base of the elytra black, the lower four joints fulvous, third and 
fourth and fifth joint slender, equal, the others rather shorter and 
thicker, thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides 
rather strongly rounded before the middle, straight at the 
base, the anterior angles produced obliquely outwards, the 
anterior margin with a very deép and short perpendicular 
groove at each side, the surface scarcely perceptibly and rather 
sparingly punctured, fulvous, posterior margin entire, broadly 
produced at the middle, scutellam fulvous, elytra strongly roun- 
ded, convex, dark blue, very finely and closely punctured, the 
punctures near the lateral margin sowewhat regularly arranged 
in rows, epipleuræ very broad, transversely wrinkled, legs and 
prosternum fulvous, breast and abdomen black. 
ab. Madura, Madras Presidency. 
I must separate this species from W. Powringi Baly on account 
of the entirely irregular punctuation of the elytra and its general 
more rounded shape. 
Podagrica (Visotra) striatipennis n. sp. 
Fulvous, thorax closely and very finely punctured, the anterior 
and posterior margin with two longitudinal grooves, elytra 
metallic blue, stronigly punctate-striate, the interstices finely 
punctured, the breast black. 
Length 1 1/2 line. 
Of posteriorly pointed shape, the head fulvous, impunctate, 
the frontal tubercles rather obsolete, clypeus transversely raised, 
antennæ extending to the base of the elytra, robust, fulvous, the 
sixth to the tenth joint, black, thorax strongly transverse, more 
than twice as broad as long, the sides much rounded, the anterior 
angles thickened, the posterior margin slightly sinuate at the 
sides, the medial lobe but little produced and rounded, its sides 
with a deep but short perpendicular groove, similar grooves are 
placed at the sides of the anterior margin behind the eyes, the 
surface rather convex, very finely and rather closely punctured, 
scutellum fulvous, elytra nearly parallel, pointed at the apex, 
very strongly and rather regularly punctate-striate, each elytron 
having about ten rows of punctures, the interstices finely and 
closely punctured, legs fulvous, robust, the breast and the 
abdomen (the last segment excepted) more or less black. 
Hab. Belgaum. 
A very distinct species on account of the strong and regular 
elytral punctuation, the strongly rounded sides of the thorax and 
the colour of the antennæ. It is perhaps as well to unite Visotra 
with Podagrica as Weise has suggested, since the only difference
