surface rather closely punctured, the punctures shallow in the 

 middle, stronger at the sides. Scutellum oblong, smooth. Elytra 

 convex, not depressed below base, much more strongly punctured 

 than the thorax ; punctures arranged in irregular rows on the disc. 

 but very regular near apex and suture, interstices at sides below 

 the shoulders slightly rugose. Prosternum broader than long, 

 finely punctured. Legs rather elongate. 



Length 2^ mm. 



Hob. Manipur. Type in Brit. Mus. 



The following two species are unknown to me : 



902. Colaspoides sublsevicollis, Duma. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxvi, 

 1892, p. 417. 



"Entirely obscure fulvous, shining; palpi, antennae and legs 

 pale fulvous ; elytra with slight bronze reflection. 



" Head nearly smooth, some superficial punctures between the 

 eyes as well as a fine longitudinal groove ; clypeus slightly longer 

 than broad, separated by lateral grooves which unite in front ; 

 mandibles robust, black ; antennae reaching to four-fifths the length 

 of the elytra, terminal joints slightly thickened. Thorax twice as 

 broad as long, lateral margins straight at base, rounded in front ; 

 surface feebly convex, extremely finely and remotely punctured, a 

 row of stronger punctures near the basal margin. Scutellum 

 somewhat rounded, smooth. Elytra rounded at their apices, very 

 feebly depressed within the shoulders, basal portion without a 

 depression, puncturation rather strong and regular, arranged on 

 the anterior half in double rows, interstices on the anterior half 

 flat, posterior half punctured in single rows with the interstices 

 convex, the two rows of punctures nearest the suture more strongly 

 marked than the others. Anterior rather strongly, posterior 

 femora more feebly, dentate ; intermediate femora unarmed. 



" Length (5 mm. 



" Hob. Sikhim : Kurseong." (Duvivier.) 



The author says that this species is very closely allied to 

 C. inornata, Baly, from Penang, from which it differs in the nearly 

 smooth thorax, the nearly impunctate head, the entirely fulvous 

 antenna?, and in the thorax being darker in colour than the elytra. 



903. Colaspoides bengalensis, Duviv. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxvi, 

 1892, p. 418. 



" Eeddish-fulvous ; sides of the pro- and metasternum and the 

 middle of the abdomen greenish -aneous; legs reddish-fulvous 

 with a3neous gloss, apices of the tibiaB and of the tarsi blackish ; 

 underside greenish-bronze.
