moderately concave, labrum piceous, palpi dark fulvous, antennae 

 extending to the middle of the elytra, dark blue, the basai joint 

 metallic green, the third and fourth joint equal; thorax more than 

 twice as broad as long, the sides strongly rounded, not much nar- 

 rowed in front, the anterior margin only about one third shorter 

 than the posterior one, the angles acute but not produced, the sur- 

 face strongly and remotely punctured, the interstices very finely 

 and sparingly punctate, scutellum subquadrate, more or less 

 cupreous, impunctate; elytra scarcely wider at the base than the 

 thorax, not depressed below the base, much more strongly punc- 

 tured than the thorax, the punctures arranged in closely approached 

 rows near the suture, the interstices at the entire outer half down to 

 the apex strongly transversely convex and deeply and irregularly 

 punctured, the underside and legs metallic green with a more or less 

 brassy reflection, tarsi dark bluish, prosternum closely punctured. 

 Closely allied to C. malayanus Jac. as well as to G. Laportei Baly 

 and C. cognata Baly but difïering from either in the dark blue 

 antennse which hâve no fulvous basai joints and the différent 

 sculpturing of the elytra which hâve the interstices of their entire 

 outer half transversely convex only, the inner portion being regu- 

 larly punctured. I received four spécimens, apparently ail females, 

 from Mr. Fruhstorfer. 



Colaspoides angusticollis n. sp. — Metallic green ahove,

 the thorax, very finely punctate striate, — Length, 8 mill. 



Head strongly but not closely punctured, except at the sides 

 where the punctures are of elongate shape, the middle with a 

 narrow groove, clypeus not separated from the face, strongly 

 punctured, labrum black, palpi fulvous, the last joint piceous, 

 antennse extending to the middle of the elytra, black, with a bluish 

 gloss, the lower two joints piceous, terminal joints rather flattened ; 

 thorax subquadrate, about one half broader than long, the sides 

 slightly rounded, the anterior angles produced forward and 

 pointed, the surface punctured like the head, the punctures more 

 closely placed at the sides than at the dise, the interstices also very

 punctate- striate, the interstices hère and there aciculate, the sides
