310 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse's Notice of a small 



green or Avhite, the dorsal and lateral stripes pink, the 

 lateral stripe elongate and generally iniited to a snbapical 

 spot. 



2. Head, thorax and el} tra not entirely clothed with 

 scales. Elytra with a sutural pale green or white stripe, 

 the dorsal stripe pink, vermilion or ochre ; the lateral 

 stripe vermilion or ochre, varying in length. 



3. Like the above (No. 2), bnt with a short stripe be- 

 tween the dorsal stripe and the subapical spot. 



4. Sntural stripe absent ; with two dorsal stripes, the 

 onter one more or less abbreviated, sometimes united at 

 the base with the inner stripe ; there is also a subhumeral 

 stripe and a short snbapical spot. 



I think it doubtful whether the following is to be con- 

 sidered as a distinct species or not. It appears to be dis- 

 tinct, but having only a single example I should not 

 venture to name it. 



Prcspodes nittatus, var. (?) 



Black ; a spot at the posterior angles of the thorax, the 

 scutellum, the suture of the elytra and a lateral stripe
