dilated. 1 borax about half as broad again as long, the anterior 
portion deflexed, the sides strongly rounded and widened towards 
the base, the surface subremotely impressed with smaller and 
tiner punctures, the sides nearly impunctate. Scutellum broader 
than long, impunctate. Elytra subcylindrical, the base convex 
with a deep transverse depression ; the entire surface very closely 
punctured, the punctures arranged in somewhat regular close 
rows ; shoulders very prominent. Legs rugosely punctured ; claws 
appendiculate. 
Length 8 mm. 
Hob. Burma : Karen nee. 
Principally distinguished by the shape of the thorax, which 
appears strongly narrowed in front when viewed from above, and 
by the close puncturation of the elytra, which is closer than in 
most species ; the punctures are of about the same size as the 
larger ones on the thorax.

Metallic green beneath ; greenish - golden or coppery above 
clothed with short grey pubescence. 
Head densely subrugosely punctured, vertex feebly raised, with 
a medial longitudinal sulcus; labrum and palpi piceous ; mandibles 
robust ; basal six joints of the antennae fulvous, rest blue-black, 
dilated. Thorax subconical, very convex, closely aeiculate-punctate. 
Scutellum smooth. Elytra strongly depressed below the base, rather 
densely subgeminate-punctate; punctures aciculate, stronger at the 
sides and within the depression. Legs short and robust ; claws 
with a short appendage at base. 
Length 7-7 k mm. 
Hob. Andaman Islands. 
Easily known by the short pubescence that clothes the upper 
side. The punctures of the elytra are similar in size to those on 
the thorax. 
875. Corynodes travancorensis, sp. u. 
Bright metallic blue : antennse purplish ; legs bright green. 
B . Head finely and remotely punctured, triangularly depressed 
at the lower portion, deeply transversely sulcate between the 
eyes, the median lobe of the front produced into a blunt point ; 
clypeus metallic green, subquadrate, coarsely punctured, depressed, 
anterior margip. with a fringe of grey pubescence; labrum green; 
mandibles and palpi nearly black ; antennae extending just beyond 
the base of the thorax, basal five joints metallic green, rest 
purplish, terminal five broadly dilated, not longer than broad. 
Thorax scarcely half as broad again as long, very moderately convex, 
lateral margins feebly rounded, anterior angles pointed ; surface
