GYtfANDBOPHTHALMA, 113 



This species, of which I received a typical specimen, seems 

 best placed in the present genus. The elytral spot or patch is 

 subject to enlargement and in this case the species resembles 

 Glytra (Pseudoclytra) play'iata, Duv., but differs from it in shape 

 and elytral puncturation. 



Elytra flavous or fulvous. 



200. Gynandrophthalma planifrons, sp. u. 



Flavous ; base of head, a spot on anterior part of thorax, scu- 

 tellurn, margins of elytra and breast black. 



Narrowly elongate, head very broad and flat, impunctate, vertex 

 crossed by a black transverse band ; clypeus not separated from 

 face; antennae black, basal four joints flavous, fifth and following 

 joints strongly transverse. Thorax rather more than twice as 

 broad as long, sides rounded, narrowly margined ; surface im- 

 punctate, transversely depressed in front of scutellum, a large 

 black patch on the middle of the anterior margin extending 

 downwards nearly to the base. Scutelluui very broad, pointed. 

 Elytra slightly depressed below base across suture, not perceptibly 

 punctured, all the margins narrowly black, this black border 

 indistinctly widened at apex. Legs and abdomen flavous ; breast 

 black. 



Length 2 mm. 



Hab. Nifgiris. Type in Coll. H. E. Andrewes. 



A very small species not difficult to recognize by its peculiar 

 coloration.

ii, 1848, p. 268. 



$ . Entirely pale flavous ; moderately elongate, rather convex 

 and parallel-sided. Head produced, alutaceous ; clypeus semi- 

 circularly emarginate ; eyes very large and convex ; antenna? 

 slender, feebly dentate, distinctly longer than the thorax. 

 Thorax at least twice as broad as long, subcylindrical, feebly 

 rounded at the sides ; median lobe large but very short, posterior 

 angles distinct ; surface entirely impunctate. Scutellum smooth, 

 subtriangularly elongate and raised. Elytra scarcely sinuate at 

 sides, very finely punctured in rows. Legs short, slender ; tarsi 

 very short, the first two joints trigonal, equal. 



Length 5 mm. 



Hab. India. 



Closely resembles at first sight certain species of true Chryso- 

 mela. 



202. Gynandrophthalma ceylonica, sp. n. 



d . Flavous ; elytra fulvous. Head flat, without depressions ; 

 clypeus not separated from face, its anterior border triangularly
