than the body, first and second joints short, the latter extending to the

 truncated, distinctly transversely impressed before the middle, ante- 

 rior lateral margins, obtusely sinuated, obtuse : scutellum covering the 

 entire abdomen : prostethium triangularly impressed, margins of im- 

 pression elevated, subdilated : mesostethium obtusely sulcate : odori- 

 ferous apertures continued outwards in an elongated furrow, slightly 

 curved and abruptly abbreviated : sides of venter very convex, incisures 

 gradually curved second segment broadly sulcate in the middle : feet 

 moderate, tibiae distinctly sulcate above. Differs from Sctotellera, Lam.

Ovate-oblong, metallic bluish-green ; head with three spots be- 

 tween the eyes ; thorax with six, three by three, the posterior larger ; 

 scutellum with three small basal, two larger rounded, two lateral small, 

 two behind the middle, rounded, large, and one sub-apical spot, or ten

Reported from Java, Assam, China. The Indian Museum has a 

 specimen from Assam which differs from the type in having the large 

 median spots on the scutellum confluent, forming two waved transverse 

 bands {Dist.) and in some these are connected by a median, longitudinal 

 arrow-shaped mark. 



Genus Calliphara, Germar. 



Calliphara, pt, Germar, Zeitschr. i (i) p. 122 (1839) : Stal, En. Hem. iii, p. 9, 16 

 (1873). Includes Calliphara, Stal, Hem. Afric. i, p. 34 (1864) and Lamprophara, 

 I. c. p. 34 (1864). 



Stal distributes the species belonging to this genus amongst the 

 subgenera Lairvprophara^ Calliphara and Ghrysophara to none of which 

 does he assign the only species recorded from India. The third joint 

 of the antennae is over twice as long as the second ; rostrum reachiag
