585. Nodostoma irregulare, Jac. Mem . Sac. Ent. Bely, vii, 1900, 
p. 10-5. 
Fulvous ; terminal joints of antennas black ; elytra metallic- 
green or aeneous. 
Head closely punctured, rugose between the eyes ; clypeus not 
separated from the face, anterior edge deeply concave ; antenna) 
loug and slender, basal three or four joints fulvous, third twice as 
long as second. Thorax strongly transverse, strongly narrowed 
anteriorly, sides strongly ungulate behind the middle, anterior 
sulcus distinctly punctured; surface closely and strongly punctured 
at the sides, more remotely so in the middle. Scutellum broad, 
smooth. Elytra distinctly depressed below base, very strongly 
and closely punctate-striate, with four raised narrow spaces or 
costae. Femora with small tooth. 
Length 6 mm. 
Hub. Burma (Colls. H. E. Andrewes Jacoby). 
Quite distinct on account of the close elytral puncturation and 
smooth interstices ; at the sides the puncturation may almost be 
called irregular, the punctures are so close ; those on the thorax 
vary, however, in strength. 
586. Nodostoma waterhousei, sp. n. 
Fulvous; elytra metallic greenish-aeneous. 
Head and clypeus rugosely punctured ; antennae rather short, 
extending to base of elytra, stout, third joint but little longer than 
second, terminal joints shorter and thicker than the preceding 
joints. Thorax half as broad again as long, sides angulate im- 
mediately behind the middle, anterior sulcus narrow and entire : 
surface fulvous, with slight metallic lustre, crowded with strong 
punctures. Elytra strongly punctate-striate, very feebly depressed 
below base ; interstices longitudinally convex at sides. Legs fulvous. 
Length 4| mm. 
Ilab. India (Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
The rugosely punctured head and thorax and the close punctur- 
ation, with costate elytral interstices, distinguish this species 
from any other of similar coloration. 
587. Nodostoma occipitale, sp. n. 
Subquadrately ovate ; black ; base of head and basal joints of 
antennae more or less fulvous ; elytra metallic green or blue ; 
abdomen flavous. 
5 . Head very finely and remotely punctured, upper portion 
obscure fulvous ; clypeus not separated from the face, anterior 
edge strongly triangularly emarginate, sides angulate, surface 
with a few punctures, stronger than those on the head ; labrum 
fulvous ; antennae with the first three or four basal joints flavous, 
first basal joint piceous above, terminal joints slightly widened
