NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN PHYTOPHAGA 139 



rather flat, trigonate, separated by the broad apex of the clypeus, 

 the anterior margin of llie latter slightly concave, extreme edge of 

 the labrum piceous, antennae extending to the middle of the elytra, 

 the basal joint elongate, the second very slightly shorter than the 

 third, the rest more elongate, terminal joints stained with fuscous, 

 thorax nearly twice as broad as long, the sides straight, the anterior 

 angles slightly thickened, obtuse, posterior ones distinct, the surface 

 obsoletely depressed at the sides, the depressions interrupted at 

 the middle, entirely impunctate, scutellum triangular, rather broad, 

 elytra extremely finely and closely punctured, below coloured like 

 the upper surface, the elytral epipleuraj continued below the middle, 

 metatarsus of the posterior legs very elongate. 



Hab. Mandar, Bengal. 



A rather uninteresting looking small species of uniform pale 

 testaceous coloration and closely allied to C impressicolUs Jac. from 

 Sumatra. This species is however of much larger size and the thorax 

 is much more deeply impressed, the antennee also are more 

 elongate. 



CANDEZEA TRIFASCIATA n. sp. 



Head, the breast and the legs black, antense fuscous or flavous, 

 thorax impunctate flavo.us, plytra scarcely perceptibly punctured, 

 flavous, a transverse narrow band at the base, another at the middle 

 and a third at the apex black, abdomen flavous. 



Length 6 mill. 



Of elongate, nearly parallel shape, the head impunctate, black, 

 the frontal elevations distinct, clypeus rather broad, impunctate, 

 antennae fuscous, the basal three or four joints flavous, third joint 

 one half longer than the second one, fourth and following joints 

 elongate, thorax one half broader than long, the sides rounded at 

 the middle, the base slightly constricted, the disc entirely impunc- 

 tate, flavous, scutellum black, elytra wider at the base than the 

 thorax, extremely finely punctured, flavous, the base with a trans- 

 verse black band, deeply indented at its lower edge at the middle 

 and extending to the lateral margin, the middle with another band, 

 not extendi^ to the suture and strongly constricted at the middle, 

 this band is joined at the sides to another one of somewhat semicir- 

 cular shape placed at the apex, the breast and legs black, the first 

 joint of the posterior tarsi elongate, abdomen flavous. 



Hah. Siam, also Tringanee and Gochinchina. (My collection.) 



This seems to be a rather widely distributed species of wich I can 

 find no published description ; the elytral epipleurse are broad at 

 the base but very narrow although distinct below the middle ; the 

 species is well distinguished by its system of coloration.
