in about four double longitudinal rows, the outer one extending 

 the whole length of the elytron, just within its lateral border; 

 interspaces smooth. 



Chrysomela Bonvouloirii. 



C. anguste oblonga, modice convexa, nitida, cuprea, pedibus obscure 

 aeneis ; antennis nigris ; thoracis disco remote punctato, lateribus 

 paulo incrassatis profunde subvarioloso-punctatis ; elytris fortiter 

 striato-punctatis, striis nonnullis pone medium obsoletis. 

 Var. A. obscure aenea.

Hab. India ; collected by Mr. Bretingham. 



Narrowly oblong, moderately convex, bright cupreous, niti- 

 dous ; legs obscure aeneous. Head punctured ; epistome de- 

 pressed, separated from the face by an angular line; antennae 

 half the length of the body, black. Thorax two and a half times 

 as broad as long ; sides rotundate-angustate from base to apex, 

 rather more quickly narrowed in front ; anterior margin broadly 

 concave; upper surface smooth, distinctly but sparingly punc- 

 tured on the disk, the punctures being irregularly crowded; 

 sides thickened on the lateral border, a narrow band along this 

 latter being entirely free from punctures, a longitudinal space 

 immediately within, however, is covered with numerous large 

 deeply impressed subvariolose punctures, which extend also a 

 short distance along the base of the thorax. Scutellum semi- 

 ovate, smooth and impunctate. Elytra slightly broader than 

 the thorax, their sides subparallel, the apex rounded ; surface 

 of each elytron covered with rows of deeply impressed punctures ; 

 on the posterior half of the surface, many of the rows are obso- 

 lete, causing the remaining rows to appear gemellate ; inter- 

 spaces remotely punctate; outer half of anterior disk indi- 

 stinctly wrinkled transversely. 



This species varies somewhat in the amount and also in the 

 depth of the punctation of its surface. 



Chrysomela Stevensii. 



C. anguste oblonga, modice convexa, nitida, laete cuprea ; capite . 

 scutello pedibusque obscure aeneis ; antennis nigris ; thoracis discc 

 hie illic fortiter punctato, lateribus extus incrassatis, intus obsolete 

 longitudinaliter depressis, rude varioloso-punctatis, fere rugosis ; 

 elytris rude punctato- striatis, striis irregulariter dispositis. 



Long. 4f lin. 



Hab. Rangoon. 



Narrowly oblong, moderately convex, bright cupreous, niti- 

 dous; head, scutellum, and legs obscure aeneous. Head irre- 

 gularly but not closely punctured; clypeus nearly occupied by
