CHBYSOLAMPEA. 291 



or less wrinkled, obsoletely costate near the suture at apex. Coxae 

 and extreme apex of tibiae obscurely piceous. 



Length 6 mm. 



Hab. Burma : Euby Mines. Type in Brit. Mus. 



In this species the thorax is widest at middle, the sides are 

 strongly rounded, and the anterior angles very prominent; the 

 elytra are much more strongly and closely punctured than in 

 C. manipvrensis. 



497. Chrysolampra indica, sp. n. 



Metallic greenish-cupreous ; basal joints of antennae fulvous, 

 rest black ; legs blackish-aeneous. 



<5 . Head closely and finely punctured, vertex with longitudinal 

 depression at middle, a smooth oblong space at base of antennae ; 

 clypeus triangular, closely rugose-punctate ; labrum dark fulvous ; 

 mandibles black ; antennae with the basal four joints fulvous, 

 rest blackish, all the joints from the third onwards very elongate. 

 Thorax about half as broad again as long, sides evenly rounded, 

 narrowly margined ; puncturation rather fine, distant and irregu- 

 larly placed, though not more closely or strongly on the sides 

 than in the middle. Elytra subcylindrical, twice as strongly 

 punctured as the thorax ; punctures arranged in close irregular 

 rows near suture, larger and much more irregularly placed at 

 sides, interstices on the sides transversely rugose. Body beneath 

 greenish-aeneous ; legs nearly black with metallic gloss ; first joint 

 of tarsi subquadrately widened. 



Length 5-5| mm. 



Hob. Assam : Shillong, Khasi Hills ; Burma : Momeit. 



Group NODOSTOMINI. 



Body oblong, ovate or subelongate ; antennae filiform or sub- 

 filiform. Thorax transverse or subquadrate, lateral margins 

 rounded or angulate at base. Apex of intermediate and posterior 

 tibiae emarginate ; claws appendiculate. Prosternum broad ; 

 anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 



Represented in India by a large number of closely allied species. 

 The thorax is as a rule narrowed anteriorly and angulate at the 

 sides near base, but also often rounded ; the elytra have generally 

 a deep depression behind the base.
