120 NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN PHYTOPHAGA 



PHAEDON ASSAMENSIS n. sp. 



Winged, dark blue or greenish, the head and thorax minutely 

 and closely punctured, elytra distinctly punctate-striate, the inter- 

 stices very sparingly and finely punctured, the first row of 

 punctures placed in a groove at the posterior portion of the elytra. 



Length 3 mill. 



Of oblong, nearly parallel shape, the head rather closely and 

 distinctly punctured, clypeus separated from the face by a deep 

 triangular groove, not more strongly punctured than the head, 

 antennae black, the basal joints stained with piceous at the apex, 

 terminal joints strongly widened, thorax twice as broad as long, 

 distinctly narrowed in front, the sides nearly straight, the angles 

 distinct, the surface crowded with small punctures, the space near 

 the lateral margins nearly impunctate and forming a slight ridge 

 when seen in a certain light, sculellum broad, entirely impunctate, 

 elytra without distinct shoulders, as broad as the thorax at the 

 base, with ten regular rows of distinct punctures, the one nearest 

 the suture abbreviated near the middle and more closely approa- 

 ched to the second one than the others are to each other, the next 

 row (which forms the first of the entire rows) with the punctures 

 placed in a slight groove (not always very distinct) the interstices 

 very sparingly and finely punctured ; below and the legs nearly 

 black, the breast strongly punctured, the prosternum strongly 

 narrowed at the middle ; the flancs of the thorax and the elytral 

 epipleurse likewise strongly punctured. 



Hah. Assam. (My collection.) 



From the European winged species of Phaedon the present one 

 is distinguished by the nearly parallel general shape, the close 

 and fine punctuation of the thorax, the distinct rows of elytral 

 punctures, visible to the apex, the strongly punctured under side 

 and the black antennse. 



HALTIGIN^ 



APHTHONA INDICA n. sp. 



Below piceous, the antennse and legs flavous, above metallic
