6. Chrysolina manipurensis, sp. no v. 



Body oblong, almost parallel-sided, rounded towards the apex 

 and somewhat convex behind the middle. Upper side very dark 

 brassy, black mixed with dark green. 



Head broad, vertex finely and sparsely punctate, anteriorly 

 (including the clypeus) more coarsely punctate; the clypeus 

 delimited by a strongly impressed curved line, the longitudinal 

 median line hardly perceptible. Antennae less than halt the 

 length of the body, the six basal segments shining, the five 

 apical ones slightly thicker, pubescent aud opaque ; first segment 

 thickened, second small, nearly half the length of the third, the 

 latter longer than the fourth, fifth and sixth segments each 

 equal to the fourth, the last pointed. Prothoracc broader than 

 long, almost as broad at the base as the elytra ; anterior margin 

 widely emargiuate, basal margin strongly bisinuate, sides straight 

 nenr the base, widely rounded anteriorly, anterior angles rounded, 

 posterior acute; the central disc gently convex from side to side, 

 closely and uniformly punctate with fine punctures ; each side is 

 longitudinally convex, with similar fine punctures, and is bounded 

 inwardly by a longitudinal deep furrow in which are much 

 coarser and larger punctures. Scutellum ovate with apex much 

 narrowed, its surface near the base, seen under a high power, 

 with a few fine punctures, the rest impunctate. Elytra almost as 

 broad as the prothorax at the base ; each elytron has the follow- 

 ing rows of moderately strong punctures : a short scutellar row 

 of a few punctures, a single sutural row reaching right to the 

 apex, four pairs of rows in which the punctures are regularly 

 arranged, being placed close to each other; interstices smooth 

 and very finely punctate, the punctures being more in number on 

 the apical area than anteriorly ; this is better seen under a high 

 power. Underside finely and sparsely punctate throughout. 



Length, 8 mm. ; breadth, 5 mm. 



Assam : Manipur (Doherty). 



Type in the British Museum. Described from two examples. 



7. Chrysolina dohertyi, sp. nov. 



• Body oblong, parallel-sided, convex behind the middle, somewhat 

 narrowed posteriorly towards the apex. Upper side shining black 

 with purple and brassy reflections ; underside black and less 

 shining. 



Head broad, impunctate (under a high power a few very minute 

 and scattered punctures may be seen); clypeus delimited by a 

 well-impressed curved line, vertical longitudinal median line 

 faintly impressed. Antennae a little surpassing the base of the 

 pronotum, the five basal segments shining, the next six segments 

 thickened and opaque ; first segment large aud thickened, second 

 much smaller than third, fourth and fifth each shorter than the 

 third, the last segment long and with a pointed apex. Prothorax 

 broader than long, front margin widely emarginate, sides slightly
