529. Nodostoma fabrei, Lefev. Bull. Soc. Eat. France, 1887, p. clxxv. 
Obscure cyaneous, subelongate-ovate. Head strongly punc- 
tured ; clypeus continuous with face, apex emarginate ; labrum, 
palpi and antennae fulvo-testaceous, the last extending to half the 
length of the body, terminal live joints fuscous. Thorax subcylin- 
drical, sides evenly rounded, surface strongly and remotely 
punctured. Scutellum triangular, smooth. Elytra strongly 
impressed below shoulders, strongly punctate-striate, punctures 
absent near apex. Legs elongate, brownish-testaceous or piceous ; 
femora with minute tooth. 
Length 5-51 mm. 
Hah. India: Eamnad ; Darjeeling; Mungphu ; Burma: Ruby 
Mines. 
Specimens from the last-named localities agree so closely with 
Lefevre’s description of this species that I must refer them to it ; 
the only difference is in the colour of the antennae, which in my 
specimens are black with the basal three joints testaceous. The 
general colour of the forms also varies from dark blue to greenish- 
aeneous. 
530. Nodostoma semicaeruleum, Jac. Ann. Mas. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 
1892, p. 897. 
Black beneath ; metallic dark blue above ; basal joints of 
antennae fulvous. 
Head finely and remotely punctured ; labrum fulvous : antennae 
black, slender, basal four joints fulvous, third and fourth joints 
scarcely longer than the second but more slender, following joints 
shorter and thicker. Thorax at least twice as broad as long, 
sides strongly deflexed, lateral margins subangulately rounded at 
the middle ; disc deeply and very closely punctured, especially at 
the sides, punctures round. Elytra scarcely wider at base than 
the thorax, depressed below the base, deeply punctate-striate ; inter- 
stices longitudinally costate at sides, punctures very regular ou 
the disc. 
Length 3 mm.

531. Nodostoma dubiosum, sp. n. 
Beneath black ; above metallic dark blue ; basal joints of 
antennae partly flavous. 
$ . Head remotely punctured on vertex ; clypeus more closely 
punctate, anterior edge nearly straight ; labrum piceous ; antennae 
black, basal two joints flavous beneath, third distinctly shorter 
than the fourth. Thorax half as broad again as long, scarcely 
narrowed in front, sides rounded, surface strongly and closely 
punctured. Elytra oblong, wider at base than the thorax, with
