Hah. — India (Bretingham). 



Head subrotundate ; vertex and front granulose-reticvi- 

 late, deeply but not very closely punctured ; face broad, 

 convex between the eyes, the latter widely separated; 

 clypeus rugose-punctate; carina linear, ill-defined; en- 

 carpa3 obsolete ; labrum large, transverse, shining black, 

 its anterior surface obliquely deflexed ; antennas half the 

 length of the body, five lower joints fulvous, the rest 

 piceous. Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides straight 

 and parallel at the base, rounded and converging in fi'ont; 

 hinder angles acute, the anterior thickened, obliquely 

 truncate ; above convex, subcylindrical in front, finely 

 reticulate-granulose, impressed with moderately-sized 

 punctures, more remote and finer on the disk, coarser and 

 more crowded on the sides. Scutellum trigonate. Elytra 

 broadly ovate, slightly attenuated at the apex, the latter 

 acutely rounded ; convex, strongly punctate-striate, the 

 puncturing on the stria next the suture less regular 'than 

 on the others ; interspaces slightly convex, very finely 

 granidose-rcticulate, impunctate, with the exception of the 

 short interspace next the suture, which is coarsely punc- 

 tured. 



ChcEtocnema squarrosa. 



Brevitcr ovata, convexa, cuprea, minus nitida, pedibus 

 antennisque basi piceo-hdvis, his extrorsum femoribusque 

 posticis piceis ; thorace gTanuloso, minus fortiter punctato ; 

 elytris fortiter punctato-striatis, interspatiis leviter con- 

 vexiusculis, tenuissime granulosis, interspatio primo con- 

 fuse punctato.
