This species quite differs from most of its allies in the shape of 

 the thorax which is not transverse as is usually the case, giving the 

 insect somewhat the appearance of a Corynodes, but I do not see 

 any structural diâerences of importance to separate the species 

 from Colaspoides. 



Cleorina philippinensis n. sp. — Black, the basai joints of 

 the ayitennœ fulvous, thorax remotely jnmctured at the dise, con- 

 fluently strigose at the sides; elytra hluish^hlack, strongly punctured at 

 the hase, very finely so posteriorly, the interstices flat. — Length, 

 3 mill. 



Rounded and convex, the head strongly but remotely punctured, 

 bluish or greenish, the clypeus wedge shaped, very finely punctured. 

 not separated from the face, antennse extending beyond the middle 

 of the elytra, black, the lower five joints fulvous; thorax more Ihan 

 twice as broad as long, the sides straight, narrowed towards the 

 apex, the surface with a narrow transverse groove near the anterior 

 margin, remotely but rather strongly punctured at the dise, the 

 sides near the base longitudinally strigose; elytra slightly wider at 

 the base than the thorax, deeply transversely depressed below the 

 base, the dépression strongly punctured, the rest of the surface very 

 finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat and impunctate, bluish 

 or black; underside and legs black, the prosternum rugose, the 

 abdomen finely punctured. 



Hah. Philippine Islands. 



Closely allied to C. morosa Lefèv. from the same locality but the 

 Interstices of the elytra not costate except the outer one and the 

 tarsi black, the sides of the thorax also is not arcuate but straight. 



Corynodes dîscoidalis n. sp. — Fulvous, the apical joints of 

 the antennœ hlack, thorax strongly and remotely punctured, elytra 

 distantly punctate-striate ^ fulvous, a broad suturai band, narrowed 

 posteriorly, metallic green. — Length, 5 mill. 



Head rather strongly and closely punctured at the lower portion, 

 fulvous, clypeus distinctly separated from the face, wedge shaped, 

 closely punctured, antennse black, the lower five joints fulvous, the 

 terminal five joints broadly flattened and dilated; thorax sub- 

 cylindrical, the sides nearly straight, the angles acutely produced, 

 the surface strongly but remotely punctured, fulvous; scutellum 

 fulvous; elytra very feebly depressed below the base, finely 

 punctate-striate near the suture, the sides more strongly punctured ; 

 the latter fulvous, the suturai portion in shape of a broad, 

 posteriorly narrowed band and the extrême latéral margins metallic 

 green, underside and legs fulvous, claws appendiculate.
