formed somewhat as in sequinoctialis but with anterior 
angles much less prominent ; base truncate at middle, 
rounded-oblique at sides, 1/10 or slightly more wider than 
apex; sides moderately, somewhat irregularly arcuate an- 
teriorly, briefly sinuate before posterior angles, which are 
right or slightly obtuse, very narrowly blunted; explanate 
margins rather narrow, each with 2 setae ; base finely mar- 
gined, apex rather indistinctly so; disk convex, with usual 
fine middle line and poorly defined transverse impressions ; 
basal foveae rather deep, round, only vaguely prolonged 
anteriorly, impunctate; Elytra considerably (not quite 
2/3) wider than prothorax, of moderate length, shorter and 
with base more narrowed than in sequinoctialis , and with 
humeri more broadly rounded, though not entirely oblit- 
erated ; sides moderately sinuate before apices, which are 
rather narrowly independently rounded, sometimes vaguely 
subangulate; striae fine, shallow, finely irregular and in- 
terrupted ; intervals flat or slightly convex, 3rd 3-punctate. 
Metepisterna with outer edges a little more than % longer 
than anterior edges, distinctly shorter than in sequinoctialis , 
although both species are winged ; lower surface im- 
punctate. Tibiae not sulcate on outer edge; hind tarsi sul- 
cate each side above, sulci not closely approximate although 
tarsi are slender, 4th joint rather deeply emarginate, outer 
lobe much longer than inner; front tarsi more or less 
indistinctly sulcate above (these characters as in sequinoc- 
tialis , but all sulci less impressed in altifluminis) . Length 
11-11.5; width 3. 8-4.0 mm.

Colpodes latelytra n. sp. 
Form about as in C. chalybeus Dej., but elytra relatively
