PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA. PROM BURMA 983 



Apparently closely allied to M. alhofasciata, Jac. from Java 

 but differing in the colour of the head, antennae and underside, 

 of the variety there is only a single specimen before me only 

 differing in the white apex of the elytra. 



156. M!on.olepta alTboplag-iata , n.]sp. 



Black, the basal joints of the antennae , the thorax and the 

 legs llavous, elytra very finely punctured, black, each with a 

 round white spot before and another below the middle. 



Length 1 V2 line. 



Head black , shining and impunctate , the frontal elevations 

 distinct , eyes large , antennae extending to rather more than 

 half the length of the elytra , slender , black , the lower three 

 joints flavous ; thorax nearly twice as broad as long, the sides 

 nearly straight , the posterior margin but moderately rounded, 

 the surface convex, flavous, impunctate ; scutellum black ; elytra 

 very finely punctured with a large round spot before and another 

 below the middle , white ; legs flavous , the first joint of the 

 posterior tarsi much longer than the following joints together, 

 anterior coxal cavities closed. 



Bhamo and Palon (Pegu). 



157. IMConolepta alTbofasciata , Jac. 



I overlooked that I have already used this name for a Mono- 

 lepta from Java and therefore alter the above name to M. fascia- 

 tipennis. 



158. Monolepta g-estroi, n. sp. 



Fulvous, the head at the base, the antennae (the basal joints 

 excepted) and the legs more or less black, the thorax flavous, 

 impunctate, elytra nearly impunctate, reddish-fulvous, the basal 

 margin and two transverse narrow bands below the middle , 

 black, the space between the latter flavous.
