84 Capt. F. Parry’s Description 
XVIII. A Decade, or Description of ten new Species of 
Coleoptera, from the Kasya Hills, near the boundary of 
the Assam District. By VF. Parry, Esq. F.LS., &e. 
[Read 6 February, 1843. ] 
Sp. 1. Cicindela Assamensis, Parry. 
Atro-picea, elytris 4 flavo-maculatis, binis maculis humeralibus 
minoribus, duabus aliis infra medium disci positis, rotun- 
datis, et majoribus. Corpus infra nitidum, viride, trochante- 
ribus rubris. 
Long. lin. 93, lat. lin. 3. 
Habitat in agro Assamensi. 
This insect, (hitherto I believe undescribed, ) although somewhat 
rare in our collections, appears to be widely spread, the three 
specimens with which I am acquainted coming from Assam, the 
Himalayas and the Kasya Hiils. It verges considerably from the 
true typical form of Cicindela, and will probably form the type of 
a new genus. 
Sp. 2. Cicindela latipennis, Parry. 
Berrylino-viridis, fronte albido, disco subcupreo-zneo, tho- 
race concolori; elytris tribus lateralibus lunulis flavis, alter4- 
que fere media ad suturam vergenti, apicibusque flavis. 
Corpus infra albo-tomentosum, pectore roseo-zeneo nitenti, 
pedibusque concoloribus. 
Long. lin. 8, lat. lin. 4. 
From the Kasya Hills. 
This insect appears to be somewhat abundant, as there were up- 
wards of twenty specimens in a collection recently obtained by me. 
Sp. 3. Heptodonta Hope, Parry. 
Viridis, fronte albido, lateribus brunneis, thorace cylindrico, 
elytrisque concoloribus immaculatis, apicibus sub-truncatis. 
Corpus infra viride nitidum, femoribus ad basin flavis, tibiis 
tarsisque viridi-zeneis. 
Long. lin. 7§, lat. lin. 3. 
This new species I have named after my friend Mr. Hope, to 
whose genus /Teptodonta it evidently belongs; it is the largest 
species I am acquainted with of that genus, and I think it most 
probable (like others composing this group) that it is found on 
trees.
