(Shining black, with the elytra opaque and sooty except at 

 the inner margins, and with a lemon-yellow patch beyond 

 the middle of each, broad at the outer margin and pointed at 

 its inner extremity. The form is depressed, broad at the 

 shoulders, with the head small and the elytra straight at the 

 sides and strongly narrowing towards the extremity. The 

 head is strongly punctured, with the clypeus long, narrowing 

 towards the front, where it is rather deeply notched, and not 

 at all reflexed at the margin. The prothorax is convex, 

 coarsely punctured, with the sides strongly margined, and 

 angulated in the middle. The scutellum is rather small, 

 pointed, and impunctate. The elytra are coarsely striate- 

 punctate, with the margins strongly siimated beliind the 

 shoulders and minutely excised at the extremities, and the 

 apical angles acute. The pygidiuni is feebly punctured and 

 the metasternum and abdomen coarsely, except at the middle. 

 The sternal process is compressed, truncated in front, and 

 directed obliquely downwards. The front tibiae are 3-dentafe 

 in the female, but the uppermost tooth is almost obsolete in 

 the male. In the latter the prothorax is broader at the base 

 and the apical angles of the elytra are strongly spinose. 



The type specimen is a female found by lioepstorfF in the 

 Andamans. There is a male in the Calcutta Museum labellei 

 " Kangoon," probably by mistake. 



The only other known species of Glycosia are G. tricolor, 

 Oliv., and G, palliata, Mohn.
