With Descriptions of the New Species. 181 



convex in the centre, rather strongly punctured, clypeus with the 

 margins raised, the apex impressed and emarginate. Thorax re- 

 motely punctured on the disk, more coarsely and closely punctured 

 towards the sides and apex, basal angles strongly rounded, a 

 broad white marginal band on each side. Elytra with somewhat 

 indistinct fine punctures arranged in rows, the apex more coarsely 

 and irregularly punctured, the apical sutural angles slightly rounded, 

 depressed in the centre and with a broad longitudinal white streak 

 extending from the base to about one-fourth from the apex where it 

 becomes dilated and trilobed. Pygidium coarsely and transversely 

 strigose, with a large and somewhat triangular white spot on each 

 side. Underside and legs very coarsely punctured, mesosternal 

 process large, obliquely divergent and obtuse at the apex, sides of 

 the metasternum and abdomen with white spots, anterior tibiae with 

 two strong but obtuse lateral teeth. 



Kanara. 



The remarkable markings on the elytra render this a 

 most conspicuous species and at once distinguish it from 

 all others ; it is evidently allied to C. Utraspila, Hope, but 

 is rather larger and of a broader, more depressed and 

 quadrate form, and has the thorax more rounded at the 

 sides. The two specimens submitted to me by Mr. 

 Andrewes, one of which he has allowed me to retain, are 

 apparently females, and were taken by Mr. Bell.

Kanara. 



12. Macronota (Ixorida) alboguttata, Parry. 



Kanara. 

 Two specimens taken by Mr. Bell, in flowers, in June. 



This species, described by Parry, from an Indian speci- 

 men, is stated by him to have been also received from the 

 Philippine Islands, and this locality is given as its habitat 

 in the Munich Catalogue, there is but little doubt how- 

 ever that the closely allied vidua, Wall, propinqua, Mohn., 

 or mindanoensis, Mohn., all Philippine species, has been 

 mistaken for it, and thus led to this error as to locality.
