COLASPOSOMA.

with very strongly rounded sides and a deeper transverse depres- 
sion near the middle behind the anterior margin than is generally 
found in other species. 
The male organ is strongly curved, terminating in an acute point 
preceded by an elongate shallow cavity.

p. 272. 
Dark violaceous blue or cupreous ; basal joints of antennae and 
the labrum fulvous. 
5 . Head hnely and moderately closely punctured, the punctures 
well separated ; clypeus very obsoletely separated from the face ; 
latter without tubercle or groove ; antennae with the basal six 
joints fulvous, rest black or entirely fulvous, third and following 
two joints equal, terminal joints elongate, scarcely widened. 
Thorax twice as broad as long, sides rounded ; surface strongly, 
closely and evenly punctured, but the intervals between the 
punctures much wider than the punctures, sides rather more 
closely punctate. Scutellum broader than long, distinctly punc- 
tured. Elytra with some rows of strong punctures near the 
suture only, rest of the disc occupied by two or three rows of 
acute tubercles, extending but decreasing in number towards the 
apex. Breast and legs metallic ameous, abdomen dark ; femora 
sometimes dark fulvous, unarmed. 
Length 4-5 mm.

Very closely allied to C. asperatum , but differs in the much more 
numerous elytral tubercles which in the present insect form several 
rows. It is possible, however, that this form may be only a local 
race. The male is unknown. 
Species with cupreous or purplish hands , glabrous above.

Var. obscurpfasciatum, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxix, 1895, p. 273. 
Beneath blackish, above aureo-cupreous ; margins of elytra and an 
angulate longitudinal band on the disc of latter, blue or purplish. 
d . Head very closely and rather strongly punctured, strigose 
above the eyes ; clypeus punctured like the head ; antennae black, 
basal joint metallic, third joint longer than the fourth, terminal 
joint widened. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides round; 
surface cupreous, punctured like the head, the margins more or 
less purplish-blue. Scutellum subquadrate, with a few punctures. 
Elytra very hnely and irregularly punctured near the suture, more 
strongly and less closely so at the sides, scarcely perceptibly 
depressed below base. Breast and legs dark cupreous ; abdomen 
nearly black. 
$ . Larger ; sides of elytra more strongly punctured, more dis- 
tinctly depressed and with rugose interstices below the shoulders.
