Darjeeling, NepauL Elytra! spots, 2, 2, 2, 1, ochreous on dark 

 ground; epipleurse black. 



This aud the following three species agree in certain structural 

 characters; their dark ground colour with pale spots; and with 

 the ten subsequent Indian species in their long antenna? aud hori- 

 zontal narrow epipleurse. 



Epilachna Pembertoni,* sp. n. 



Black, head and legs red; thorax with the anterior angles 

 and under surface red; elytra each with six fulvous spots, one 

 basal, not touching the scutellum, two at one-third (one sub- 

 marginal, one larger juxta-sutural, both free), two at two-thirds 

 (the outer obliqxie, both free), one subtriangular, apical, and ex- 

 tending up the suture. L. 3 lin. Bhootan (Ind. Mus.) collected by 

 Capt. Pemberton. 



Epilachna gibbera, sp. n. 



Ejnlachna gibbera, Deyr. MSS. 



Oval, slightly cordate, black ; head, legs, (except the base of the 

 posterior femora), last ventral segment, and the sides of the thorax 

 broadly red; elytra with the epipleurae red and each with seven 

 red spots, 1, 3, 2, 1 ; one oblique near the saitellum, one close to 

 the margin at one-third, two joined in a sort of circumflex, medial, 

 two placed obliquely at three-fourths, one apical. L. 3 lin. India 

 (Deyrolle). 



Much more convex than the preceding, the spots also are red, 

 and differently shaped. 



Epilachna parvula, sp. n. 



Oval, black; head, sides and base of thorax, legs, and last 

 ventral segment yellowish red; elytra each with the epipleura? and 

 five spots yellowish, 2, 2, 1; the spots rounded, not large, two 

 transversely placed at one-third, two at two-thirds, aud one larger 

 subapical. L. 2 lin. India (Deyrolle). 



Epilachna fasciolata, sp. n. 



Oval, convex, black; head, sides of thorax, logs, and three last 

 segments reddish yellow; elytra with the external margin, epi- 

 pleurse, and each with five spots yellowish red ; one basal, one 

 narrow, transverse, before the middle, one similar beyond the 

 middle, the marginal band dilated at the apex. L. 2. 1 . lin. India 

 (Deyrolle). 



The large punctures on the elytra arc more evident in this 

 species.
