GYNANDROPHTHALMA. 121 



217. Gynandrophthalnia flavobasalis, sp. n. 



d . Flavous ; elytra with the posterior portion black. 



Elongate and parallel-sided ; head with a deep elongate depression 

 between the eyes and a shallow transverse groove above the latter ; 

 palpi robust and thickened ; antennae not extending to base of thorax, 

 flavous, third joint elongate, triangular, following joints strongly 

 transverse. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides feebly rounded, 

 a finely punctured short transverse groove on the middle behind 

 anterior margin, posterior angles obtusely rounded ; median lobe 

 straight ; surface impunctate, some shallow transverse depressions 

 on the sides. Scutellum broadly triangular. Elytra not lobed at 

 sides, not perceptibly punctured, the flavous portion extends to 

 nearly the middle, rest of surface black. Body beneath clothed 

 with long fulvous pubescence. Anterior legs longer than the 

 others, tarsi short. 



Length 6 min. 



Hub. Southern India (Brit. Jlus.). 



Whether this species is identical with G. terminal, Lefev. from 

 Hindustan it it impossible to say, as the author has not given any 

 structural details ; he describes his species, however, as having 

 darkened antennas and legs, an elytral apical large spot and 

 scarcely perceptibly puncturing ; none of these characters applies 

 to the single male specimen before me. 



Othenuise marked.
