22 Mr. J. S. Baly on new Species of Phytophagous Beetles. 



nearly impunctate ; clypeus depressed, separated from the face 

 by an angular grooved line, from the apex of which a longitu- 

 dinal groove runs upwards to the vertex ; antennse rather longer 

 than the head and thorax, moderately robust. Thorax twice 

 as broad as long; sides moderately rounded, narrowed from 

 the middle to the base ; disk moderately convex, nearly impunc- 

 tate, a few minute punctm*es being visible only under a lens ; 

 sides thickened, bounded within by an irregular longitudinal 

 fovea, on which, and also for a short space on the outer surface 

 of the disk, are to be seen a few deep punctures congregated in 

 irregular rows and patches. Scutellum semiovate, obtuse. 

 Elytra scarcely broader at the base than the thorax, oval, some- 

 what narrowed towards their apex, the latter subacutely rounded; 

 surface of each elytron with about five double rows of large 

 coppery-purple, deep, circular impressions, placed remotely and 

 at unequal distances in each row, but rather more crowded at 

 the base, more distant on the hinder half of the disk, the fourth 

 double row from the suture being there entirely obsolete ; inter- 

 spaces smooth, impunctate. 



Chrysomela Grutii. 



C. oblongo-ovata, convexa, nitido-cuprea ; antennis nigris, ore tarsis- 

 que obscure virido-eeneis ; thorace sparse hie illic fortiter punc- 

 tato, lateribus paulo incrassatis, intra marginem leniter longitudi- 

 naliter excavatis et ibi profunde varioloso-punctatis, punctis con- 

 fluentibus ; elytris profunde et subremote punctatis, punctis sat 

 inagnis, ad latera et pone medium in striis gemellatis dispositis. 



Long. 3f lin. 



Hab. Rangoon. 



Oblong-ovate, convex, shining cupreous ; antennae black ; 

 mouth beneath and tarsi obscure metallic green. Head remotely 

 punctured ; epistome and lower portion of face depressed, the 

 former separated from the latter by an angular groove, from the 

 upper edge of which three grooved lines run upwards on the 

 face — viz. one from the apex, extending to the vertex, and one 

 on either side, short, and running obliquely outwards towards 

 the eye. Thorax twice as broad as long ; apex concavely exca- 

 vated; sides slightly rounded and narrowed, more quickly 

 rounded before the middle, above moderately convex; disk 

 somewhat sparingly impressed with coarse, deep, irregularly 

 congregated punctures, sides slightly thickened on the outer 

 margin, longitudinally excavated within, the excavated portion 

 covered with large, deeply impressed, confluent, variolose punc- 

 tures. Elytra ovate, impressed with numerous subremote, 

 large, deeply impressed punctures, confused on the anterior two- 

 thirds of the disk, arranged on the posterior third of each elytron
