Chaucloir (Ann. Erance, 1864, p. 519) compares it with Colitis tuberculata (alsoa Malaccan species) with which it has very little in common, thelatter being a dark cyaneous-blue species with the dilated portionof the pronotum much more cylindrical and angled, and the elytrastrongly and closely punctured throughout, with strong elongatepunctuation before apex. The variability of the pronotum in someof the species belonging to this section makes them hard Neocolh/vis apicalis. 45. Neocollyris foveifrons, W. Horn. Neocollyris foveifrons, W.
