PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BDRMAH 179 



thickened terminal joints of the antennae and the thickly pube- 

 scent prosternum ; the general colour of the species is dark 

 bronze. 



57. Colasposoma 13o'wiiesi, Baly. 



Thagatà. A single specimen. 



58. Cola.si>osoiiia ig-neicolle, Baly. 



Specimens from Meetan and Thagatà in Tenasserim. 



Var. Entirely metallic blue. 



M.^ Baly's description of this species was drawn from female 

 specimens , the types of which I have compared ; in the male 

 the thorax is much more transversely shaped extending exactly 

 to the sides of the elytra ; the bright aureous colour of the 

 head and thorax in the type, the close and fine punctuation of 

 the latter and the blue elytra , well distinguish this species 

 from its many congeners ; in the variety which I cannot sepa- 

 rate from the type , the head and thorax are entirely metallic 

 blue ; the antenniB in all have the 5 or 6 basal joints fulvous, 

 the first metallic blue above, the rest black and filiform, not 

 thickened. 



59. Oola-i^posoma, ooemleatuin. , Baly. 



Burmah: Mount Hcanlain, Bhamò, May, June, July, August. 

 Meetan in Tenasserim, April. 



The description of this species was drawn from female spe- 

 cimens obtained at Assam the type of which I have compared 

 and which agree entirely with those obtained at Burmah ; the 

 general colour of tjiis species is a dark blue or blackish-blue , 

 sometimes violet ; the labrum and the antennae are black , the 

 liead and thorax are very closely punctured ; in the male the 

 rugosities at the sides of the elytra are almost entirely absent.
