin narrowly metallic 

 blue. Underside fulvo-piceous ; the legs violaceous, tarsi nearlv 

 black. 



Length 5 mm.

This species is closely allied to O. speciosa, Lefev. (Notes Leyd. 

 Mus. ix.), but is much smaller and the thorax instead of being 

 three times as broad as long is only twice as broad ; the femora 

 are without teeth ; in C. spedosa they are dentate.

" Greenish-cupreous; epipleurae posteriorly violaceous; antennas, 

 underside and legs testaceous.
