782. Colasposoma transversicolle, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxvii, 
1889, p. 176. 
Metallic green or blue ; basal joints of antenme (first excepted) 
fulvous, rest black. 
d . Head longitudinally strigose at the vertex, strongly and 
moderately closely punctured on the lower portion, the space 
between the eyes with a small depression ; the anterior margins 
of the clypeus deeply concave-emargiuate ; Jabrum fulvo-piceous ; 
mandibles metallic green; antennae filiform, slender, piceous or 
black, the basal joint metallic green, the following three joints 
fulvous. Thorax strongly transverse, the lateral margins strongly 
widened at the base, from there to the apex greatly and rather 
suddenly narrowed ; the surface punctured like the head, more 
finely and very closely near the anterior margin along which 
are placed one or several rows of smaller punctures ; the disc 
rather swollen. Scutellum not longer than broad, punctured 
at the base. Elytra with a shallow transverse depression below 
the base, rather closely and regularly punctured near the suture 
where the punctures are arranged in rows, the rest of the surface 
near the sides deeply and irregularly punctate, the interstices 
strongly transversely rugose, the apex finely punctured and 
without rugosities. Beneath and the legs metallic dark green; 
abdomen and the tarsi nearly black. 
Length 5-5 k mm.

783. Colasposoma multipunctatum, Jac. Ann. Mas. Civ. Genova, 
xxvii, 1889, p, 177. 
Metallic greenish or purplish ; basal joints of antennae and 
labrum fulvous. 
Head closely, finely and evenly punctured, the vertex with 
a more or less distinct longitudinal groove ; the clypeus not 
separated from the face ; labrum fulvous ; mandibles cupreous ; 
antennae fulvous, with the terminal joints slightly dilated, the 
apical four or five joints fuscous. Thorax twice as broad as 
long ( d ), nearly three times as broad as long ( $ ), the lateral 
margin rounded at the base, rather suddenly narrowed towards 
the apex, the surface transversely convex, with a very obscure 
anterior transverse depression ; the disc light cupreous, the 
extreme lateral margins metallic green, crowded with small 
punctures which are still more closely placed at the sides, the 
middle of the disc with a very narrow longitudinal smooth line. 
Scutellum as broad as long, impunctate. Elytra slightly trans- 
versely depressed below the base, more strongly and not quite
