1897.] OF THE FAMILY ENUOMYCHID-I. 461 



Mas : abdomine medio late depresso, utrinque alte cai-inato, segmento 

 quinto ventrali arcuathn emarginato. 



Hah. India, N.E. Manipur (Doherty), Dunsiri Valley (H. H. 

 Qodivin-Austen, Mus, Calcutta). 



This species is nearly allied to E. hardwicJcii {ccelestinus, Gerst.), 

 from which it is distinguished by the more shining elytra, which 

 have the yellow spots larger and more nearly united, leaving a much 

 narrower fascia across the middle, the two posterior touch the 

 margin and leave the suture only very narrowly violet. The 

 elytra are of a diiferent form, being more parallel and narrower, 

 especially in the male. The spots do not pass the limb of the 

 margin, the epipleurae being dark. I have been acquainted with 

 this insect for some years from very old examples from the Cal- 

 cutta Museum. Mr. Doherty has, however, sent half a dozen 

 beautiful specimens from Manipur. 



EucTEANUS DOHERTTi, n. sp. (Plate XXXII. fig. 11.) 



E. marseuli, GorJiain, simllis et affinis ; breviter oblongus, nigro- 

 cceruleus, violaceo-micans, nitidus, crebre, minute, sed distincte 

 pundat^is ; antennarum capitulo late dilatato ; elytris maculis 

 quatuor niagnis, dilute aurantiacis, posteriore plerumque trans- 

 versa. Long. 8-5-9'5 millim. 2 '^ 



Hah. India, Manipur {Doherty). Burma, Euby Mines {Doherty). 



The head and thorax are shining, thickly but distinctly punc- 

 tured ; the latter has an oblique transverse fovea on each side, the 

 front is also transversely impressed, and there is an irregular 

 fovea in the middle of the base. The elytra are thickly punctured, 

 the pu7ictures often confluent in lines. The antennae have the 

 third, fourth, and fifth joints subequal, but gradually decreasing in 

 length to the eighth ; the ninth is as long as the third and only a 

 little widened ; the tenth is obconic, nearly equilateral, the apical 

 joint enormously enlarged and spathulate. The eyes are but 

 moderately, but under a quarter-inch focus distinctly granulate. 

 The underside is closely and very finely punctured, shining and 

 black. The shoulders are ridged but not projecting, nor is the 

 ridge sharp, it in fact ruus on to beyond the middle and forms a 

 sort of false epipleui-a ; the true epipleurse are black and defined 

 at the shoulder by an indented line. This character will dis- 

 tinguish E. dohertyi from E. marseuli, where the ridge is acute and 

 does not extend beyond the yellow shoulder-spot. 



Although there are eight specimens of this in Mr. Fry's 

 collection, I do not find any sexual distinction, and therefore 

 possibly all are females ; but of several examples of E. marseuli 

 that I have had the opportunity of examining, and of all the 

 specimens of BoTbomorphi to which they are allied, the same 

 remark applies. 



BoLBOMOEPHUS THERYi, n. sp. (Plate XXXII. fig. 9.) 



Oblongus, elytris ovatis, niger, nitidtis, crebre ac distincte punctatus ; 

 elytris singulis signatura jlava e fasciis duabus denticidatis per
