402 C. A. Paiva : Notes on ChrysomelidcB. [Voi.. II, 



Pseudolema suturalis, Jac. 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidse, 

 vol. i, 1908, p. 83. 



One specimen from Mandar, Bengal, named by Jacoby as 

 Clythra suhiralis, Jac, and labelled "Type." This specimen 

 agrees with the description of the above species and has probably 

 been forgotten by Jacob}^ 



Pseudoclyira plagiata, Duviv. 



Jacoby, Famia of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidse, 

 vol. i, 1908, p. 102. 



The type of this species was originally described by Duvivier 

 from Konbir-Nowatoli. In the Museum collection there are 

 specimens from Mandar, Bengal, which were returned named by 

 Jacoby, having been compared with the " type " by Clavareau. 



These two localities a^e not mentioned by Jacoby who only 

 gives Southern India, Madras, as the distribution of the species. 



Gynandrophthalma crassipes (Duviv.). 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, 

 vol. i, 1908, p. 112. 



A " type " of Duvivier's species from Konbir, Eastern Ben- 

 gal, is in the Indian Museum collection, but no mention of the fact 

 is made either by Jacoby in his new book or hj Duvivier in the 

 Ann. Soc. Entom. Belgique, 1891, p. 31, where he describes this 

 species. 



Mtheomorpha nigropicta (lycfev.). 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidse, 

 vol. i, 1908, p. 124. 



One specimen from Calcutta in the Museum collection was 

 doubtfull}^ determined by Jacoby as a variety of the above species. 

 There is no doubt that it is a varietal form, having the black 

 lateral stripe on the elytra very much abbreviated and the 

 anterior spot on the elytra entirely absent. 



Lahidostomis humeralis, Schneider. 



C. O. Waterhouse, Trans. Linn. Soc. (Ser. 2.), Zool,, vol. v, 

 1887, p. 131. 



Five specimens, two males and three females from Badghis, 

 Afghanistan, were named by C, O. Waterhouse. These specimens 

 were collected by Dr. J. B. I. Aitchinson, attached to the Afghan 

 Delimitation Commission, and are in the Museum collection. They 

 agree ver^^^ closely with Jacoby' s description of Lahidostomis cum- 

 mingi, Jac. The onl}'^ difference I can find is in respect to the 

 size of the males, which (Waterhouse's specimens) are 9*5 mm. 

 to 10 mm. in length, the females being 7 to 8 mm, in length.
