Genus Cgkchyldctenia Spaeth. 



In his recent Catalogue of the Cassidinae (Berlin,, 1914) 

 Dr. Spaeth has entirely omitted Bohenxan's species Cassida 

 nigrovittata (Boh. Mon. Cassid. ii. 1854, ja. 341). There are 

 two examples, including the type, in the British Museum which 

 Boheman' records from Calcutta. I have seen a third example 

 in Mr. Andrewes' collection which is from Chota I^agpur, India. 

 The exaixiination of these specimens reveals the fact that they 

 cannot belong to the genus Cassida. But they agree well with 

 the characters of Conchyloctenia as defined by Spaeth (Ann. 

 Soc. Ent. Belg. 1902, p. 449). In the form of the body the 

 species resembles the iigrina group ; the tibise are also sulcate on 

 the extei-nal side ; nigrovittata, therefore,, must come under 

 Conchyloctenia. It is inter-esting to note that all the species 

 recorded under C'oncliytoctenia are found in Africa. This 

 species therefore extends the distribution of the genus to the 

 Oriental region.
