32 Mr. Martin Jacoby's new species of 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but differing in the 

 black head and thorax, and the want of the anterior sulcation of 

 the latter. (Coll. Jacoby). 



ASPIDOLOPHA RUGOSA, n. Sp. 



Metallic dark blue, closely pubescent ; the basal joints of the antennae, 

 and the tibiae and tarsi, fulvous ; thorax rugosely punctured ; the anterior half 

 fulvous, the posterior one blue ; elytra strongly punctured and rugose, fulvous ; 

 a spot at the shoulder, another at the apex, and a transverse band at the 

 middle, dark blue. Length, 3 lines. 



Head metallic blue, finely rugose, the eyes elongate, the inner space 

 clothed with thick yellovi'ish pubescence ; antennae extending to the base of 

 the thorax, fuscous, the basal four joints flavous ; thorax transverse, the sides 

 slightly rounded, narrowed in front, the sm-face obsoletely depressed each 

 side in front of the scutelliim, rugosely punctured throughout, the anterior 

 portion fulvous, the base with a transverse broad blue band, having its 

 anterior edge irregularly dentate and divided at the middle, its sides 

 obliquely cut ; scutellum broad, dark blue, pubescent, its apex longitudinally 

 raised ; elytra strongly lobed laterally, closely and strongly punctured, the 

 interspaces transversely rugose and wrinkled, with traces of longitudinal 

 costce towards the apex, fulvous ; a spot at the shoulder, of transverse irre- 

 gular shape, a transverse band at the middle extending nearly to either 

 margin, and another sutural spot near the apex, blue ; under-side thickly 

 clothed with yellowish pubescence. 



Hah. Sikkim. 



The rugosely punctured thorax and elytra, in connection with 

 the apical spot of the latter, sufficiently distinguishes this 

 species from any of its congeners. (Coll. Jacoby). 



COPTOCEPHALA VENTRALIS, n. Sp. 



Fulvous ; the antennae, the sides of the breast, a ventral spot and the 

 pygidium, fuscous ; the head and a spot on the thorax black ; elytra metallic 

 blue, closely punctured. Length, 2 lines. 



Head bluish black, flat, scarcely perceptibly punctured ; antennae scarcely 

 extending to the base of the thorax, black, the basal three joints obscure 

 fulvous ; thorax transverse, three times broader than long, the sides rounded, 

 narrowed in front, the posterior margin straight at the sides, the median lobe 

 slightly produced, the surface impunctate, fulvous, with a transversely-shaped 

 black spot at the middle of the disc ; scutellum triangular, not longer than 

 broad, impunctate ; elytra lobed at the sides, slightly narrowed posteriorly, 

 dark metallic blue, closely and distinctly punctured, the punctures finer 

 towards the apex, and here and there arranged in rows ; under side fulvous, 

 finely pubescent ; the sides of the breast, and a spot at the last abdominal 

 segment, as well as the pygidium, fuscous ; femora fulvous ; the apex of the 

 tibiae and the tarsi fuscous. 



Hah. Assam. (Coll. Jacoby). 



Antipha hirsuta, n. sp. 



Entirely fulvous ; the antennae (the basal joints excepted) black ; thorax 

 closely punctured ; elytra clothed with fulvous pubescence, closely and irre- 

 gularly punctured. Length, 2^ lines. 



Head closely punctured, sparingly pubescent ; antennae filiform, the in- 

 termediate joints slightly widened, the lower three joints fulvous, the others 

 black ; thorax transverse, twice as broad as long, the sides straight, the 

 anterior angles obliquely truncate, the disc with a small fovea at each side, 

 closely and distinctly punctured, and sparingly pubescent ; elytra ovate,
