broad again as long, sides rounded and widened at the middle, 

 with shallow but distinct transverse depression anteriorly ; surface 

 rather convex, punctured and pubescent like the head. Scutellum 

 subquadrate, pun t; red and pubescent. Elytra oblong, narrowed 

 at the apex, shoulders prominent and acute ; surface finely and 

 closely rugose-punctate, clothed with silvery pubescence. Under- 

 side greenish-aeneous, very sparingly punctured and pubescent; 

 femora rather elongate with an acute tooth.

The amount of fulvous on the tibiae is variable ; sometimes 

 this colour is bright and well distributed, at other times it is 

 confined more to the sides or beneath. The species differs from 

 E. orientalis, Jac. in the much less strongly widened and convex 

 thorax and shorter shape of the latter. 



761. Eubrachis andamanensis, sp. n. 



Dark aeneous, finely pubescent ; basal six joints of the antennae 

 fulvous. 



Head finely longitudinally strigose and sparingly punctured ; 

 clypeus deeply subtriangularly emarginate ; labrum fulvous ; 

 antennae scarcely extending to base of thorax, basal joint thick 

 and short, second scarcely shorter but less thick, following two 

 joints short and more slender, terminal five strongly thickened. 

 Thorax scarcely half as broad again as long, sides rounded but 

 scarcely widened ; surface with obsolete transverse sulcus near the 

 anterior margin, very closely and evenly punctured ; interstices 

 not wrinkled, finely pubescent. Scutellum broadly subquadrate, 

 nearly smooth. Elytra about twice as long as the thorax, slightly 

 depressed below the base ; puncturation stronger than that on the 

 thorax, very close, finer and more remote towards the apex ; inter- 

 stices finely wrinkled at base ; pubescence short and erect, silvery 

 in colour. Femora dark aeneous, robust, with a strong tooth 

 beneath. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hob. Andamans (Coll. Jacoby). 



'* Differs from E. rufotibialis, Jac. in the finely strigose head, 

 the strigae directed towards the centre, in the entirely dark 

 aeneous legs and finely rugose basal portion of the elytra. The 

 type specimen seems to be a female.
