CICIKDELID . 



Maldah, Murshidabad, Berhampur, Sara Ghat, Chota Nagpur ; 

 Central India : Grwalior ; Bombay : N. Kanara. 



According to Mr. Annandale this species does not occur at 

 great altitudes, and has been taken at light on board the Ganges 

 terry steamers. 



Var. iravaddica, Gestro. 



This variety differs from the type in being slightly broader, 

 with the pronotum narrower, but these differences are scarcely ap- 

 parent ; the central fascia of the elytra is straighter and less 

 elbowed and the apical white border does not touch the suture ; 

 the last character, however, varies in the type-form ; the strong 

 seta on the first joint of the antennae, and the small bunch of 

 hairs on the fourth are wanting in the male. 



Length 9-10 millim. 



Burma: Mandalay, Katha, Teinzo (Fed), Tharawaddy (Corbett). 

 Var. procera, W. Horn. 



Differs from the typical form in being considerably smaller, and 

 in having the labrum and head narrower, the pronotum more 

 strongly constricted and more strongly sulcate, with the inter- 

 mediate part more convex and the sides more scantily setose ; the 

 elytra are narrower with finer sculpture, and the apical margin, 

 instead of a white line, has an elongate triangular patch at the 

 external apical angle; underside, including the legs and posterior 

 trochanters, coppery bronze, with golden reflections here and 

 there ; the colour of the upper surface is coppery brown. 



Length 8 millim. 



" Ind. or. (Boucard)." 



There is a female specimen in Mr. Nevinson's collection which 

 should perhaps be referred to this variety. 



Var. fore vis, W. Horn. 



Differs from the typical form in the shape of the labrum, 

 which is truncate and armed with a short central tooth, in its 

 smaller and more coarsely striate head, the much shorter elytra, 

 and the broader white markings ; the anterior discoidal spot is near 

 the base, the central fascia is thickened at the margin, and the 

 marginal line at the apex is thickened at the side (where it some- 

 times joins the spot before apex), and towards the suture ; the 

 underside and the legs are more coppery, and the trochanters are 

 brownish purple. 



Length 8| millim.
