bands ; on the thorax a marginal band on each side fi'om a Httle 

 before tlie middle to the basal angles and a large Y-form central mark 

 extending from the anterior angles to the tip of the basal lobe where 

 it dilates into a large round spot ; on the scutellum a central stripe 

 dilated at the base ; on the elytra two transverse spots at the sides 

 and a broad sutural band, forked and following the margin of the 

 scutellum to the base, dilated before and again behind the middle and 

 continued along the apical margins ; on the pygidium a very broad 

 central band. The under side broadly marked with ashy-grey at the 

 sides, the femora with marginal bands of the same colour. Head 

 slightly shiny, densely and coarsely punctured, the clypeus dilated 

 and strongly rounded in front, the apical margin retlexed and broadly 

 and shallowly emarginate. Thorax rounded at the sides, broadest a 

 little before the middle, the side and basal margins slightly raised 

 and shiny, coarsely and closely punctured. Elytra with a distinct 

 median carina and rather indistinct punctured striae. Pygidium 

 closely but indistinctly punctured. Under side and legs coarsely 

 punctured ; mesosternal process short, obtuse, cariniform ; abdomen 

 slightly flattened, but not grooved, in the centre ; posterior tibiae 

 very strongly produced, keeled, and with a tuft of long yellov/ hair on 

 the inner side at the apex. Length, 14 mm.

Allied to T. zcbrcea, Fairm. (of which I have a co-type from 

 the author), but smaller, the head more closely punctured, the 

 clypeus broader, more rounded at the sides, and with the apical 

 margin reflexed and less deeply notched, the thorax more nar- 

 rowed behind, the elytra more truncate at the apex, the under 

 side less closely punctured, the abdomen in the male not im- 

 pressed, and the posterior tibige of a quite different form. The 

 markings are somewhat similar but less extended, the marginal 

 bands on the thorax are not directed inwardly behind, there is 

 no humeral spot on the elytra, and the band on the pygidium is 

 not dilated at the base. The name given is in reference to the 

 idol-like figure of the markings on the elytra. 



Tceniodera indica, n. sp. 

 Black or piceous, above opaque with sparse short golden pube- 

 scence and pale ochreous or yellowish markings disposed as follows : 

 on the head two longitudinal bands ; on the thorax an oblique vitta 

 on each side and a large Y-form central mark ; on the scutellum a 

 broad stripe slightly dilated at the base ; on the elytra a small spot 

 above the shoulder, two transverse lateral spots, a small mark at the 

 apex of the scutellum, an irregular transverse mark about the middle 

 of the suture, and a large apical mark extending a short way along 

 the suture, where it is more or less dilated ; on the pygidium a 

 central spot or vitta. Under side shining, with golden pubescence 

 and broad pale ochreous bands at the sides. Head very coarsely 

 punctured, a smooth longitudinal median carina at the base ; clypeus 

 dilated and rounded at the sides, shallowly emarginate at the apex. 

 Thorax broadest before the middle, where it is distinctly broader than
