Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio oblongo- 
quadrato, concavo. 
Foam. Abdominis segmento anali apice obtuso. 
Hob. Northern India. 
Eyes black, vertex with two small piceous spots, sometimes 
obsolete; antennse filiform. Thorax about one half broader than 
long ; sides slightly diverging, and almost straight from the base 
nearly to the apex ; the anterior and posterior angles acute ; 
upper surface broadly and deeply excavated transversely on either 
side, the excavation extending nearly across the entire disk. 
Elytra subquadrate-ovate, dilated posteriorly ; moderately convex, 
distinctly but not very closely punctured ; each elytron with four 
large black patches, placed obliquely in pairs, two at the base and 
two below the middle; of the upper pair the first, near the 
suture, is attached to the basal margin, the other is placed just 
below the humeral callus ; the outer one of the lower pair is 
attached to the lateral margin. 
26. Aulacophora excavata. Oblongo-ovata, postice paullo am- 
pliata, flava, nitida ; thoracis disco sat profunde excavato ; elytris 
subnitidis, tenuiter subcrebre punctatis, nigro-cyaneis ; tibiis apice 
tarsisque infuscatis. Long. 4^-5 lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali profunde trilobato, lobo intermedio 
alteris paullo longiore, oblongo, apice truncato, concavo. 
Focm. Abdominis segmento anali bilobato, lobis apice incurvatis, pygidio 
apice angulato-emarginato. 
Sab. India. 
Antennae filiform. Thorax about one half broader than long ; 
sides nearly parallel and slightly sinuate from the base nearly to 
the apex ; middle disk deeply excavated transversely, the hinder 
margin of the excavation obsoletely trisinuate. Elytra finely 
punctured. 
Nearly allied to A. impressa , Eabr., its thorax less deeply ex- 
cavated, the excavation different in form, the elytra unicolorous, 
and the under surface of the body entirely flavous.
