with eleven regular rows of punctures, the first row abbreviated, 
interstices with a row of finer impressions ; each elytron with a 
bright yellow patch from the base to beyond the middle and trans- 
versely from the outer margin nearly to the suture, its inner edge 
deeply emarginate. Beneath dark blue, abdomen with a double

Iiab. Northern India : Manipur {Doherty). 
A large and handsome species, easily known by irs coloration. 
152. Crioceris dohertyi, sp. m 
Black, Elytra with a subquadrate flavous patch at base nearly 
extending to middle. 
Head strongly constricted posteriorly ; intraocular space con- 
vex, with a central groove, the area in front of the eyes finely 
rugose ; antennae reaching to the base of the thorax, the terminal 
joints strongly widened and flattened, third and fourth equal, 
short. Thorax as broad as long, very slightly constricted at the 
sides, the latter with a deep triangular cavity, bounded above by a 
perpendicular ridge, anterior angles tuberculiform ; basal sulcus 
only indicated ; the space behind with some fine transverse ridges ; 
the disc with two double rows of fine punctures. Elytra narrowed 
posteriorly, the basal portion raised, marked with five short rows 
of deep punctures, the latter very widely placed, the rest of the 
disc black ; entirely impunctate, with a large subquadrate flavous 
patch at the base that does not extend to the suture nor quite to 
the middle, its inner margin oblique. Legs robust, black.

Hah. Assam : Patkai Mts. Type in Brit. Mus. 
Allied to 0. adonis , Baly, but much larger and black instead of 
blue, the elytra differently sculptured and the flavous patch smaller ; 
the antennse with broadly dilated terminal joints. The same differ- 
ences in size and other details separate the insect from C. ornata, 
Baly.

p. 874. 
Piceous ; each elytron with a large subquadrate humeral flavous 
spot. 
Plead elongate, impunctate; the eyes deeply triangularly notched, 
the lateral grooves deep; antennm not extending much beyond 
the base of the elytra, dark chestnut or piceous, gradually 
widened towards the apex, the basal four joints small, nearly 
equal, shining, the others opaque, scarcely louger than broad. 
Thorax slightly louger than broad, moderately constricted at the 
sides, subcylindrical ; the disc with two rows of fine punctures on 
the middle. Scutellum small. Elytra with the basal portion 
strongly raised, the punctures fine, much stronger in the first three
