.ETHEOMOBPHA. 131 



on abdomen black. First joint of tarsi double the length of second. 

 Pygidiura free. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hob. S. Bombay : Kanara. 



This species, on account of the transverse thorax and length 

 of the tarsi, agrees better with the characters of JEtlieomorpha 

 than with those of AspidolopJta. The extreme apical elytral spot 

 is absent in some specimens. 



234. JEtheomorpha tripunctata, sp. n. 



Fulvous; terminal joints of antennae, breast and abdomen 

 black ; elytra with three small black spots on each (2 . 1). 



Bather broadly subcylindrical ; head impunctate, with three 

 deep foveae, placed triangularly ; eyes large ; clypeus moderately 

 emarginate in front ; antennae short, basal three joints fulvous, 

 rest black, fourth and following joints strongly transverse. 

 Thorax about two and a half times broader than long, lateral 

 margins rather strongly rounded, posterior angles indistinct, 

 median lobe very short; surface convex, impunctate, with an 

 irregularly shaped fovea at each side near base. Scutellum 

 pointed, broad. Elytra distinctly lobed at the sides behind the 

 shoulders, convex, finely punctured in closely approximate rows ; 

 apex nearly impunctate ; each elytron with a small humeral spot, 

 another near the scutellum and a third on the middle close to the 

 lateral margins. Abdomen strongly inflated, finely pubescent, 

 breast also pubescent ; legs fulvous. First joint of tarsi twice as 

 long as second. Pygidium uncovered. 



Length 4^ mm.

Described from a single specimen. 



235. JEtheoinorpha assamensis, sp. n. 



Flavous ; labrum, antennae and scutellum black ; elytra yellow- 

 ish, the margins narrowly and three spots, one below the other, 

 on each elytron, black. 



Subcylindrical, nearly parallel -sided ; the head impunctate, with 

 three small foveae, placed triangularly ; antennae with the basal 

 three joints flavous, fourth and following joints transverse. 

 Thorax nearly three times as broad as long, the sides nearly 

 straight, the posterior angles indistinct, surface impunctate, 

 with a short transverse depression near posterior angles. Scu- 

 tellum broadly triangular, impunctate. Elytra with short lateral 

 humeral lobes, very strongly punctured, the punctures form 

 rather irregular but distinct rows and get minute towards the 

 apex, all the margins narrowly black ; of the spots, one is 

 placed on the humeral callus, the other on the middle and the
