HELOTA GUTTATA. 135 
Burma‘) but of a different coloration, the upper surface 
being coppery with shades of green, in stead of being 
dark bronze; moreover, the shape of the new species is 
somewhat narrower and, consequently, slightly more elon- 
gate, the elytra are less convex in a transverse direction 
just before the anterior yellow spots, and their tips more 
narrowly rounded than in the female sex of serratipennis. 
Length 8 mm. — Shining; above coppery with shades 
of green, especially ou the head and thorax; the scutellum 
shining golden green; the antennae fulvous, the club in- 
fuscate, the scape with a metallic green spot anteriorly ; 
the front angles of the pronotum testaceous; the elytra 
provided with two pairs of yellow convex spots of which 
the anterior pair are placed between the 4th and 7th, 
the posterior pair between the 3rd and 6th striae; the 
spots are surrounded with bluish black. The colour of the 
underside is pale testaceous, with the exception of the 
head and elytral epipleurae which are brassy; the legs are 
reddish testaceous, with the apex of the femora, the entire 
tibiae ‘and the tarsi bronze green. 
The head strongly but not densely punctured on the 
middle of the face, finer and closer near the eyes, very 
fine on the narrowed front portion. 
Prothorax transverse, slightly narrowing in nearly straight 
lines to the front margin, the lateral margins indistinctly 
crenulate, the anterior angles scarcely prominent, the front 
margin slightly curved backwards; the base bisinuate, the 
lateral angles acute, the median lobe broadly rounded, 
the pronotum strongly and regularly densely punctured, 
the punctures becoming slightly larger and consequently 
more closely set towards the sides; an impunctate streak, 
narrowing towards the front margin, runs along the middle 
and is, on both sides of its base, accompanied by a dis- 
tinct impression. The scutellum is strongly transverse, 
broadly rounded behind.
