NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN PHYTOPHAGA IH 



striae near the apex, the punctuation at the sides below the shoul- 

 ders more irregularly placed, anterior femora with a strong tooth, 

 the others less strongly dentate. 



Hab. Barway, Mandar, Bengal. 



The general colour of this species is pale fulvous in all the spe- 

 cimens before me, the nearly impunctate thorax and the elytral 

 punctuation differs entirely from any of its congeners from the same 

 region. 



PSEUDOCOLA.SPIS HIMALAYENSIS n. sp. 



Metallic green, the apical joints of the antennee and the tarsi 

 blackish, legs fulvous, head and thorax minutely granulate and 

 very closely punctured, elytra more strongly and very closely semi- 

 punctate-striate, the interstices finely rugose at the base and fur- 

 nished with stiff white hairs arranged in rows. 



Length 5 mill. 



Closely allied to P. (Eubrachys) indicus Baly but differing in the 

 punctuation and longer thorax also in the entirely fulvous legs; the 

 head very closely and finely punctured, the interstices minutely 

 granulate, the vertex swollen, the middle with a longitudinal 

 groove, the anterior edge of the clypeus deeply concave emarginate, 

 labrum fulvous, the antennae extending to the base of the elytra, 

 fulvous, the apical four or five joints black, thorax transverse, the 

 middle distinctly swollen, the basal and apical portion constricted, 

 the surface transversely depressed near the anterior margin, very 

 closely and rather distinctly punctured, scutellum broad, trans- 

 verse, its apex truncate, distinctly punctured at the base, elytra 

 wider at the base than the thorax, the shoulders prominent, the 

 punctures arranged in illdefined rows, the interstices finely trans- 

 versely rugose and furnished with single white hairs, arranged in 

 rows; legs fulvous, the femora robust, with a small tooth, the pos- 

 terior ones greenish-seneous at the apex, tarsi more or less 

 black; underside metallic green, clothed with very short silvery 

 pubescence. 



Hah. Ghamba, Himalaya mountains. 



In the female, the thorax is as usual much less swollen and con- 

 stricted at the base and apex. 



CLEORINA SUTURATA n. sp. 



Below piceous, above and the legs fulvous, thorax extremely 

 finely and rather sparingly punctured, elytra strongly punctate- 

 striate, fulvous, with a sutural band, narrowed and abbreviated
