CHALCOLAMPRA 18-GUTTATA Fab. 
A single specimen from Kanara; this species seems to be very 
widely distributed, I possess specimens from Sumatra, Perak and 
China. Weise, who apparently did not know the species, has 
redescribed it as PAola Keyserlingi, at least, he does not compare 
it with Chalcolampra and his description agrees entirely with the 
present species. 
HALTICINÆ. 
HALTICA CYANEA Weber. 
Dark blue, the antennæ black, thorax impunctate, the posterior 
suleus sinuate, elytra rather strongly and closely punctured. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head impunctate, frontal tubercles strongly raised, trigonate, 
carina rather broad, antennæ extending nearly to the middle of 
the elytra, black, the basal two joints dark fulvous at the apex, 
the third joint double the lenght of the second but shorter than the 
fourth ; thorax twice as broad as long, the lateral margin slightly 
rounded and produced at the middle, the dise entirely impunctate,, 
the basal sulceus sinuate, placed at some distance from the basal 
margin, scutellum nearly black, broad, impunctate, elytra very 
closely and rather strongly punctured, more finely so near the apex ; 
the penis elongate, of equal width, the apex rather broadly roun- 
ded, produced at the middle to a short truncate point, the under- 
side smooth, with a longitudinal groove at each side near the apex. 
Hab. Kanara, Belgaum, S. Bombay, Chamba (Himalayas). 
I have given here a more detailed description of what I believe 
to be the true 77. cyanea of Weber which has evidently a very 
wide geographical distribution ; the short diagnosis published by 
the author applies of course to a great number of species equally 
well, which can perhaps be best distinguished by the shape of the 
male organ ; I have examined the latter in specimens from Java 
and Sumatra and found it to agree entirely with those from the 
Indian localities quoted above. The following species from Burmah 
seems however to be distinct. 
Haltica birmanensis n. sp. 
Metallic bright blue, the antennæ black, thorax impunctate, 
elytra with irregular rows of punctures, the interstices slightly 
rugose, the sides with one or two longitudinal grooves. 
Length 2 1/2 lines. 
Of rather larger size than the preceding species, more brilliant
