188 CHKYSOMELIDJE. 



broadly fulvous, the separating line of the colours not well defined. 

 Scutellum lanceolate. Elytra rather strongly punctate-striate, 

 punctures deeper at sides, last three interstices strongly costate, 

 others flat, all the rows commence immediately below the base, the 

 first puncture of each row foveolate. Sides of breast with several 

 rows of punctures. 



Length 2 mm. 



Hob. Assam : jXaga Hills (Coll. Brit. Mus.). 



Larger than most of its congeners and with differently coloured 

 thorax, elytral puncturation stronger and interstices at sides more 

 strongly costate. 



327. Coenobius fulvicornis, sp. n. 



Black ; head, antennae and legs fulvous. 



Head with a few fine punctures on its lower portion ; antennae 

 with terminal joints only moderately thickened, submoniliform, 

 second joint strongly widened, third and fourth very small. 

 Thorax short and transverse, disc entirely impunctate, sides with 

 some distinct punctures, basal margin short and pointed but not 

 produced at middle, with a row of deep punctures. Scutellum very 

 narrowly elongate. Elytra very finely punctate-striate at inner 

 disc, punctures entirely obsolete at sides, last two interstices 

 distinctly costate, others flat. Sides of breast nearly impunctate. 



Length 1| mm. 



Hab. Assam : Patkai Mts. (Coll. Bnt. Mus.\ 



Differs from its nearest allies in the entirely fulvous head and 

 antennae and in the sides of the thorax which are punctured near 

 the base, but whether these differences are constant or due to 

 variation it is impossible to say without more material for 

 examination. I have seen only two specimens, these are alike. 



328. Ccenobius fulvipes, Baly, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 213. 



Piceous ; basal joints of antennae and legs pale fulvous, face 

 fulvo-piceous. 



" Face rugulose ; vertex black ; labrurn fulvous ; basal two joints 

 of antennae pale fulvous, rest absent in the only specimen available 

 for examination. Thorax rather more than twice as broad as long, 

 sides rounded and strongly convergent from base to apex, hinder 

 angles posteriorly produced, acute, basal margin oblique, medial 

 lobe acute, above transversely convex ; surface more coarsely and 

 closely punctured than in C. chinensis, Baly, apical margin bordered 

 with a deep transverse groove, basal margin narrowly edged with 

 black, bordered with a single row of punctures, less defined than 

 in C. chinensis. Elytra finely punctate-striate, striae each im- 

 pressed with a single row of fine linear punctures, narrowly and 

 faintly sulcate on the inner disc, more strongly so on the outer, 

 interstices plain on anterior portion of inner disc, slightlv convex 

 towards apex, more strongly convex for their whole length on outer
