ab. Kanara. 
Of this interesting species, only males are contained in this 
collection ; the insect is allied to À. nasuta Baly but differs in the 
structure of the head, and in the finely punctured elytra, the lower 
joints of the antennæ are in some specimens stained with piceous 
below ; I scarcely think this genus can be separated from Aenidea 
or Platyxantha since the differences are only sexual and peculiar 
to the male insect, these vary in almost every species, all other 
generic structures are identical; Baly says that the shape of 
Acroæena is distinct from Aenidea, being more elongate, but this 
character in itself is of no value, since shape is as variable as 
colour in the Phytophaga. 
Candezea multipunctata n. sp. 
Falvous, the elytra, breast and abdomen black, thorax finely 
punctured, obsoletely depressed at the sides, elytra closely and 
strongly punctured, the interstices minutely punctate. 
Var. Abdomen more or less flavous at the sides. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head impunctate, fulvous, the frontal elevations narrowly 
transverse, clypeus distlinctly raised between the antennæ, labrum
