Jauravia limbata. 
Jauravia limbala Motsch., Étud. Ent. 1858, p. 118:? Crotch, 
Rev. Cocc., p. 274. 
Pale whitish yellow, the breast sometimes a little infuscate, 
elytra black, with the lateral margin rather widely whitish, 
widening at the apex, punctuation not distinct, appears slightly 
coriaceous. 
Hab. IxvrA, Belgaum, Kanara (Andrewes, Bell). 
The difficulty of recognising Motschulsky’s insect arises from the 
fact of his having only alluded to it in a few words, comparing 
it with Jawravia pallidula. There is a general resemblance in the 
insect here recorded to some species of the South American genus 
Zenoria, and it will perhaps be as well to assume that is Mot- 
schulsky’s species. Crotch has given it twice by an oversight in 
the Revision with a short diagnosis, both seem to refer to the 
same species. 
The Belgaum specimens of this insect were found by sweeping 
round the ricefields in May. 
Epilachna minima n. sp. 
Breviler ovala, saturate ferruginea, elytrorum margine basali 
et laterali (ante apicem abbreviala) punctisque duobus discoidali- 
bus in sinqgulis, el uno sulurali haud bene discreto, corporeque sub- 
tus nigris. — Long 3 millim. 
Tab. Ixpra, Belgaum (Andrewes). 
The smallest species of Zpilachna known to me; the head and 
thorax bright rusty-red spotless, the elytra duller, with mode- 
rately distinct stellate punctuation. The black of the basal marzin 
returns à little way down the suture, and there are one ©: two 
small indistinct spots along the suture not united though very 
close, and two distinct spots on the disk, one just before the 
middle, one about one third from the apex. The outer margin as 
far back as this spot, the epipleuræ and the body beneath are 
black. 
Two specimens. Found under bark in December. 
SCYMNUS NUBILUS Muls., Spec. Col. Trim. sécur., p. 972. — 
Belgaum, Kanara. 
Specimens in M' Andrewes collection agree very well with a 
typical specimen in Crotch’s collection, but judging by the descrip- 
tion they could be equally well referred to Scymnus Curtisii, of 
which I have not had the advantage of seeing a « type ».
