Col'TOSOMA SUBCUUdATA. 



Pallide flava, nigro aut fusco punctata ; caput niargine poslico nigro ; 

 thorax fascia antica utrinque atlenuata et angulala, linea posteriore 

 transversa abbrcviata margineque postico nigrfa ; scutcllum linea 

 longiludinali fasciisque duabus impunctalis, fascia la basali postice 

 nigro marginata ; pectus et venter nigra, hujus lalera Jlavo slrigala. 

 Var. (i. — Thorax et scutcllum nigro ptagiata. 



Pale yellow, shining, minutely punctured ; punctures black or brown ; 

 a little longer than broad. Head black about the hind border ; sutures of 

 the lobes brownish. Eyes red. Thorax with a broad impunctate space 

 adjoining the fore border, separated from the punctured part by an 

 abbreviated transverse black line, and including a black band which is 

 angular and more slender at each end; an impunctate longitudinal line 

 between the black line and the narrowly black hind border. Scutellum less 

 thickly punctured about the tip, which is emarginate; a longitudinal 

 impunctate line and two narrow impunctate bauds; first band basal, 

 bordered on the hind side by an abbreviated transverse black line ; second 

 at rather beyond the middle, slightly curved hind ward, abbreviated at each 

 end. Pectus and under side of abdomen black, the latter with transverse 

 yellow streaks on each side. Fore wings cinereous; veins brown. Var.fi. — 

 A black patch on the thorax and another on the scutellum, both intersected 

 by a longitudinal pale line. Length of the body lj line. 



Nearest to C. transversa, from whicli it may be distinguished by its 

 smaller size and by the markings on the scutellum.

COPTOSOMA STRENUA. 



Pallide lutea, nigro punctata ; caput maculis duabus posticis nigris 

 angulaiis ; thorax lineola longiludinali antica, fascia tenui abbreviala 

 undulata, linea transversa posteriore margineque postico nigris; 

 scutellum fascia basali glabra abbrcviata nigro marginata ; pectus 

 ventrisque discus nigra. 



Pale luteous, shining, minutely black-punctured, a little longer than 

 broad. Head with two triangular black spots on the hind border contiguous 

 to the middle lobe, which has brownish sutures between it and the lateral 

 lobes. Thorax narrowly black along the hind border and with a narrow 

 transverse black line ; space between the latter and the fore border 

 impunctate, including a longitudinal black line and an undulating abbre- 

 viated transverse black line. Scutellum slightly notched at the tip, with 

 an abbreviated impunctate black-bordered band at the base. Pectus and 

 disk of the under side of the abdomen black. Length of the body 

 1} line. 



Very nearly allied to C. consobrina, from which it may especially be 

 distinguished by the black stripe on the hinder part of the thorax, and by 

 the markings at the base of the sculellutn.
