208 CHKYSOMELIDJB. 



double the length of second, following two more elongate, rest 

 scarcely flattened, slightly darkened, basal joints flavous. Thorax 

 entirely smooth and impunctate, posterior edge narrowly black. 

 Scutellum also margined with black. Elytra of equal width, 

 slightly raised round scutellum, epipleural lobes strongly marked, 

 punctures regular, scarcely finer posteriorly, interstices flat, the 

 outer slightly raised, impunctate, the sutural elongate mark 

 extends at its narrowest part (before middle) to the second row of 

 punctures, sending off a branch anteriorly to fourth row and 

 another branch posteriorly to sixth row, nearly touching margin 

 of lateral band, outer edge of sutural band rather obsolete."

" Black ; head, thorax, outer margins of elytra and legs reddish- 

 fulvous ; thorax with two black spots. 



" Head finely and very remotely punctured ; antennae fulvous, 

 terminal joint fuscous, second joint nearly as wide as third, 

 following but slightly wider, sixth and terminal joints distinctly 

 more widened. Thorax distinctly but finely and very remotely 

 punctured, posterior margin serrate, black. Scutellum black, long 

 and narrowly triangular, foveolate at base. Elytra depressed at 

 base near scutellum, epipleural lobes short and rather obsolete ; 

 surface distinctly punctate-striate, finer posteriorly, interstices 

 finely transversely wrinkled, rather opaque from middle down- 

 wards. Pygidium black, prosternum, niesosternum and legs ful- 

 vous ; anterior margin of prosternum scarcely produced, posterior 

 angles short and blunt." (Suffrian.} 



Length 3 mm. 



Hab. Southern India. 



I have not seen any species entirely answering to Suffrian's 

 description, who says that it differs from C. vahli, var. in 

 coloration and puncturation in which way, however, is not clear. 

 In what I take to be a variety the entire elytra with the exception 

 of the epipleural lobes beneath are black.

 189o, p. 26. 



Black ; basal joints of antennae and legs fulvous, anterior and 

 lateral margins of thorax flavous ; elytra flavous, the base, con- 

 nected with a sutural lozenge-shaped band black, abbreviated at 

 apex.
