82 EPILACHNA. 



Epilachna sanscrita, sp. n. 



Very closely allied to E. Stephemii; thorax with a discoidal 

 transverse spot black, elytra each with five black spots, 2, 2, 1 ; 

 two basal, oue on the callus, (one near the suture), two medial 

 (one submarginal, one larger near the suture), one subapical. L. 2 

 lin. India (Deyrolle). 



Epilachna maculivestis. 



Epilachna maculivestis, Muls. Op. lit. p. 123 (T). 



Oval, testaceous-red, thickly clothed with a gray pubescence ; 

 antennae elongate, thorax with a discoidal black spot (and sometimes 

 a small lateral one); elytra each with five black spots; one round, 

 near the suture at the base, one slightly oblique, emarginate by 

 the callus, one large, round, medial, near the suture, one submargi- 

 nal, a little beyond the third, one discoidal at about three-fourths. 

 L. 2£ — 3 lin. N. China, Thibet (Copenhagen, Mus. Brit.). 



Coxal laminae complete, semicircular, metasternum deeply and 

 roughly punctured, epipleuroe of the thorax deejdy punctate, with 

 a longitudinal groove. 



Epilachna flavicollis. 



Coccinella flavicollis, Thumb. Nov. Ins. Spec. i. p. 18, f. 26 

 (1781). 



Epilachna flavicolhs, Muls. Spec. p. 800. 74. 



Sarawak, Tonda, Celebes, Java, Ceylon (Wallace, Deyrolle). 



Punctuation fine and sparse, coarse punctures obsolete; epi- 

 pleurae grooved, antennae elongate. 



Epilachna incauta. 



Epilachna incauta, Muls. Spec. p. 803, 76. 



Java (Chevrolat). In some varieties the spots are tinited, 

 forming a basal and medial fascia. 



This is very close to E. flavicollis, differing in fact only by the 

 greater amount of black, so that the sutural and external spots are 

 joined to the margins. 



Epilachna Duinerili. 



Epilachna Dumerili, Muls. Spec. p. 801. 75. 



I'liilachna W-spilotai, Muls. Spec. p. 799. 73. 



Metasternum rather coarsely punctured. This species differs 

 from the preceding almost only in the more evident coarse pnnctu- 

 r.tion, and is confined to Continental India and China. Sylhet, 

 Cahar, Burmah, Biam, Tenasserim, N. Bengal, Hongkong. 



Var. /3. black, with a gray pubescence.
