ridge extending nearly to the middle of the dise, there it is 

 connected wilh a short transverse ridge which sends off anotiier 

 branch towards the shoulders where it is indistinct, this transverse 

 ridge is again connected wilh anolher more strongly raised carina 

 near the suture by a short longitudinal branch, three or four 

 strongly raised tubercles are placed near the apex, the suture is 

 finely serrate throughout, the legs are fulvous, with the exception 

 of the black posterior femora, the poslerior tibiae are likewise more 

 or less dark near the base, the breast is foveolate-punctate, the 

 abdomen and the pygidium are rugosely and more finely and 

 evenly punctured, the sides of the pygidium are obsoletely longitu- 

 dinally sulcale. 



Hab. Anamalais, India. 



This Chlamys difïers from C. fulvipes Baly in the differently 

 sculptured thorax and elytra and in not having the pygidium 

 tricarinate as in that species. C. indica Jac. is a much larger 

 species, with black tibiae and similarly coloured apical joints of the 

 antennse, in this species the pygidium also has three longitudinal 

 ridges. 



CHRYSOMELIN^. 



GHRYSOMELA CARINATA sp. n. 



Apterous, metallic greenish or seneous, the thorax nearly 

 impunctate, the sides deeply longitudinally sulcate with some deep 

 punctures, elytra obscure cupreous, opaque, each with five double 

 rows of deep punctures, the suturai row singly belovv the middle, 

 the interstices slightly longitudinally costate in the maie, very 

 strongly raised and acute in the female. 



Length 7-9 mill. 



(^. Head impunctate, metallic greenish-œneous, antennse rather 

 siender, black, the third and terminal joint the longest, the fourth 

 and following joints of equal length; thorax twice as broad as long, 

 the sides very feebly rounded, strongly thickened and bounded by 

 a deep longitudinal sulcus wilhin, Ihe latter sparingly impressed 

 with a few punctures of varions size, the rest of the surface impunc- 

 tate, metallic œneous; scutellum greenish, elytra strongly pointed 

 at the apex, very deeply punctured in irregular double rows, the 

 interstices feebly longitudinally raised. 



Hab. Nilgiri Hills. 



I knovv of no other Indian Chrysomela which has similarly sculp- 

 tured elytra, the latter in the maie are of dull coppery colour, 

 scarcely metallic and the interstices are but very feebly convex, in
