118 NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN PHYTOPHAGA 



the structural characters of Chrysochus, except in the shape of the 

 thorax which is not so convex and rounded at the sides as is the 

 case with the other species of the genus; it is also the only one 

 having a pubescent thorax and elytra. A single specimen in my 

 collection. 



GHRYSOMELIN^ 



CHRYSOMELA FULVOJENEA n. sp. 



Apterous, obscure fulvous with seneous gloss, sides of the thorax 

 deeply punctured but not raised, the disc nearly Impunctate, elytra 

 moderately convex with nine rows of deep punctures, rather irre- 

 gularly placed and arranged in pairs, below and the legs fulvo- 

 seneous. 



Length 7 mill. 



Head aeneous, not perceptibly punctured, antennse rather short, 

 dark aeneous, the terminal five joints thickened, thorax more than 

 twice as broad as long, the sides straight at the base, rounded ante- 

 riorly, the anterior angles rather obtuse, the anterior margin deeply 

 concave, the disc with a few fine scattered punctures, the sides 

 very deeply and partly confluently punctate, the punctures extending 

 close to the margins, the latter not thickened, scutellum smooth, 

 ovate, elytra evenly convex, obscure fulvous with a strong metallic 

 aeneous lustre, the first row of punctures fine, placed close to the 

 suture and consisting of a single row excepting near the scutellum 

 where another short row of punctures is placed, the following rows 

 doubled and increasing in size at the sides, the space between the 

 last row of punctures and the margins, impunctate and smooth, 

 elytral epipleurae broad and smooth, abdomen pale fulvous with a 

 greenish metallic gloss. 



Hab. Poonah, India. (My collection.) 



C. fulvocenea ressembles somewhit C. templetoni Baly in colour 

 but is of much less convex shape and the ihoi'ax is without raised 

 lateral margins, which is one of the principal characters of distinc- 

 tion in this species. 



CHRYSOMELA MADRAS.^ n. sp. 



Winged, very convex, aeneous, thorax strongly transverse, the 

 sides variolose, not thickened, elytra with four double rows of deep 

 punctures, those near the suture much smaller. 



Length 7 mill.
