CIIRYSOMELID2E. 
$ . Thorax less transverse ; antennae long and slender, terminal 
joints only slightly thickened, angles of thorax very prominent. 
Elytra with a deep depression, closely and strongly punctured, 
with indications of ridges at the sides. Tarsi purplish. 
Length 11 mm. 
Hab. Nepal. 
The thorax less convex than in most other species. C. nitens 
does not differ from C'. lateralis, the types of both of which are 
contained in the British Museum Collection. 
872. Corynodes obesus, sp. n. 
5 . Metallic cupreous or green, underside and legs dark blue. 
Short and robust. Head finely and closely punctured, with a 
deep central depression ; clypeus transverse, separated from the 
face by a deep transverse groove ; 
antennae dark blue, scarcely extending 
beyond the thorax, basal six joints 
shining, terminal five purplish, broadly 
dilated and flattened. Thorax half as 
broad again as loug, widened at the 
middle, sides rounded, surface very 
minutely and closely punctured. 
Elytra much wider than the thorax 
at base, much more strongly punc- 
tured than the latter, punctures 
arranged in double rows, interstices 
longitudinally costate, more strongly 
so at the sides ; a distinct depression 
below the base, within which the 
interstices are rugose. Claws appen- 
diculate. 
Length 5f-G mm. 
Hab. Burma ; Borneo (Colls. Brit. Mus. $ Jacoby). 
There is a single specimen labelled “ Burma ” in the British 
Museum Collection ; all other specimens known to me have come 
from Borneo, and the Indian locality seems somewhat doubtful. 
C. multicostatus , Jac., from Borneo differs by the remote and 
coarsely punctured thorax.

Hark violaceous-blue. Head strongly but not closely punctured, 
with an obscure triangular depression ; clypeus separated from 
the face by a deep transverse groove, very finely and closely 
punctured, the space at the base of the antennae shining, impunc- 
tate ; labrum greenish, edged with fulvous ; antennae violaceous- 
blue, the second joint fulvous, the terminal five joints broadly
