igo8.] Records of the Indian Museum. 405 



Scelodonta indica, Duviv. 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, 

 vol. i, 1908, p. ^S^. 



Recorded by Jacoby only from Konbir, B. Bengal. Un- 

 doubtedly a very common species in Calcutta, from which locality 

 a rather large series of specimens were named for the Museum by 

 Jacoby. 



There are two specimens which were returned named by the 

 Paris Museum. One is Colasposoma coeruleatum, Baly^ and the 

 other Colasposoma ornatum, Jac. Both are from Maldah (Bengal). 



Five specimens from Bangalore were identified by Jacoby as 

 Colasposoma nitida, Fabr., and four specimens from Ranchi (Bengal) 

 were doubtfully identified by him as Colasposoma affine, I^efev.^ 

 No mention of either of these species is made by him in the 

 '' Fauna." 



Abirus angustatus, Lefev. 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidse, 

 vol. i, 1908, p. 456. 



Jacob}^ states he was unable to refer any Hastern form known 

 to him to this species, as he knew no species of Abirus with a thorax 

 nearly twice as long as broad. Among the specimens returned 

 by the Paris Museum are two specimens named as belonging to 

 this species, evidently a male and a female. The specimens bear 

 a label in I^efevre's handwriting. They are from Southern India. 

 In neither of the specimens does the thorax appear to be twice as 

 long as broad, as it is stated to be b}" I^efevre in his description 

 {" prothorace fere duplo longiore parum latiore"). 



Abirus andamansis, I^efev. 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae 

 vol. i, 1908, p. 457. 



A ' ' type ' ' of this species is in the Indian Museum collec- 

 tion and was returned by the Paris Museum. It bears I^efevre's 

 label. Unfortunately the head and thorax are missing. There 

 are no other examples of the species in the collection and it is 

 apparently rare, as Jacoby did not see any specimens of it. 



Corynodes andamanensis, lycfev. 



Jacoby, Fauna of British India, Coleoptera, Chrysomelid^, 

 vol, i, 1908, p. 503. 



I^efevre, in his original description (Bull. Soc. Ent. Belgique, 

 XXXV, 1891, p. cclxxvi) called this species " andamansis," but 

 Jacoby has changed it into andamanensis. The type specimen,
