PSEUDOCLYTBA. 101 



fuscous, as long as the thorax, the basal four joints fulvous. 

 Thorax twice as broad as long, narrowed in front, the sides 

 straight, the posterior angles rounded, the median lobe only indi- 

 cated, the disc entirely impunctate. Scutellum large, triaugular. 

 Elytra feebly lobed below the shoulders at the margins, with traces 

 of two or three short sulci near the apex, when seen in certain 

 lights ; each elytron with a large subtriangular black patch on the 

 lateral margin near the apex. The female has shorter legs and a 

 shallow fovea on the last abdominal segment. 



Length 8-10 mm. 



Hob. Malabar. 



In most specimens the base of the femora is more or less 

 fulvous. This is a large species, much resembling one belonging 

 to the genus Glytra. 



Genus PSEUDOCLYTRA, nov. 



Type, P. andrewesi, Jac., from Western India. 



Range. India. 



<$ . Elongate and subcylindical ; head normal ; eyes large ; 

 antennae rather robust, third joint much smaller than second, 

 fourth trigonal, following joints very strongly transversely widened. 

 Thorax half as broad again as long, sides rounded, slightly narrowed 

 in front, very narrowly margined, basal margin with median lobe 

 broad, very slightly produced and truncate. Scutellum very broad, 

 triaugular. Elytra elongate, covering the pygidium, sides without 

 humeral produced lobes ; epipleurae clothed with long pubescence. 

 Anterior legs elongate, their tarsi also longer than ordinary, 

 furnished like the underside with long pubescence. 



This genus is proposed for two species from India that have the 

 general appearance of Glytra, but belong to the group that possesses 

 elongate anterior legs and tarsi ; the long pubescence of the elytral 

 epi pleurae and of the tarsi is not found in any other genus of the 

 Cl.ytrince.
