HELOTA MARTHAE. 79 
rounded at the apex, the lateral margins from just behind 
the shoulders narrowly flattened; each elytron with 10 
regular rows of relatively large punctures; the interstices 
faintly convex, covered with a most delicate punctuation. 
The sides of sterna and abdomen are distinctly punctured 
those of the latter however very minutely. The apical 
ventral segment is broadly subtruncate posteriorly and pro- 
vided with a faint depression which is almost inconspi- 
cuously punctate and pubescent. The tibiae are very dis- 
tinctly punctate; those of the anterior pair of legs are 
very strongly curved at some distance before the apex. 
Hab. West Java: Stkabumi, 2000’. — The described 
-male-specimen is in the collection of Mr. René Oberthiir. 
In Vol. XXXI of the „Notes” (p. 181) I published a 
Synopsis of the Helota-species from Insulinde at that time 
known to me. The publication of three new species neces- 
sitates a modification of that division of my Synopsis (8, 
on p. 182 1. c.) which includes those species that have the 
„pronotum more finely and evenly punctured, without 
raised patches.” It ought to be changed as follows: 
A. Elytra with four flavous spots. 
+. Prosternum unicolorous. 
§. Prosternum dark bronze . . Candezei Rits. 
SS. Prosternum fulvous. 
® Anterior portion of the sides 
of pronotum fulvous. 
X. Tibiae bright metallic 
green or golden. 
*, Posterior elytral spots 
between the 3rd and 
{th striae . . . . ocellata Rits. 
**, Posterior elytral spots 
between the 3rd and 
6th striae. . . . Magdalenae Rits.

patchy cs 2 rn zeten Grouvelle: Rits.
