891 . Colaspoides subrugosa, sp. n. (PI. II, fig. 14). 
$ . Dark aeneous, with slight cupreous gloss ; antennae and legs 
more or less piceous. 
Head cupreous or greenish, vertex remotely, anterior portion 
closely and strongly punctured ; antennae slender, basal five joints 
fulvous, rest piceous, third and following joints very elongate, not 
thickened. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides rounded, surface 
extremely closely and rather strongly punctured, the punctures 
nearly confluent at the sides, extreme margins metallic green. 
Elytra oblong, very strongly subgeminately punctured, the inter- 
stices longitudinally costate near the apex, transversely rugose 
anteriorly at the sides. Legs unarmed. 
Length 6 mm. 
Hob. Himalayas (Coll. Jacoby). 
Can be recognized by the strong elytral puncturation, the costate 
and rugose interstices and the very closely punctured thorax. 
Male unknown. 
892. Colaspoides melanocephala, sp. n. 
Head, thorax and underside black ; elytra metallic green ; basal 
joints of antennae flavous. 
Head impunctate, the clypeus not separated from the face 
except at the sides by very feeble grooves ; labrum piceous ; palpi 
fulvous ; antennae extending nearly to the middle of the elytra in 
5 , basal four joints flavous, the rest black. Thorax at base twice 
as broad as long, the sides rounded at the middle and narrowed iu 
front, surface entirely impunctate, black and shining. Scutellum 
black. Elytra very closely and rather strongly punctured, the 
punctures irregularly placed at the sides, with the interstices 
transversely rugose anteriorly ( ) or geminate punctate-striate 
with the interstices longitudinally costate ( $ ). Legs, especially 
the first joint of the posterior tarsi, elongate. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hah. Southern India : jN ilgiris ; Travancore : Wallardi (Colls. 
Andrewes Sf Jacoby). 
Can be easily known by the black, entirely impunctate head and 
thorax and the green elytra. The antennae in the male specimen 
before me are imperfect, but the terminal joints extend probably 
a good deal further than in the female ; the sculpture of the elytra 
is very different in the sexes.
