236 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of 



half the length of the body, black. Thorax more than 

 twice as broad as long ; sides nearly straight and slightly 

 diverging from the base to the middle, rounded anteriorly, 

 converging towards the apex, all the angles muci'onate ; 

 disk opaque, distinctly punctured, flattened and slightly 

 excavated on either side, distinctly but not evenly punc- 

 tured. Elytra broader than the thorax, regularly convex, 

 flavo-fulvous, the inflexed limb black ; disk impressed 

 with numerous black spots, arranged in double rows on 

 the anterior half of the inner disk, placed without order on 

 the sides and apex ; a metallic- green vitta, occupying the 

 hinder half of the suture, and two concolorous fascia, the 

 first before the middle, abbreviated long within the lateral 

 margin, the second oblique, placed behind the middle, 

 attached at its inner end to the sutural vitta, abbreviated 

 externally, but approaching much nearer to the lateral 

 border than the anterior one ; mesosternal spine equal in 

 length to the metasternum, slightly curved, very acute. 



Doryphora Thammi. 



Late ovata, convexa, nigra, nitida, supra geneo-nigra, 

 subopaca, thorace quam longo fere triplo latiori, utrinque 

 late depresso, disco vage, ad latera distincte punctato ; 

 elytris ante medium valde convexis, hinc ad apicem 

 declivibus, profimde punctatis ; utrinque vitta lata sub- 

 laterali, a humero fere ad apicem extensa, basi oblique 

 truncata, hinc ad apicem graduatim attenuata, flava 

 ornatis.

Head sparingly punctured ; thorax nearly three times 

 as broad as long ; sides parallel from the base to just 

 beyond the middle, thence obliquely rounded to the apex, 

 anterior and posterior angles mucronate ; disk very finely 

 punctured, broadly depressed on either side, where the 

 pimctures are rather coarser and more distinct. Elytra 

 much broader than the thorax, subquadrate-rotundate, 

 slightly narrowed towards the apex ; above very convex, 

 the highest part of their convexity being before the middle ; 

 (fi-om the middle to the apex they are obliquely deflexed ;) 

 surface deeply impressed with coarse punctures, the inter- 

 spaces between Avhich are irregular, granulose, and obso- 

 letely thickened; at the base on the suture is a nitidous 

 space, the rest of the surface is subopaque ; on each
