Helot a verrucosa^ n. sp. cf. 



Allied to and resembling Helota tkibetana Westw. {Mellii 

 Westw.) of which the type-specimen , a female from Sim- 

 lah , is before me. The nevs^ species differs, however, be- 

 sides by the sexual characters , by the finer and closer 

 punctuation on the elytra which agrees with that of the 

 head and pronotum ') , by the more acutely crenulate la- 

 teral margins of the prothorax, and by the more strongly 

 raised warts or tubercles on pronotum and elytra; on the 

 elytra these warts are more irregularly placed in the new 

 species than in thihetana where they are arranged in distinct 

 rows ; finally , in thihetana the sutural interstice is smooth 

 and separated from the disk of the elytra by a row of 

 deeply impressed punctures , whereas in verrucosa the su- 

 tural interstice is sculptured and separated from the disk 

 by a very fine impressed line. 



Length OVa mm. — Above finely rugose in consequence 

 of a very dense punctuation but provided with irregularly 

 placed glossy warts or tubercles of different size and shape. 

 The colour of the upper surface is coppery bronze (the 



1) In thihetana the punctures on the elytra are slightly larger than those 

 on the head and pronotum, and along the middle somewhat wider apart.
