angles, wliich are right but not sharp, median line and trans- 

 verse impressions well marked, basal foveas large and fairly 

 deep, surface smooth except over the fovese and for a short 

 distance forwards along sides, where it is coarsely punctate 

 and pubescent. 



Elytra (T'O ram. long) short, rather convex, border forming 

 a very obtuse angle at shoulder, and only faintly sinuate near 

 apex, punctulate-striate, intervals convex on disk, much 

 flatter at sides, the first four (where black) smooth, except 

 for an irregular row of setiferous punctures along each side 

 of the striae, the rest of the surface closely punctate and 

 pubescent, the puncturation rather coarse, the buff colour 

 extending forwards along interval 9 and covering the shoulder, 

 but not extending inwards beyond the base of stria 5. 



Underside finely punctate and pubescent, but smoother 

 down the middle line of the body, prosternal process not 

 bordered, a few small seta} at apex, metepisterna much longer 

 than wide, tarsi with a few minute setae on upper surface. 



Nearly related to C. kolariensis, Maindr., from Chota 

 Nagpur, but larger, prothorax with blunter hind angles and 

 quite without the minute rugosity of the base in that species ; 

 the median elytral intervals are more evidently smooth, and 

 the square black patch projected backwards from the black 

 basal area gives the species a very distinctive facies.

 1 ex., ? . 



The type is in the British Museum. 



Chlcenius corbetti, $ . 



Length 17 mm. ; width 6*25 mm. 



Dark green-blue; head and prothorax metallic green, latter 

 copper-red on disk, elytra green-blue with middle of intervals 

 blackish ; legs, palpi, antennae (lighter at apex), and labrum 

 red. 



Head (3*0 mm. wide) shiny, almost smooth, a very few 

 punctures on sides and vertex, frontal foveas obsolete, eyes 

 fairly prominent, palpi slender, joint 3 of antennas sparsely 

 pilose, slightly curved, half as long again as 1. 



Prothorax transverse (4x3*5 mm.), widest before middle, 

 rather flat but declivous towards front angles, emarginate at 

 extremities, sides rounded, sinuate at some distance from base, 

 hind angles about right, projecting a little laterally, sides of 

 base advancing towards them ; median line fine, but rather 

 deeply impressed, basal foveas elongate, fairly dee}), curving
