CHEYSOMELINjE. 



patches ; surface moderately closely and confusedly punctate ; 

 amidst the confused punctures about eight or uiue rows at long 

 intervals are distinguishable, but they are not definite. Underside 

 smooth, shining, impunctate. The first segment of the tarsi is 

 the largest. 



Length, 11-12 mm. ; breadth, 8 mm. 



Burma : Karen Hills, v-xii. 1888 {Feci). Assam : Manipur 

 (Loherty) ; Shillong, 5000 ft., vi-vii. 1918, on apple leaf {Fletcher). 

 Sikkim : Gropaldhara, Bungbong Valley {II. Stevens) ; Lebong, 

 Darjeeling, 5000 ft., ix. 1908 (Lefroy). One specimen from 

 Mungphu, from Jacoby's own collection and marked by him as a 

 type, is now in the British Museum, although this locality is not 

 mentioned in the original description. The true type should be in 

 the Genoa Museum. 



49. Paropsides chennelli, Baly. 



Parotides chennelli, Baly, Cist. Ent. ii, 1879, p. 438. 



Body elongate. Colour brown without any markings. 



Head broad, coarsely punctate, the oblique arms of the Y-shaped 

 mark are straight. Antennas slender, sparsely covered with hairs 

 and reaching a little beyond the base of the pronotum ; first segment 

 elongate, club-shaped, second small, third and fourth almost equal 

 to each other in length, fifth a little shorter, from the sixth to the 

 eleventh the segments are very slightly thickened. Prothoraa- 

 less than twice as broad as long, sides straight and nearly parallel 

 from the base to the middle, thence rounded and converging to 

 the apex, anterior angles acute, posterior obtuse, front margin 

 broadly emarginate, basal margin very gently bisinuate on either 

 side ; upper surface rather coarsely and closely punctate, broadly 

 excavated on either side, where the punctures are coarser and 

 coalesce to make still coarser pits. Scutellv.m triangular, smooth, 

 impunctate. Elytra convex, broader than the prothorax, very 

 slightly dilated behind, broadly rounded at the apex, regularly 

 punctate-striate, each elytron having nine rows besides a scutellar 

 row ; between the ninth row and the slightly reflexed lateral 

 margin there is a broad, smooth space which may be called the 

 tenth interspace, outside which the surface is slightly depressed 

 and strongly, coarsely and confusedly punctate ; interspaces very 

 minutely and confusedly punctate and, counting the interval 

 between the suture and the first row as the first, the third, fifth, 

 seventh, and ninth appear to be slightly elevated, and not, as Baly 

 writes, the fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth ; although this character 

 is more clearly visible in the type-specimen from Assam, yet all the 

 specimens from Sikkim do not show it. Underside sometimes 

 darker than upper side, smooth, shining and impunctate. 



Length, 10 mm.; breadth, 7 mm. 



Assam (type-locality). Sikkim: Gopaldhara, Bungbong Valley 

 {H. Stevens).
