184 CHRYSOMELIDJE. 



316. Ccenobius manipurensis, sp. n. 



Black ; basal joints of the antennae flavous : clypeus and legs 

 more or less piceous or obscure fulvous. 



Antennae with the basal four or five joints fulvous or flavous. 

 Thorax impunctate with the exception of a single row of punctures 

 on the posterior margin and a few near the posterior angles ; 

 median lobe short and acute. Elytra with closely placed punc- 

 tures, interstices convex at sides but feebly so on disc. Sides of 

 breast rather closely punctured. 



Length 1| mm. 



Hal. Manipur (Coll. Brit. Mus.}. 



Evidently closely allied to C. iiisularis, Weise, from Ceylon, but 

 the legs are black not testaceous, the knees and tarsi obscure 

 fulvous ; the thorax has some additional punctures near the pos- 

 terior angles and the median lobe is pointed, not rounded ; the 

 thorax has no oblique lateral grooves. In this respect it agrees 

 with "YVeise's species, but the clypeus is more or less fulvous. 



317. Ccenobius andrewesi, sp. n. 



Black ; basal joints of antennae fulvous ; tarsi piceous. 



Eyes joined at top of head, the latter finely punctured in the 

 middle ; terminal six joints of antennae thickened, black, basal five 

 fulvous. Thorax very short and strongly transverse, sides evenly 

 rounded, median lobe of posterior margin strongly produced and 

 pointed, preceded by a transverse groove ; surface very finely, 

 evenly and rather closely impressed with elongate shallow punc- 

 tures. Scutellum lanceolate. Elytra short and broad, strongly 

 punctate-striate, interstices distinctly longitudinally convex, those 

 at the sides costate. Prosternum one half broader than long, flat, 

 strongly punctured, its margins not raised. Legs rather slender, 

 tarsi short and broad. Sides of breast with several rows of 

 punctures. 



Length H mm. 



Hab. Nifgiris (Coll. II. E. Andrewes). 



Thorax much more finely punctured than in C. chalceus ; the 

 general colour deep black. 



318. Ccenobius burmanicus, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 1892, 



p. 889. 



Piceous ; head, basal joints of antennae, thorax and legs fulvous; 

 elytra black ; prosternurn fulvous. 



Broad, moderately convex. Head depressed, strongly punctured 

 at lower portion ; eyes very large, contiguous or touching, broadly 

 emarginate ; antennae black, subfiliform, extending to about half 

 the length of elytra, basal four joints fulvous, third and fourth 

 equal, terminal joints slightly compressed. Thorax strongly 

 transverse, narrowed in front, sides straight, posterior median lobe
