6G CEHAMBTCIDjE. 



regularly punctured ; the rows of punctures of unequal length, 

 some extending a little beyond the middle of the elytra, others 

 not reaching to the middle. The hind femora extend a little past 

 the apex of the elytra in the male, but do not quite reach to the 

 apex in the female. Apex of last ventral segment subtruucate in 

 the male, rounded in the female. 



Length 20-26 : breadth 4-5 mm. 



Hob. Assam : Sylhet and Sudiya. 



61. Typodryas trochanterius, sp. n. 



Metallic green, subnitid, with a steel-blue sutural band on the 

 elytra ; legs and base of antennae dark blue, the rest of the 

 antennae of a darker violaceous tint. Closely resembling T. calli- 

 chromoides, Thorns., in colour, this species is smaller in size ; with 

 the elytra less oblique at the apex, the sutural tooth more distinct 

 and the dorsal lines more faintly raised ; the prothorax less deeply 

 constricted and grooved near the apex, the disc very faintly 

 depressed in the middle and less strongly wrinkled towards the 

 sides so that the median area is not distinctly marked off from 

 the lateral parts ; the hind femora shorter, not reaching quite to 

 the apex of the elytra in the male ; this sex differs also from the 

 same sex of callichromoides in the trochanters of the front legs, 

 which are each armed with a short spine at the apex. The female 

 is without these spines and has the last ventral segment rounded 

 at the apex instead of subtruncate ; the sexual difference in the 

 length of the antennae and hind legs is very slight. 



Length 14-20 ; breadth 2^-4 mm. 



Hob. Assam : Patkai Mts. and Assam Valley (Dolierty). 



Genus MELEGENA. 

 Melegena, Pascoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. (3) iii, p. 659 (1869). 



Type, M. pubipennis, Pasc., a species from Borneo. 



Range. India, Cochin China, and Borneo. 



Agrees in form and most points of structure with Distenia, 

 Serv., but differs as follows : femora strongly thickened so as to 

 form a more or less distinct fusiform club, the hind femora similar 

 in form to the anterior ones, but slightly longer ; first joint of 

 the hind tarsus not so long as the second and third united. 



62. Melegena flavipes, sp. n. 



Blackish brown ; the legs, the first joint of the antennae, 

 the whole of the front of the head and the palpi pale yellow ; 

 the abdomen ferruginous ; the elytra faintly covered with greyish 

 pubescence. Head gradually narrowed from the eyes to the 

 occiput, finely and closely but somewhat unevenly punctulate. 

 Prothorax finely and very densely punctulate. Elytra rounded 

 and unarmed at the apex, rather densely punctured except
