surface rather closely punctured, the punctures shallow in the 
middle, stronger at the sides. Scutellum oblong, smooth. Elytra 
convex, not depressed below base, much more strongly punctured 
than the thorax ; punctures arranged in irregular rows on the disc, 
but very regular near apex and suture, interstices at sides below 
the shoulders slightly rugose. Prosternum broader than long, 
finely punctured. Legs rather elongate.

Hub. Manipur. Type in Brit. Mus. 
The following two species are unknown to me : — 
902. Colaspoides sublaevicollis, Duviv. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxvi, 
1892, p. 417. 
“ Entirely obscure fulvous, shining ; palpi, antennae and legs 
pale fulvous ; elytra with slight bronze reflection. 
“ Head nearly smooth, some superficial punctures between the 
eyes as well as a fine longitudinal groove; clypeus slightly longer 
than broad, separated by lateral grooves which unite in front ; 
mandibles robust, black ; antennae reaching to four-fifths the length 
of the elytra, terminal joints slightly thickened. Thorax twice as 
broad as long, lateral margins straight at base, rounded in front ; 
surface feebly convex, extremely finely and remotely punctured, a 
row of stronger punctures near the basal margin. Scutellum 
somewhat rounded, smooth. Elytra rounded at their apices, very 
feebly depressed within the shoulders, basal portion without a 
depression, puncturation rather strong and regular, arranged on 
the anterior half in double rows, interstices on the anterior half 
flat, posterior half punctured in single rows with the interstices 
convex, the two rows of punctures nearest the suture more strongly 
marked than the others. Anterior rather strongly, posterior 
femora more feebly, dentate ; intermediate femora unarmed. 
“ Length 6 mm. 
“ Hah. Sikhim : Kurseong.” ( Duvivier .) 
The author says that this species is very closely allied to 
C.inornata, Baly, from Penang, from which it differs in the nearly 
smooth thorax, the nearly impunctate head, the entirely fulvous 
antennae, and in the thorax being darker in colour than the elytra. 
903. Colaspoides bengalensis, Duviv. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxvi, 
1892, p. 418. 
“ Reddish-fulvous ; sides of the pro- and metasternum and the 
middle of the abdomen greenish -aeneous ; legs reddish-fulvous 
with aeneous gloss, apices of the tibiae and of the tarsi blackish ; 
underside greenish-bronze.
