Hob. India ; Assam : Shillong. 



Can be distinguished by the nearly black disc of the thorax 

 and by the elytra having the margins narrowly flavous, also by an 

 indication more or less distinctly marked of the elytral black 

 portion being divided at the middle into two parts. 



219. Gynandrophthalma laevipennis, sp. n. 



rf . Fulvous ; elytra black, a triangularly elongate space below 

 the scutelluin and the lateral margins anteriorly more or less 

 fulvous. 



Elongate ; head with a few fine punctures and a central fovea 

 which forms the middle of n shallow transverse groove ; clypeus 

 rather slightly emarginate in front ; antennae fulvous, the terminal 

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

 feebly rounded, posterior angles distinct; median lobe only 

 indicated. Elytra nearly parallel-sided, without any trace of 

 puncturation, very shining, very feebly lobed at the sides. Body 

 beneath shining fulvous ; abdomen clothed with rather long fulvous 

 pubescence. Tarsi short, the first joint scarcely longer than the 

 second. Pygidium entirely covered. 



Length 5| mm. 



Hob. Southern India (Brit. Mus.). 



In one specimen, the black colour of the elytra extends higher 

 upwards to the base and sideways, leaving the lateral margins 

 fulvous only at their apices. 



220. Gynandrophthalma fabrei, Lefcv. Bull Soc. Ent. France, 1883, 



p. cxi. 



" Fulvous above, black beneath ; antennae with basal three 

 joints fulvous, rest black. Elytra with a very broad transverse 

 band from before middle to near apex, cyaneous. Legs fulvous, 

 base of femora, apex of tibiae and tarsi more or less dark. Thorax 

 smooth, elytra very finely punctured. 



Var. Elytra each with two blue spots, sometimes confluent 

 behind the middle. 



Length 5-6 mm. 



Hab. India: Eamuad." 



Clytra duvivieri, Jac. seems a very closely allied species, but the 

 elytral band is much smaller and the legs are entirely flavous. 

 Lefevre's description of G. fabrei, quoted above, is not detailed 

 enough for certain recognition.
