Pale ivitli darker longitudinal stripes. 



211. Gynandrophthalma nigrosuturalis, sp. n. 



Flavous ; antennae, tibiae, tarsi and breast more or less black. 

 Elytra with suture and margins deep black. 



Head impunctate ; eyes large ; labrum black ; clypeus with some 

 narrow sinuate depressions at base that indicate the separation 

 from the face ; antennae black, basal two or three joints flavous. 

 Thorax nearly three times as broad as long, sides rounded, surface 

 very shining, impunctate. Scutellurn black, broad and convex. 

 Elytra subcylindrical and elongate, very finely and rather remotely 

 punctured, punctures here and there arranged in irregular rows, 

 the sutural black stripe angularly widened below base, the lateral 

 stripe gradually but slightly widened at middle and at apex. 



Length 3 mm. 



Hab. Nilgiris (//. L. Andrewes). 



Larger than G. planifrons ; head and thorax without band and 

 spot, elytral black margins broader and deep black. 



212. Gynandrophthalma erucipennis, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; the head and breast black ; elytra flavous, a marginal 

 band, widened at the base and apex, and a sutural spot behind the 

 middle black ; legs flavous, tarsi fuscous. 



Head black on the upper portion, the middle with a punctured 

 depression of elongate shape, lower portion fulvous, labrum black ; 

 eyes large ; antennae black, extending to the base of the elytra 

 ( $ ), the basal two or three joints fulvous ; fourth and following 

 joints strongly transverse. Thorax scarcely twice as broad as long, 

 fulvous, shining, the lateral margins straight, the posterior angles 

 rounded, the basal margin with a scarcely perceptibly produced 

 median lobe ; the surface impunctate, very shining, fulvous. 

 Scutellum broad, trigonal, impunctate, black. Elytra rather 

 elongate, slightly transversely depressed below the base, very 

 feebly lobed at the shoulders, finely punctured in closely approxi- 

 mate irregular rows, a black longitudinal stripe along the sides 

 that widens at the base into a large spot and at the apex into a 

 transverse band, the suture is likewise narrowly black and a 

 transverse short band extends across it behind the middle. Body 

 below finely pubescent, the breast black, the abdomen more or less 

 fulvous but stained with piceous ; apex of the tibiae and the tarsi 

 slightly stained with fuscous, the first joint cf the latter rather 

 elongate, about as long as the following two joints united ; anterior 

 legs of the male longer than the others. 



Length 21 mm. 



Hab. Burma : Euby Mines (Doherty). Type in Brit. Mus. 



The above description is that of the male ; in the female the 

 entire head is black, the antennae and legs are shorter and the 

 elytra are more strongly punctured. In both sexes the pygidium 

 is covered by the elytra, but in the male it is of a more elongate 

 subcylindrical shape.
