68 MR. M. JACOBY ON THE [Feb. I, 



projected into a small tooth or tubercle vvlien viewed from above. 

 In the variety the elytra are blue, with a broad discoidal and a 

 narrow lateral longitudinal baud, which iu another specimen are just 

 indicated, thus proving the identity with the type, with which they 

 agree iu every other respect : this variety seems to be closely allied 

 to L. 1-iifo-ornata, Clark, in which the elytra, however, are black 

 and the underside fulvous. 



Crioceris semipunctata, Fabr. 



Kitulgalle, 1 700 feet. 



Two specimens, evidently females, were obtained by Mr. Lewis, 

 which agree very nearly with the Malayan forms ; the antennse are 

 very short and robust, and the terminal joints are transversely quad- 

 rate ; the punctuation of the elytra is only visible anteriorly, no 

 traces of any punctures are seen below the middle ; below the 

 shoulders, close to the lateral margin, a short and very deep row of 

 punctures, interrupted in the middle, are seen — a character which I 

 do not find mentioned by Lacordaire, with whose description the 

 Ceylonese specimens agree in all other respects. 



DiAPROMORPHA QUADRIPUNCTATA, Sp. UOV. 



Pale fulvous, finely pubescent below ; the antennae black, the 

 four basal joints fulvous ; thorax very minutely, elytra closely and 

 distinctly punctured, each elytron with four black spots (2 2). 



Length 3 lines. 



Head impunctate, flattened between the eyes, and with an obsolete 

 triangular depression ; eyes slightly notched at their inner margin. 

 Antennse short, the third joint shorter and much thinner than the 

 second, the fifth and following joints transverse. Thorax three 

 times as broad as long, the sides slightly rounded and narrowed in 

 front, the posterior margin straight at the sides, broadly truncate 

 at the middle ; surface with an obsolete transverse groove at each 

 side, very finely and rather distantly punctured. Scutellnm impunc- 

 tate, its apex slightly raised. Elytra subcylindrical, distinctly lobed 

 at the sides near the base, very closely and distinctly punctured, 

 with some obsolete longitudinal smooth lines ; each elytron with two 

 black spots, placed transversely below the base and two others below 

 the middle, in a line with the anterior spots, the outer one, however, 

 being placed slightly higher ; the first joint of the posterior tarsi 

 distinctly longer than the second. 



There is only a single specimen, evidently a female, before me. 



Chlamys pallifrons, sp. nov. 



Brownish black ; basal joint of the antennse testaceous ; lower 

 part of the face flavcus ; thorax elevated behind, closely granulate- 

 punctate, spotted with fulvous in front and at the base; elytra dis- 

 tinctly punctured, with an oblique ridge at the middle of the disk, 

 a shorter one at the shoulder, and several tubercles at the sides and 

 apices. 



Length 1 line.
