Lef^vre says. The punctures, although closely placed, are 

 everywhere separated. 



Colasposoma scutellare, Lef^v. Zoutpansberg. 



I refer a specimen of cupreous and anotiier of metallic green 

 upper surface to this species; Lef^vre''s totally insufficient 

 description applies equally well to dozens of other species, and 

 no sex is mentioned. Jn my specimens the colour of the 

 upper surface is rather opaque and silky ; the thorax in the 

 male insect is broad, with strongly rounded sides, finely and 

 rather closely but irregularly punctured, in the green-coloured 

 specimens narrowly margined with cupreous, like the sides 

 and aj)ex of the epistome ; the scutellum is entirely of the 

 latter colour; the elytra are very finely punctured indeed, 

 except below the base, where there is a very feeble transverse 

 depression, and of the same colour as the thorax, of silky 

 appearance ; the underside and legs are entirely cupreous : a 

 variety is of opaque reddish- cupreous colour above and 

 below. I also possess this species from Delagoa Bay. It 

 remains, however, doubtful whether the determination is 

 correct, although it fairly agrees with the description.

P seudocolaspis halyporphyrea, Marsh. Barberton. 



A single specimen with dark blue elytra, the latter with a 

 bright cupreous transverse basal band and a similarly coloured 

 elongate patch below the middle, but agreeing in all other 

 respects with the typical form.
