444 MR. M. JACOBY ON NEW [Mar. 15, 



gitudinal short band and the clypeus metallic green. Antennse like 

 those of the preceding species. Thorax narrowly transverse, sides 

 nearly straight at the base, thence to the apex slightly rounded ; 

 surface very closely punctate near the sides, more remotely at the 

 disk, metalhc green, this colour divided by four longitudinal bands, 

 of which the two middle ones are the broadest, but do not qnite 

 touch the apex, the bands placed at nearly equal distance from each 

 other, another shorter purplish spot is placed on each side at the 

 extreme lateral margin. Scutellum depressed at its base, deeply 

 punctured. Elytra of exactly the sam.e shape and sculpture as in 

 C. gibbicolle, metallic green, each elytron with a subsutural broad 

 dark purplish band, and another lateral one, both uniting, at their 

 apex. Underside and legs aeneous, finely pubescent, anterior femora 

 with a very short tooth. 



A variety does not differ except in its uniform colour of green 

 or brownish aeneous but in certain lights traces of the darker bands 

 are also here visible. 



12. COLASPOSOMA ANTENNALE, Sp. nOV. 



Broadly ovate, convex. Metallic green or aeneous ; antennae and 

 legs fulvous, the former long, filiform ; thorax and elytra deeply 

 punctured, interstices of latter transversely rugose throughout. 



Length 3-3| lines. 



Hab. South Africa. 



Head longitudinally strigose at the vertex, closely punctured at 

 the middle ; clypeus divided from the front by a distinct transverse 

 angulate groove, closely punctured near the lower margin. Labrum 

 narrow, fulvous. Antennae as long as half the body in the male, 

 slender, all the joints elongate, the terminal ones not thickened, 

 fulvous, apex of apical joints piceous. Thorax transverse, convex, 

 rather broad, sides much rounded, angles acute, the anterior ones 

 thickened and produced into a point ; surface closely and deeply 

 punctate at the sides, less so at the disk, the middle of which is 

 partly smooth and impunctate. Scutellum rugose punctate, not 

 broader than long. Elytra oblong, convex, slightly narrowed to- 

 wards the apex, surface very closely and deeply punctate and trans- 

 versely rugose. Abdomen finely rugose, very finely pubescent. 



Specimens which I refer to the female insect have the antennae a 

 little shorter and the thorax less transverse. 



In my collection. 



To be distinguished from C. senegalense. Cast., by its denser 

 punctuation of the thorax and elytra, more elongate shape, and the 

 different antennae ; from G. chloris, Lefev., by the close transverse 

 rugosities which cover nearly the entire elytra, while C./emorale, 

 Lefev., has differently coloured legs and antennae. 



13. CoLASPOSOMA ORNATICOI.LE, Sp. nOV. 



Oblong, convex. Black ; legs, breast, and head purplish blue ; 

 thorax aureous, densely punctured ; elytra purplish, the suture 

 metallic green.
