Two males and three females. The </ is so different in the 

 form of the thorax that I was at first inclined to consider it a 

 distinct species, but the hind angles appear to vary considerably 

 in this species. Although the mentum has a prominent tooth 

 in the emargination and the elytra are seriate-punctate (but on 

 the S.*"*^ interstice only), the species appears to me sufficiently 

 distinct to form a genus separate from Hypolithus. There are 

 other glabrous species, however, described as Hypolithi and I 

 hesitate to formulate new genera until the whole of them have 

 been carefully studied. H. perlucens (Bates) from Kashmir, is 

 the only described one I know belonging to the group which 

 I now propose under the name of Coleolissus. 



173. Hypolithus (Coleolissus) bicoloHpes, n. sp. 



H. lamproto affinissimus; major, thorace latius rotundato an- 

 gulisque posticis rotundatis, tibiis tarsisque piceo-rufis. Caerule- 

 scenti-niger politissimus , elytris laetissime opalescentibus , an- 

 tennis palpis femoribusque rufis. Thorax elytris baud angustior, 

 lateribus arcuatis, basi toto, lateribus et apice, dense punctulatis, 

 disco tantum laevi. Elytra profundius striata, interstitiis convexis, 

 3.^° punctulis seriatis 7-8. — Long. 10 millim. 9 .
