above the eyes *. The Indian species at present placed in this 

 genus seem to differ in the non-angulate sides of the thorax, but 

 agree in all other respects with Lefevre's description. The group 

 is represented in India by a single genus only. 



Genus PAGRIA. 



Pa#ria, Lejev. Bull Soc. Ent. France, 1884, p. Ixvii; id. Cat. 

 Eumolp. 1885, p. 62. 



Type, P. suturalis, Lefev., from Africa. 

 Range. Africa ; India ; Sumatra ; Java. 

 Characters those of the group. 



630. Pagria flavo-pustulata, Baly (Nodostoma), Trans. Ent. Soe. 



1874, p. 169. 



Black ; antennae flavous, terminal joints darker ; labrum and 

 legs flavous. Elytra nearly black, a small spot at base within 

 shoulders flavous. 



Length 2 mm. 



Hob. India : Belgaum ; Japan ; Sumatra ( Coll. Jacoby). 



This species seems to differ from P. signata, Motsch. in colora- 

 tion only. It is quite possible that P. sumatrensis, Lefev., and 

 P. ceneicollis, Lefev., both from Sumatra, are varieties of the present 

 species, which in turn may be another variety of P. signata, but I 

 have not seen at present any intermediate forms. 



631. Pagria signata, Motsch. (Metachroma) Stud. Ent. 1858, p. 110. 

 Nodostoma consimile, Baly, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1874, p. 168. 



Fig. 125. Pagria signata. 



" Testaceous ; beneath more or less fuscous ; base of head, 

 thorax, suture of elytra and two spots below base, black. 



* Pagria bipunctata, Lefv. excepted.
