CHBYSOMELID2E. 
Head smooth, very shining;, with a feeble depression on the 
vertex, some longitudinal ridges near the inner borders of the 
eyes ; clypeus emarginate ; antennae black, extending slightly 
below the base of the thorax, basal four joints fulvous, apical 
seven transverse. Thorax extremely short, at least three times as 
broad as long, feebly rounded at the sides, smooth with the excep- 
tion of some small punctures near the base. Scutellum large, 
smooth, triangular. Elytra very slightly dilated posteriorly, mode- 
rately convex, very shining, very deeply and closely punctured, 
the puncturation regularly arranged with the interstices subconvex 
near the suture. .Beneath finely pubescent. — $ with a fovea on 
the last abdominal segment. 
Length 3 mm. 
Hab. Sikhim : Kurseong. 
Differs from G. dohertyi , Jac., in being much shorter and 
smaller and in the strongly transverse thorax and elytral punc- 
turation.

Genova, xxxii, 1892, p. 877. 
Beneath fulvous ; antennae (basal joints excepted), breast and 
tarsi black; above metallic blue ; legs fulvous. 
Elongate and subcylindrical ; vertex of head swollen, impunctate, 
lower part of face flattened, finely punctured, separated from 
vertex by a well-marked transverse groove ; labrum and palpi 
piceous ; base of mandibles fulvous ; antennae black, not quite 
extending to base of thorax, basal three joints fulvous, basal joint 
subquadrate, second rounded, short, third very small, fourth and 
following joints transversely widened. Thorax rather more than 
twice as broad as long, sides moderately rounded and narrowed in 
front, very finely margined, posterior angles distinct ; surface 
obliquely depressed near latter, impunctate at disc, the depressions 
finely punctured ; median lobe rounded, gradually but not strongly 
produced. Scutellum triangular, pointed. Elytra with moderately 
strong epipleural lobes, finely and closely punctured ; pygidium 
free, finely pubescent, bluish. Beneath finely pubescent ; tibiae 
darkened at apex. First joint of posterior tarsi longer than the 
second. 
Length 7 mm. 
Hab. Burma : Karennee. 
This species is better placed in Gynandrophthalma than in 
Diapromorpha , as it much resembles in size and colour G. togoensis , 
Jac., from Africa, but, besides structural differences, the underside 
and legs in that species are different in colour. It is the largest 
and most elongate of the Indian species.
