DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW SPECIES, 
Helota sumbawensis, n. sp. Q. 
This small species is very closely allied to Helota in- 
termedia Rits.*) from British Bhotan, agreeing with it by 
having the pronotum uniformly bronze-colored (the anterior 
angles not fulvous), but well distinguished from it by 
the different position of the anterior pair of flavous elytral 
spots, these being placed in the new species between the 
Srd and 7th striae, in intermedia however between the 4th 
and 6th, The posterior pair of elytral spots are situated 
in both species between the 3rd and 6th striae, 
Length 7,5 mm. — Head and pronotum sub-opaque, the 
elytra more shining; above dark bronze, the head with 
coppery tinges, the antennae dark pitchy, the two basal 
joints metallic green, the extreme front- and basal margin 
of the pronotum bright coppery, the scutellum and the 
basal- and sutural margins of the elytra bright metallic 
green, the shoulders and the lateral margins more indis- 
tinctly green; the convex flavous elytral spots are broadly 
1) The flavous elytral spots, especially the posterior pair, distinctly smaller 
than in the typical form (that from Java). 
2) The flavous elytral spots more roundish and nearer to the suture than in 
the typical form.
