medio interruptaj 2.^ brevissima et appendiculata; propygidio cir- 

 cum punctata ; pygidio dense et for titer punctata. Long. 11-11 Y2 'ì^^M' 



Broad, flat, black and shining; head and thorax transverse; 

 forehead almost imperceptibly punctulate, without striae ; thorax 

 bisinuate at the base broadly margined with large punctures, 

 a few confluent, with a median line more or less distinct, mar- 

 ginal stria at the sides only; elytra widen out a little behind 

 the shoulder, 1.^ stria rather widely interrupted in the middle, 

 2.* short and oblique at the base, appearing again as a short 

 line at the apical margin; propygidium with large scattered 

 punctures on the outer parts with the centre nearly smooth ; 

 pygidium deeply and quite closely punctate; prosternum rather 

 broad without sculpture ; mesosternum widely emarginate, striate 

 on each side of the emargination ; anterior tibiae 4-dentate. 



c/ the anterior angle of the thorax in this fine species is 

 emarginate with a shallow fovea close to the gape, mandibles 

 long and somewhat hooked at the tips. 



In Hololepta indica the anterior part of the mesosternum, the 

 part outside the emargination, is somewhat oblique, in H. Baulnyi 

 less oblique , in //. Feae it is nearly straight or transverse owing 

 no doubt to the greater breadth of the species. 



A small series has been taken in the Garin Gheba district 

 9-1100 feet, December 5.*'' 1888 and I have much pleasure in 

 naming it after Signor L. Fea.
