and closely punctured throughout. Elytra oblong with feeble- 
depression below base, very strongly punctate-striate, punctures 
rather more feeble towards the apex ; a strongly raised short costa 
from the humeral callus to the margins, preceded by another 
shorter costa below the shoulders. Tarsi rather elongate. Pro- 
sternum longer than broad, surface slightly concave, sparingly 
punctured. 
Length 2 mm. 
Hab. Manipur (Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
The strong puncturation of thorax aud elytra and the two lateral 
costae on the latter separate this species from all others.

Underside, femora and tibiae black; labrum, palpi, antennae and 
tarsi fulvous ; above bluish-black ; thorax sometimes aeneous or

of eyes ; clypeus subquadrate, emarginate anteriorly ; antennae 
with slightly thickened terminal joints. Thorax transverse, sides 
rounded in front ; surface very finely punctured, punctures placed 
at equal distances ; a fine groove, partly punctured, parallel with 
basal margin. Elytra regularly rounded, narrowly margined at 
sides, feebly narrowed posteriorly, very convex, punctate-striate ; 
punctures fine, obsolete near sides and apex ; interstices very finely 
rugose.

The specimens I possess from the same locality have all the 
head and thorax obscure aeneous or cupreous, but agree fairly well 
with the author’s description of the typical form. 
508. Nodina belgaumensis, sp. n. 
Beneath black, above obscure aeneous ; antennae and tarsi fulvous. 
Head entirely impunctate; clypeus not separated from the face ;

head, colour of legs, &c.
