76 HELOTA MAGDALENAE, 
base deeply bisinuate, the lateral angles acute, the median 
lobe rounded; the uppersurface regularly densely punctured, 
with an almost impunctate streak along the middle, espe- 
cially on the basal half; the lateral margins finely cre- 
nulated. The scutellum strongly transverse, glossy and 
impunctate. 
The elytra each with 10 rows of punctures which become 
larger and deeper towards the sides, making the interstices 
narrower; the interstices most delicately punctured, the 
4th and following often with a few larger punctures. The 
anterior pair of yellow spots are placed between the 4th and 
7th, the posterior pair between the 8rd and 6th striae. 
oOo. The apices of the elytra are almost conjointly 
rounded, the sutural angles blunt; the middle portion of 
the metasternum is exceedingly finely pubescent'); the 
apical ventral segment is broadly truncate posteriorly and 
provided with a large, well-defined, finely pubescent semi- 
circular impression, which is as broad as the truncation 
and touches the apical margin of the foregoing segment; 
the anterior tibiae are strongly curved in their apical half. 
Q. The apices of the elytra are pointed and slightly 
dehiscent; the middle-portion of the metasternum is not 
pubescent; the apical ventral segment is flat, regularly 
rounded posteriorly; the anterior tibiae are very faintly 
curved.

Superficially resembling Helota ocellata Rits, but easily 
distinguished from that species by the dark bronze green 
colour of the upper surface and by the differently coloured
