Hab. Belgaum, Dharwar, S. Bombay. 
The design of the elytra in the plainly marked form resembles 
much that of several European species in which the elytra are 
marked by a more or less distinct straight or curved pale vitta; 
P. birmanica Har. seems another closely allied species but differs

the specimens I have exanimed proved to be females.

specimens obtained is dark blue and the punctuation of the thorax 
and the elytra very distinct. 
Longitarsus madurensis n. sp.

nal joints darker, basal joint rather long, the second one scarcely 
shorter than the third joint, terminal joints thickened, thorax 
one half broader than long, the sides rather strongly rounded, the
