fine punctures at the sides, piceous; scutellum broad, fulvous; 

 elytra not wider at the base than the thorax, convex, without 

 dépression below the base, strongly and closely punctured in 

 regular rows, a broad transverse band at the base and a large sub- 

 triangular patch below the middle, fulvous, this colour divided by 

 narrow piceous bands at the middle and at the suture. 



Hah. Kina Balu, Bornéo. 



This is evidently a very variable species of which I hâve taken 

 the spotted form as the type; the insect is closely allied to C, quadri- 

 partita Baly from Singapore but differs in the nearly impunctate 

 clypeus and similarly sculptured thorax, the former in the allied 

 species is deeply punctured and the thorax finely so. 



Colaspoides borneoensis n. sp. — MetalUc dark hlue, the 

 lahrum and the basai joints of the antennœ fulvous^ thorax closely 

 impressed with elongate punctures, elytra rather strongly punctured 

 in closely approached rows, anterior and posterior femora toothed. — 

 Length, 7 mill. 



Head impunctate at the vertex, metallic blue, the clypeus distinctly 

 separated from the face, transverse, finely punctured at the base, 

 its anterior edge moderately concave, labrum fulvous, palpi flavous, 

 antennae slender, extending beyond the middle of the elytra, black, 

 the lower five joints fulvous; thorax twice as broad as long, the 

 sides strongly rounded, the anterior margin much shorter than the 

 posterior one, the angles acutely produced forwards, the surface 

 closely and rather strongly impressed with elongate punctures 

 extending to ail the margins, the colour blackish blue; elytra 

 convex, broad, of lighter blue colour than the thorax, strongly 

 punctured in closely approached rows, the apical portion near the 

 ^suture more distantly and finely punctured; underside and legs 

 bluish with a more or less fulvous tint; the anterior and posterior 

 femora armed with a distinct tooth. 



Hah. Sarawak, Bornéo. 



Closely allied to C. rohusta Baly from the same locality but diffe- 

 ring in the impunctate head the séparation of the epistome from 

 the face and the dentale femora. 



Colaspoides Fruhstorferi n. sp. — Metallic green, the 

 antennœ (the basai joint exceptedj dark hlue, thorax remotely and 

 distinctly punctured, elytra strongly and closely punctate-striate near 

 the suture, ail the interstices at the sides to the apex transversely 

 convex. — Length, 7 mill. 



Head rather strongly and remotely punctured, with some oblique 

 strigse above the eyes, the clypeus separated from the face trans- 

 versely subquadrate, strongly punctured, its anterior margin
