 appears to agrée with the insect described by me from L. Fea's 

 collection. 



8. Orthrius madurensis n. sp. — Rufo-ferriigineus, tenuiter 

 pubescens, nitidus, fere glaher, elytris haud striato-punctatis^ 

 capiie, pedibus elytrorum marginibus [bideniatis), sutura, macu- 

 lapce suturali pone médium, subquadrata, nigropiceis , elytris fia-

Bab. India, Madura (G. Somers-Smith). 



This is a neat insect, easily distinguished by its very smooth elytra 

 being of a paler colour than the thorax, whichisalraost blood-red, 

 and the neat pattern on them which with two projections corres- 

 ponding to the posterior square spot, and a smaller anterior one 

 on the suture, probably in some instances forms indented fasciae. 

 In the type however they are quite interrupted.

 Belgaum, Kanara; Bombay (coll. Gorh.). 

 This insect has the elytra striatepunctate from the base to 

 near the apex and has usually four blackish spots, i. e. two on 

 each elytron, both on the raargin, so described by Westwood; 

 White cails them bands interrupted at the suture, and from the 

 few examples I hâve seen it is variable in size and colour. 



One example from each locality. — The one from Belgaum 

 taken during the rains.
