Hah. N. India. 



Head and protliorax with a rather close sulphur-yellow pube- 

 scence ; the latter with four black spots, in two rows, on the disk, 

 and one, smaller, on each side. Elytra reddish testaceous, with a 

 sulphur-yellow pubescence ; with a single distinct carina on each 

 side, which is not continued quite up to the external apical spine, 

 and with four black spots on each elytron forming a longitudinal 

 row nearly midway between the suture and the lateral carina. 

 Body underneath yellowish pubescent. Legs yellowish testaceous. 

 Middle tibiae without a groove. Antennae black. 



M. Thomson, in the Appendix to his * Systema,' 

 p. 566, has placed G. 14-macidata, Hope, as a synonym 

 of Glenea macidifera, Thoms. The latter species is 

 unknown to me, but it can scarcely, I think, be identical 

 with Hope's species, seeing that M. Thomson, in his too 

 brief diagnosis, makes use of the expression "elytra 

 16-maculata." In any case, Hope's is a much older 

 name.
