<93. Colasposoma aureovittatum, Baly, Descript, new yen. sp. 
Phytoph. 1864, p. 14. 
Metallic green ; basal joints of antennae fulvous ; thorax with a 
transverse cupreous band ; elytra with a broad longitudinal band 
near suture and another near margins, aureo-cupreous. 
6 • Head closely and rather strongly punctured ; labrum ful- 
vous ; antennae filiform, terminal joints not thickened, basal joint 
metallic green, third and fourth equal. Thorax quite twice as 
broad as long, sides rounded, surface strongly convex, crowded 
with oblong deep punctures evenly distributed. Elytra oblong, 
very closely and rather irregularly punctured, punctures fine near 
suture, strong and more regularly arranged in rows at the sides, 
base with a very feeble depression below shoulders. 
$ . Thorax more narrowed in front ; elytra with deep trans- 
verse lateral depressions at base, sides strongly transversely rugose 
to behind the middle. 
Length 5g-6 mm. 
Hah. India ; Assam, 
Closely allied in coloration to C. ornatum , Jac., but the elytra 
are more strongly punctured and rugose, and the longitudinal 
bands are cupreous instead of purplish.

Colasposoma bifasciatum, Jac. Mem. Soc. Ent. Bely, vii, 1900, 
p. 116. 
Above metallic green, elytra with a narrow reddish-cupreous 
longitudinal band ; beneath obscure greenish-aeneous ; antennae 
and legs fulvous, knees metallic aeneous. 
<5 • Head closely and finely punctured, without strigse ; clypeus 
obsoletely separated from face, punctured like the head ; labrum 
fulvous ; antenuae slender, third and following joints very elongate, 
nearly equal, basal five fulvous, rest black. Thorax twice as 
broad as long, convex, sides rather strongly rounded near base, 
slightly narrowed towards apex, surface with similar punctura- 
tion to that on the head, but with a narrow central smooth line. 
Elytra not wider at base than the thorax, strongly and closely 
punctured, base with a scarcely perceptible depression, interstices 
closely transversely rugose at the sides extending across disc nearly 
to the middle, punctures arranged in somewhat regular rows near 
the suture ; a cupreous longitudinal band extends from base to 
within a short distance of the apex, this band gradually narrows 
and approaches towards the suture near the apex. Abdomen 
obscure cupreous ; tarsi fuscous. 
J . Thorax less strongly transverse, only feebly convex, sides 
more distinctly narrowed in front ; tibiae not dilated at apex ; legs 
more or less aeneous. 
Length 5-6 mm.
