COLASPOIDES. 5 1 9 



" Thorax narrowed anteriorly, rather densely punctured on the 

 sides. Elytra strongly and anteriorly irregularly punctured, sub- 

 sulcate posteriorly, apices nearly smooth. Anterior femora with 

 a short, acute tooth, intermediate femora unarmed, posterior 

 femora with a large curved tooth, acute at apex. Third joint of 

 antennae slightly shorter than fourth. 



" Length 4 mm.

"Whether this species, of which the above description is all that 

 the author has given, is rightly placed in Colaspoides where 

 Lefevre placed it, can only be " settled by an examination of 

 the type. 



900. Colaspoides dohertyi, sp. n. 



Beneath piceous ; antennas and legs fulvous ; above fulvous 

 with a strong, metallic, aeneous gloss. 



c? . Elongate. Head finely and rather remotely punctured on the 

 vertex ; clypeus not separated from the face, rather more stronglv 

 punctured ; eyes large ; labrum fulvous ; antennae reaching to 

 some little distance from apex, third and following joints elongate, 

 nearly equal, last two joints slightly widened. Thorax half as 

 broad again as long, of equal width, not narrowed anteriorly, 

 lateral margins feebly rounded, surface rather closely and finely 

 punctured, punctures shallow. Elytra parallel-sided, elongate, 

 pointed at apex, much more strongly punctured than the thorax, 

 punctures arranged in very close, rather regular rows ; interstices 

 finely transversely wrinkled except near the suture, slightly longi- 

 tudinally costate near the apex. Legs and tarsi rather elongate ; 

 anterior femora dilated into a small tooth beneath. 



$ . With a more transverse thorax and shorter antennae, but 

 otherwise similar. 



Letigth 3;y mm. 



Hab. Assam : Patkai Mts. Type in Brit. Mus. 



Principally distinguished by the partly fulvous and partly 

 metallic coloration, the dentate anterior femora and generally 

 small size. 



901. Colaspoides fulvimana, sp. n. 



Beneath black, above metallic blue ; labrum, basal joints of 

 antennae and tarsi fulvous. 



Oblong-ovate. Head finely and very remotely punctured, with 

 a deep central longitudinal groove ; clypeus rugosely punctured, 

 depressed, sides of face deeply obliquely grooved ; antennae long 

 and slender, extending beyond middle of elytra, basal three or four 

 joints fulvous, rest black, third and following joints very elongate 

 and nearly equal. Thorax twice as broad as long, narrowed in 

 front, lateral margins slightly rounded, somewhat deeply punctured;
