Genus Leptispa, Baly. 



(Sp. 5.) Leptispa Godiuini. 



FiliformiSj subcylindrica, nigra, nitida, thorace sub- 

 quadrato, disco utrinque excavate, ad latera confertim, 

 dorse remote, foveolato-punctato, punctis irregulariter 

 congregatis et minoribus interspersis ; elytris thorace 

 vix latioribus, parallelis, pauUo ante apicem angus- 

 tatis, apice ipso rotundato, sat fortiter punctato-striatis, 

 striis leviter sulcatis, interspatiis nonnullis ad latera 

 costatis. 



Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. — Shanghai. 



Antennae equal in length to the head and thorax, 

 moderately robust, very slightly thickened towards the 

 apex. Thorax subquadrate, scarcely broader than long, 

 sides straight and parallel from the base to beyond the 

 middle, thence rounded and converging to the apex ', 

 above transversely convex, irregularly but not very closely 

 punctured. Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax, 

 sides parallel, apical border dilated, slightly reflexed. 



The species above described agrees closely in size and 

 form with Leptispa abdominalis ; it may be known by its 

 much coarser punctuation, and its entirely black colour. 



Genus Callispa, Baly. 

 (Sp. 2a.) Callispa proxima. 



Anguste oblonga, subdepressa, nigra, nitida, supra 

 nigro-caerulea, pedibus nigro-piceis, tarsis fulvis ; thorace 

 disco subremote et tenuiter punctato, ad latera subcrebre 

 varioloso, lateribus a basi ad apicem rotundato-angustatis ; 

 elytris antice sat profunde, postice minus fortiter punc- 

 tato-striatis, striis ad apicem sulcatis, interspatiis ad 

 latera convexiusculis; fronte antrorsum angulato-producta. 



Long. 3 lin. 



Hah. — Siam, Mountains of Laos; collected by the late 

 M. Mouhot. 



This species stands very close to Callispa Bowringii; 

 its antennae are rather more slender, their first and third 

 joints being also shorter with relation to the second ; the 

 sides of the thorax are more regularly rounded; and 

 lastly, the colour of the surface of the body is much more 

 obscure, the blue being strongly tinged with black.
