[sometimes blue, or inclined to blue posteriorly] ; the 

 prosternal process has a few strong punctures, [sometimes 

 with a slight medial impression] ; the apical segment of 

 the abdomen is entirely smooth, blue-green. Legs green. 



Length 10 — 11^^ lines.

Coccinellopsis histrigata, n. sp. 



Allied to P. solca, Klug, but smaller, with a more 

 distinctly defined oblique impressed line on each side of 

 the thorax ; the prosternum with a medial longitudinal 

 impression, &c. Thorax subparallel at the sides, 

 suddenly narrowed (or perhaps rather constricted) in 

 front, rather sparingly but strongly punctured ; with the 

 medial impression well marked and entire ; there is an 

 oblique, rather deeply impressed brassy line extending 

 from the anterior angle to within a short distance of the 

 medial channel ; there is also a small impression within 

 each posterior angle. The dorsal strijo of the elytra are 

 very strong, and the first two or three interstices convex; 

 each elytron has the following impressions : — one at the 

 extreme base ; one on the margin below the shoulder ; 

 one a little behind the middle ; and two between this and 

 the apex ; these last two rather more approximate than 

 the others, but not running together, as is nearly the case 

 in P. solea; there are also four or five small impressions on 

 the 3rd interstice, and some very small dots on the 

 sutural one ; the apex is somewhat compressed, frosted, 

 and pubescent, as in solea. The colour above, in one 

 specimen, is obscure purple, the other specimens are 

 black ; the impressions are slightly brassy, and filled 

 with white pubescence. The under side of the insect is 

 coppery, more obscure and partly brassy at the sides, 

 strongly punctured ; the apical segment of the abdomen 

 is smooth, except a narrow basal margin. The under 

 margin of the elytra is dark blue. The legs are brassy. 



Length 8 — 9 lines. 



Hah. — Antananarivo (Ivingdon) . 



Coccinellopsis terminalis, n. sp. 

 Allied to P. auroincta, Lap. & Gory, but with the 

 general coloration of P. complanata. Brassy, the thorax
