GYNANDBOPHTHALMA. Ill 



196. Gynandrophthalma cochinchinensis, Lefev. Ann. Soc. Ent. 



France, 1889, p. 290. 



Gvnandrophthalma birmanica, Jac. Ann. Mils. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 

 '1892, p. 885. 



Fulvous ; breast, apex of abdomen and pygidium blackish ; elytra 

 with two round bluish-black spots (one humeral and one between 

 shoulders and scutellum), also a transverse 

 broad patch, more or less widened at the sides ; 

 legs fulvous. 



Head obsoletely bi-impressed between the 

 eyes ; antennae black, basal two joints fulvous. 

 Thorax smooth. Elytra rather strongly and 

 irregularly punctured, punctures obsolete 

 behind the middle. 

 Length 5-5 5 mm. 

 Hob. Burma; Cochinchina. 

 Allied to G. malayana, Baly, but the 

 Fig. 27. elytra much more strongly punctured and 



Gynandrophthalma differently marked. Although in the Burmese 

 cochinchinensis. variety (G. birmanica, Jac.) the head is some- 

 times marked with black at the vertex and the 

 elytral puncturation is rather more strongly impressed, I think 

 it cannot be specifically separated on such slight variations. 



197. Gynandrophthalma assamensis, sp. n. 



Testaceous ; labrum black ; antennae with terminal fuscous 

 joints. Thorax with four obsolete spots. Elytra with three spots 

 at base, two at middle, lateral margins posteriorly and suture 

 black. Legs testaceous, tarsi fuscous. 



Head impunctate, with a round deep fovea between the eyes, 

 the vertex with an obscure black spot at the base; eyes very 

 large ; clypeus not separated, its anterior margin feebly concave ; 

 labruni black; antennae fuscous, with the fourth and following 

 joints strongly transversely serrate, the basal three joints testa- 

 ceous. Thorax nearly three times as broad as long ; the sides 

 rounded, posterior angles distinct, the median lobe feebly but 

 broadly produced ; the disc impunctate, with four obscure piceous 

 spots, placed transversely. Scutellum very broad, its apex ob- 

 tusely rounded, piceous. Elytra subquadrately oblong, strongly 

 and closely punctured anteriorly, very finely and much more 

 distantly so towards the middle ; each elvtron with five black 

 spots, of which one is placed on the humeral callus, a more elon- 

 gate one between the first spot and the suture and the third at the 

 lateral margin, the other spots are placed on the middle and are 

 of more transverse shape, the outer spot is attached to the black 

 margin, the latter surrounds the apex ; the sutural margins are 

 likewise black and this colour widens into a short stripe below 

 the scutellum. Tarsi fuscous, the first joint slightly longer than
