Ijeiug larger (measuring three lines), but as Ericlisou says 

 nothing auoiit the pmictuation I can only consider it a variety. 



Colaspis Haroldi, n. sj?. 



Ovate, convex, cupreous ; antennaj testaceous, joints 6-7 and 

 10-11 fuscous; thorax 3-dentate, coarsely rugose ; elytra with 

 five or six rows of interrupted costa^, the interstices transversely 

 reticulate. Length 2 lines. 



Head coarsely wrinkled; ^»alpi testaceous, their apex fuscous; 

 antenna) with the third joint longer than the fourth, and more 

 slender than the rest of the joints. Thorax transverse, widened 

 in the middle, angles acute, surface coarsely rugose and irregu- 

 larly wrinkled, sides obtusely 3-dentate, of a dark ajneous or 

 copper colour intermixed with spaces, and a longitudinal central 

 line of brassy-green. Scutellum with a metallic tint, rounded. 

 Elytra slightly depressed below the base and widened posteriorly, 

 very convex and rounded, each elytron with about six elevated 

 rows of costte, which are frequently interi'upted, the interstices 

 transversely reticulate, of the same colour as the thorax, mixed 

 with a brassy tint, but rather opacpie. Underside and legs 

 a'neous with greenish reflections. 



Although this insect bears some resemblance to a species of 

 the genus Leprovota, the angulated sides of the thorax and the; 

 colour of the antennaj show it to be a true species of C(i/(()<jiix. 

 Avhich ought to follow close to the C. Intfrrnptu, described bj- 

 von Harold in the ('oleopt. Ilefte. 



Clialcophanu gigus, u. sp. 



Oblong ovate, fulvous; antenna^, the first three joints excepted, 

 tibiEe and tarsi black. Length 5 lines. 



Head and clypeus distinctly punctate, the former impressed 

 with an oblong fovea; antenna; more than half the length of the 

 body, the three basal joints fulvous, the rest black with a bluish 

 ii'loss. Thorax short, the anterior angles produced into a distinct 

 tooth, surface si^aringly punctate, more distinctly on the disc 

 than at the sides. Elytra convex, broader than the thorax, 

 deeply punctate-striate, the stria' arranged irregularly in three 

 roAvs of punctures each, closely approached and interrupted by 

 three short raised costtv, of which the middle one only is dis- 

 tinct and commencing from the shoulder extends to a little 

 below the middle of the elytra; another distinct costa runs near
