11. Chrysolina andrewesi, Jacoby. 



Chrysomela andreivesi, Jac, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xlvii, 1903, p. 95. 



Apterous. Colour dark greenish or purplish, elytra cupreous 

 in some specimens, antenna? and tarsi black. 



Head very sparsely covered with fine punctures ; clypeus 

 depressed and the longitudinal median line feebly impressed. 

 Antennae rather short, passing a little distance beyond the 

 pronotum, the six terminal segments slightly thickened, opaque 

 and pubescent ; first segment large and thickened, second small, 

 about half the length of the third, fourth and fifth each shorter 

 than third, sixth still shorter, the last pointed. Prothorax almost 

 quadrate, very slightly broader than long, sides rounded anteriorly, 

 anterior margin emarginate, basal margin straight from the 

 middle to the side; disc with some few fine punctures, in some 

 specimens more numerous ; each side with a longitudinal convex 

 area, bearing some deep but very irregular punctures, more or less 

 crowded, in an obsolete longitudinal depression along the convex 

 area. Scutellum impunctate, sharing the colour of the prothorax. 

 Elytra more or less cupreous with a purplish sheen ; each elytron 

 has a short scutellar row of a few punctures, a single sutural row 

 and irregularly arranged double rows, the punctures numbering 

 altogether about seventy or eighty ; interstices impunctate. 

 Underside and legs metallic greenish and nearly impunctate. 



Length, 8| mm. ; breadth, 5| mm.

 mund (Coll. Champion, ex Tomlin). 

 Type in the British Museum. 



Very closely allied to Ch. Jcrishnu, Baly, from India, but in 

 that species (1) the pronotum is entirely impunctate and the sides 

 are longitudinally sulcate without punctures, (2) the elytral punc- 

 tures are closer and more regular.

Chrysomela fulvocenea, Jac, Mem. Soc. Ent. Belg. vii, 1900, p. 118. 



Apterous. Obscure fulvous, with a3iieous gloss. 



Head broad, depressed in the centre, with a few feebly 

 impressed punctures, more on the clypeus than on other parts ; 

 clypeus delimited by two well-impressed lines meeting the faint 

 median longitudinal line in the centre. Antenna rather short", 

 reaching the base of the pronotum, the five terminal segments
