96 Mr. J. S. Baly on six new species 



dinal rows on each el}i;ron, — the first row abbreviated, the others ap- 

 proximating in pairs ; on the outer border is also a single row of finer 

 punctiu'es ; interspaces shining, slightly swollen, impressed with a few 

 fine scattered pimctm'es; the strife here and there deeply sulcate. 

 Body beneath subremotely punctured. 

 Hob. Northern China. 



4. Chrysomela separata. 



C. oblonga, convexa, nitido-cuprea ; thorace transverso, lateribus rotun- 

 datis, subincrassatis, profunde rugoso-pimctatis, disco sparse hie illic 

 fortiter punctato ; elytris profunde pimctatis, punctis in striis inter- 

 ruptis dispositis. — Long. 4 lin. 



Oblong, convex, shining cupreous. Head vaguely punctm*ed; an- 

 tennae scarcely half the length of the body, robust, nigTO-aeneous. 

 Thorax twice broader than long; sides slightly ampliate-rotundate, 

 narrowed in front : disk sparingly covered with large, deep, irregularly 

 crowded punctures; sides incrassate, deeply and coarsely rugose-punctate, 

 their inner edge bounded by a longitudinal depression. Scutellum 

 smooth, impimctate. Elytra subovate, convex, deeply porose-punctate ; 

 punctures large, somewhat iiTegularly arranged in interrupted longitu- 

 dinal rows (about ten in each elj'tron), which indistinctly approximate 

 in pairs; interspaces smooth, slightly swollen, impunctate. Body 

 beneath shining cupreous, finely but remotely pimctured ; legs nigro- 

 seneous. 



Hab. Northern India. 



At once distinguished from the preceding species (to which it is 

 otherwise closely allied) by its narrower and less convex form, and 

 by the rugose lateral border of its thorax. . 



5. Chrysomela Bowri^igii. 



C. oblonga, convexa, nigro-senea, nitida ; thorace disco fortiter- et irregu- 

 lariter-, lateribus rugoso-pimctato ; scutello elj^risque rufo-testaceis, 

 seneo vix micantibus, his subcrebre subseriatim pimctatis ; abdomine 

 ad apicem plus minusve rufo-testaceo. — Long. 4 lin. 



Oblong, convex, nigro-seneous, nitidous ; scutellum and elytra rufo- 

 testaceous, with a faint metallic reflexion. Head pimctured ; antennfe 

 half the length of the body, slightly incrassate towards their apex. 

 Thorax nearly twice broader than long; sides slightly roimded, narrowed 

 towards their apex, sometimes notched at the base, anterior angles sub- 

 acute : disk irregularly punctiu'ed ; sides moderately incrassate, coarsely 

 rugose, boimded within by a longitudinal depression. Ehl;ra four 

 times the length of the thorax, oblong-ovate, sides slightly oval, apex 

 regidarly rounded ; above moderately convex, sm-face covered ■w'ith 

 nmnerous irregular rows of deeply impressed but not very large punc-
