OODES (SiMOUs) BORNEENSIS. 



U. aeneo {Laferte) "proxime affinis, sed differt corpore angustiore 



supra multo minus polito, prceterea colore violaceo vel viridi-cya- 



neoetc. Anguste elongato-oblongus ; palpis, antennis tarsisque 



(vel pedibus totis) picescenti-rufis : thorace post medium latiore, 



antice valde angustato, supra Icevi, puncto setifero ad angulum 



posticum : elytris tenuiter sed acute crenulato-striatis, margins 



ante apicem sat fortiter sinuato, interstitiis planis, 3'° lotige 



post medium unipunctato : subtus niger, nitidus. Long. 15-16 



millim. c? $ • 



Two examples. Found also in South-eastern Borneo. The genus 



Simons was separated from Oodes by Chaudoir chiefly on account of 



the extremely short six-punctate labrum and the setiferous puncture 



close to the hind angles of the thorax. It forms a perfectly natural 



group, of which five species are now known, peculiar to Indo-China 



and the neighbouring islands. 



COLPODES FRYI. 



Species magna elongataque C. parallelo (Chaud.) affinis. Valde 



elongatus relative angustus, eli/tris lateribus parum rotundatis ; 



nigro-ceneus, elytris Icetius cuprascenti-csneis : capite pone oculos 



gradatim recte angustato, collo supra transversim depresso: thorace 



suhquadrato, capite paullo angustiore, lateribus pauUo ante medium 



leviter rotundatis versus basin sinuatis, angulis post ids obtusis, 



margine anguste explanato-reflexo : elytris simpliciter acute 



striatis, interstitiis usque ad apicem p/anis, 3'° punctis magnis 



tribus, versus apicem oblique sinuatis, juxta suturam breviter 



sinuato -truncatis et utrinque bidentatis : tarsis robustis, subtus 



dense pilosis, 4 posterioribus supra valde bisulcatis medioque cari- 



natis, articulo 4'° extus lobato. Palpi, antennae et pedes rufes- 



centi-picei. Long. \ 7 millim. §. 



One (female) example. The species belongs to the numerous group 



of the genus distributed through South-eastern Asia and its islands, 



in which the metathoracic epimera are long and narrow, the fourth 



joint of the hinder tarsi strongly unilobular, and the sutural apex of 



the elytra briefly truncated and more or less spiued or toothed.
