GILBEET J. AEEOW— COLEOPTERA. 199 



cordiform, with the sides gently and uniformly curved and broadly margined and the 

 apices scarcely produced. 



Several specimens were collected. 



EpILACHNA GEiMMIFERA, sp. n. (Plate VII. fig. 10.) 



Elongata, nigra, elytris punctis duobus pallide flavis utrinque ornatis, uno humerali 

 aiteroque anteapicali; corpus sat dense pubescens, prothorace haud lato, postice 

 leviter lobato ; elytris conjunctim longe cordiformibus, coriaceis, haud punctatis, 

 lateribus leviter et regulariter arcuatis et raarginatis ; unguibus longe et late 

 bifidis. 

 Long. 65 mm. Lat. max. 4*5 mm.

This is similar to the last species in its colour and markings, but smaller and much 

 more elongate, the elytral spots are pale yellow and the anterior one is placed upon 

 the humeral callus and not behind it. The pubescence is rather fine and close, and 

 produces the effect of a bluish bloom upon the black surface. 

 The unique specimen is apparently a male. 



Epilachna lucifera, sp. n. (Plate VII. fig. 11.) 



Nigra, elytris fulvo-rufis, punctis duobus pallide flavis utrinque ornatis, primo 

 humerali calloso aiteroque anteapicali ; corpus tenuiter pubescens ; prothorace 

 nitido, haud lato, basi late sat regulariter arcuato ; elytris fortiter fere rugose 

 punctatis, conjunctim longe cordiformibus, late marginatis, humeris prominentibus, 

 apicibus productis ; pedibus sat longis, unguibus profunde fissis, basi angulatim 

 appendiculatis : 

 S , abdominis segmentis 4° et 5° in marginis posticae medio impressis, 6° longi- 



tudinaliter profunde sulcato. 

 Long. 9 mm. Lat. max. 6'5 mm.

This is black, with the elytra of a peculiar livid brown-pink, each having a round 

 yellow spot at the shoulder and another towards the apex. The sculpture is very 

 coarse and the pubescence fine. The elytra are very convex and considerably 

 produced behind, and there is a broad flange at the outer edge of each especially 

 developed near the shoulder, which is a little impressed externally, causing the yellow- 

 spotted callus to stand out very prominently. 

 The single specimen is apparently a female.
