Hah. Ceylon: Bogawantalawa (4900-5.200 feet^ G.Leivis). 



It is a large, rather massive species, moderately closely 

 clothed with decumbent whitish setae, which are very deuse 

 upon the scutellum and form four longitudinal rows of closer 

 agglomerations upon the elytra, which also bear a very few 

 erect scattered hairs. There is a slight metallic lustre upon 

 the anterior part of the body. I'he clypeus is semicircular 

 and rugose and the forehead coarsely punctured. The pro- 

 thorax is moderately short, strongly and rather closely punc- 

 tured, and at the sides rather rugosely. The lateral margins 

 are continuously rounded, the front angles acute and the 

 hind angles indistinct. Ihe elytra are closely and rather 

 coarsely punctured, with narrow indistinct costje coinciding 

 with the rows of patches of agglomerated setse. The 

 pygidium is rugosely, the sides of the metasternum densely, 

 and its middle very sparsely, punctured. The front tibia is 

 rather sharply tridentate. 



The eyes of the male are rather larger, the clypeus of the 

 female a little longer, and the apex of the abdomen slightly 

 indented beneath in the latter.

Hah. Ceylon : Ohiya [E. E. Green, Nov. 1907). 



Chestnut-red, with the elytra bright yellow, except the 

 margins, which are rather broadly red externally and very 

 narrowly along the base and suture. 'The head and pro- 

 thorax are lightly metallic. The body is moderately elon- 

 gate and conxex, and clothed with decumbent whitish sette, 

 which are rather scanty above, except at the apical margins 

 of the elytra and the pygidium. There are also a few 

 scattered erect hairs. The clypeus is fairly large, rugose, 

 with the margin semicircular, and the forehead is strongly 

 and closely punctured. The pronotum is moderately short,
