Pawn NEW Ca LAMY SOUR ROM CAL CURE A

Among the Hispinae and Cassidinae sent to me by Mr. 
Gravely from the Indian Museum, there occurs an interesting 
insect, belonging to the division Camptosomes of the family 
Chrysomelidae. It is necessary to describe it as a new species, 
it being the fourteenth Chlamys recorded from the Indian region. 
I name it after Mr. Gravely who found it on Ziziphus jujuba 
at Calcutta and tells me that in life it closely resembles a piece of 
caterpillar excrement. I thank Dr. Gahan for allowing me to 
see the types in the collection of the British Museum, and Mr. 
Andrewes for letting me examine the types in his collection. 
Family CHRYSOMELIDAKE. 
Division CAMPTOSOMATA. 
Sub-family CHLAMYDINAE. 
Genus Chlamys, Knoch. 
Chlamys gravelyi, n. sp. 
Sub-quadrate, broadest at the middle, narrowed anteriorly 
and posteriorly, black, five basal joints of antennae fulvous, the 
remaining six joints very dark brown. The insect is completely 
covered with coarse and shallow punctures, in some parts the 
punctures are shallower and in others they are deeper. The 
elevated surface of the prothorax with four ridges and without any 
tubercles, each elytron with ten sharp tubercles. Length 2°5 mm. 
Head with the vertex coarsely punctate, shallowly depressed 
in the middle; eyes oval, convex, triangularly notched on the 
inner side; basal jeint of the antenna thickest, longest, and 
curved to fit into the grooves round the eyes, 2nd joint small and 
rounded, 3rd-5th joints small and equal to one another in length, 
6th joint transverse but smaller than the following joints, 7th-rrth 
joints large and transverse, apex of 11th joint rounded. When 
the antennae are extended forwards the lateral expansions of the 
apical 6 joints are on the outer side, in repose they lie closely 
pressed to the sides of the prosternum, the tips reaching up to its 
constricted portion, and the lateral expansions being on the inner 
side. It is difficult to examine the antennae properly unless they 
are dissected off and a balsam mount made of them.
