QQ. Astycus sylhetensis, sp. nov. 



Colour black, with rather thin metallic green scaling ( cJ ) or 

 with grey scaling, sometimes having a metallic reflexion ( $ ), the 

 granules on the prothorax and elytra black and bare. 



Closely allied to A. dorice, Fst., but the upper part of the fore- 

 head is granulate; the prothorax has the sides more strongly 

 rounded, the granules being of the same size but more closely 

 placed, and there is no trace of a central furrow; the elytra are 

 evidently shorter in proportion to their breadth and more broadly 

 rounded posteriorly than in dori'i' ; the femora are black and 

 much more densely clothed with scaling ; the green scaling is less 

 metallic and lacks the blue tinge of do7-ice. The anal segment of 

 the 5 is only slightly compressed at the apex, being similar to 

 that of A. lateralis, i\, but much shorter.
