HELOTA PASTEURI. 111 
NOTE IX. 
A NEW HELOTA FROM WEST-JAVA 
DESCRIBED BY 
C. RITSEMA Cz. 
Helota Pasteuri, n. sp. Q. 
Allied to Helota Feae Rits. from Burma and Vandepolli 
Rits. from Borneo, but differing from both in the pale 
colour of the antennae, in the more prolonged apices of 
the elytra and in the larger size of the yellow elytral spots. 
From eae it is moreover at once distinguished by the 
want of the reddish testaceous lateral streaks on the pro- 
notum and by the regularly rounded apical ventral segment. 
From Vandepolli it differs by the flavous lateral streaks 
of the prosternum and by the flavous basal half of the 
claw-joint of the tarsi. 
Length 14,5 mm. — Shining; rather narrow, elongate, 
narrowed in front and behind; dark bronze above, here 
and there with a strong violet gloss; the antennae and 
the extreme anterior angles of the pronotum testaceous; 
the four convex yellow elytral spots ovate, rather large 
and situated between the 3rd and 6th striae. Underneath 
yellow testaceous, with the exception of the head, the 
extreme margins of the prosternum, a spot between the 
the antérior and intermediate coxae, and the elytral epi- 
pleurae, which parts are dark pitchy or bronze coloured. 
The legs are yellow testaceous, with the trochanters, the 
knees, the apex of the tibiae and the tarsi (with the excep- 
tion of the basal half of the claw-joint) black. 
Head strongly produced in front of the eyes, slightly 
raised along the middle, deeply punctured, the punctures
