CTCINDELIDiE. 



coppery, with very distinct and long pubescence ; the gense, which 

 are usually bare, being also furnished with long white hairs. 

 Length 11 millim. 



Madras : Mysore ; Bombay : Surat (Indian Museum) ; Punjab : 

 Simla ; Bengal : Calcutta ; Central Provinces : Nagpur. 



Dr. Horn says that the species is known only from Bengal, and 

 therefore some of these records may be erroneous : these obscure 

 insects are very apt to be confused with one another. 



Yar. atelesta, Ghaud. 



Dr. Horn considers this as synonymous with the type, but the 

 specimens I have seen are narrower, with red trochanters and 

 with the ante-apical spot merged into the produced branch of the 

 white apical margin, which is almost linear ; the genae apparently 

 are not pubescent; the elytral markings are variable, but, as a 

 whole, are smaller. 



Length 10-10J millim. 



Sikkim : Mungphu, Kurseong ; Bengal : Chota Nagpur, 

 Nowatoli, Asansol, Calcutta; Assam: Sylhet (Ind. Mus.).

Eront parts more or less coppery green or greenish, finely 

 sculptured ; head broad and flat between the moderately prominent 

 eyes ; labrum short, testaceous, leaving the chief part of the man- 

 dibles (which are dark except at base) exposed ; pronotum sub- 

 quadrate, distinctly, though linely, asperate, and not transversely 

 strigose, slightly rounded at the sides, with the depressions and 

 central line not strong and with evident pubescence at the margins ; 

 elytra a little rounded at the sides, dull, covered with very small 

 round punctures, with a white marking on the shoulders followed 

 by a spot on the disc, a bluntly hooked stripe at the middle pro- 

 ceeding from the margin, a spot near the suture towards the apex, 

 and a spot touching the upper portion of the marginal white line 

 at the suture, which is not linearly produced ; legs metallic ; 

 underside green and violaceous, pubescent, centre of abdomen and 

 the gensc bare. 



Length 10-11 millim. 



Madras : Pondieberry ; Ceylon. 



Apparently confused with C. fastidiosa, which it closely re- 

 sembles and, perhaps, from much the same localities ; in Ery's 

 collection there is a smaller, darker, and more coppery example 

 from Pondicherry.
