four joints fulvous, basal joint black above. Thorax half as broad 
again as long, rather convex ; sides strongly angulate behind 
the middle, greatly narrowed anteriorly ; anterior sulcus entire ; 
surface convex, rather strongly, evenly and closely punctured. 
Elytra oblong, wider at base than the thorax, deeply transversely 
sulcate below base, strongly punctate-striate ; stria) closely approxi- 
mate at the sides, slightly finer at apex j interstices with some 
minute punctures. Legs and breast more or less aeneous ; flanks of 
thorax finely and sparingly punctured. 
5 . Thorax twice as broad as long, puncturation partly sub- 
strigose at sides, very close ; elytral puncturation rather finer. 
Length 4-6 mm.

Differs from N. clenticolle , Jac. in having only the basal joints of 
the antennae fulvous, the rest dark ; in the much less wide thorax 
of the male and its puncturation, which is distinctly less closely 
placed. In N. denticolle the antennae are entirely fulvous and the 
thorax in both sexes is strongly transverse. 
519. Nodostoma fulvicorne, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xlviii, 1904, 
p. 387. 
Metallic green, blue or cupreous ; antennae pale fulvous ; tarsi 
piceous. 
Head remotely and moderate^ strongly punctured, obliquely 
grooved at sides of clypeus, the latter strongly punctured ; labrurn 
fulvous ; antennae with the terminal joints rather short and 
thickened. Thorax twice as broad as long, lateral margins strongly 
angulate at base, anterior margin accompanied by a deep transverse 
groove ; surface very finely and remotely punctured on the disc, 
sides confluently foveolate-punetate. Scutellum with a few r fine 
punctures. Elytra with rather deep transverse depression at base, 
finely punctate-striate, punctures still finer at the apex. Beneath 
metallic greenish or bluish. All the femora armed with a very 
minute tooth. 
Length 4 mm.

Sufficiently distinguished by the pale coloured antennae and the 
difference between the deep lateral punctures on the thorax and 
the fine punctures on the disc.

p. 899. 
Metallic green ; antennae (basal joints excepted), tibiae, tarsi and 
abdomen blackish ; elytra purplish. 
Head closely and strongly punctured throughout, interstices 
transversely rugose ; clypeus continuous with the face, anterior 
edge deeply emarginate ; labrurn fulvous ; antennae black, fili- 
form, basal four joints fulvous, apical joints in the only specimen 
known wanting. Thorax about half as broad again as long;
