2. Helota Feae, spec. nov. 
— Two female specimens, captured by Mr. Fea in n. 1888 
in the Carin mounts, Cheba district, at an elevation of 900-1100 
meter above the level of the sea. 
These two specimens differ somewhat in size, the larger one 
measuring 17 millim. in length, the smaller one 14 millim. 
Shining; rather narrow, elongate, narrowed in front and 
behind; the colour of the upper surface is bronze, here and 
there with brassy and coppery tinges; the antennae reddish 
testaceous at the base, gradually passing into dark pitchy 
towards the end, the apical joint of the club yellowish, the scape 
infuscate at the tip in front; a parallel streak along the sides 
of the pronotum, as broad as the protruding front angles, red- 
dish testaceous, the crenulate margin, however, dark pitchy; the 
elytra on the shoulders with a reddish tinge, which extends 
slightly backwards; the four convex yellow spots small, some- 
what variable in shape, and situated between the 3" and 6” 
striae. The colour of the underside is reddish testaceous, with 
the exception of the head (the throat alone has a testaceous co- 
lour), a streak surrounding the anterior coxae, and the elytral 
epipleurae, these parts being respectively of a brassy or bronze 
colour; the legs are reddish testaceous, with the trochanters, the 
apex of the femora, the base and apex of the tibiae and the 
tarsi (with the exception of the basal half of the claw-joint) 
dark pitchy or black, whereas an infuscate stripe is present 
along the upperside of the anterior femora. 
Head strongly produced in front of the eyes, slightly raised 
along the middle, deeply punctured, the punctures in the raised 
middle portion large and rather distant, near the eyes they are 
smaller and placed very close together, in front they are small- 
est; underneath the brassy middle portion of the head shows 
a few punctures of different size. 
Prothorax widest at the base, gradually narrowing towards the 
front; the sides very faintly curved and finely but distinctly 
crenulate; the front angles strongly produced, narrowly rounded; 
the base deeply bisinuate, the lateral angles acute, the central
