GYNANDROPHTHALMA. 
Ill 
196. Gynandrophthalma cochinchinensis, Lef'ev . Ann. Soc. Ent. 
France , 1889, p. 290. 
Gynandrophthalma birmanica, Jac. Ann. Mm. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 
'1892, p. 885. 
Fulvous ; breast, apex of abdomen and pygidiuin blackish ; elytra 
with two round bluish-black spots (one humeral and one between 
shoulders and scutellum), also a transverse 
broad patch, more or less widened at the sides ; 
legs fulvous. 
Head obsoletely bi-im pressed between the 
eyes ; antennse black, basal two joints fulvous. 
Thorax smooth. Elytra rather strongly and 
irregularly punctured, punctures obsolete 
behind the middle. 
Length 5-5| mm. 
Hah. Burma; Cochinchina. 
Allied to G. malayana, Baly, but the 
elytra much more strongly punctured and 
differently marked. Although in the Burmese 
variety (G. birmanica , Jac.) the head is some- 
times marked with black at the vertex and the 
elytral puncturation is rather more strongly impressed, I think 
it cannot be specifically separated on such slight variations. 
197. Gynandrophthalma assamensis, sp. n. 
Testaceous ; labrurn black ; antennse with terminal fuscous 
joints. Thorax with four obsolete spots. Elytra with three spots 
at base, two at middle, lateral margins posteriorly and suture 
black. Legs testaceous, tarsi fuscous. 
Head impunctate, with a round deep fovea between the eyes, 
the vertex with an obscure black spot at the base ; eyes very 
large ; clypeus not separated, its anterior margin feebly concave ; 
labrurn black ; antennae fuscous, with the fourth and following 
joints strongly transversely serrate, the basal three joints testa- 
ceous. Thorax nearly three times as broad as long; the sides 
rounded, posterior angles distinct, the median lobe feebly but 
broadly produced; the disc impunctate, with four obscure piceous 
spots, placed transversely. Scutellum very broad, its apex ob- 
tusely rounded, piceous. Elytra subquadrately oblong, strongly 
and closely punctured anteriorly, very finely and much more 
distantly so towards the middle ; each elytron with five black 
spots, of which one is placed on the humeral callus, a more elon- 
gate one between the first spot and the suture and the third at the 
lateral margin, the other spots are placed on the middle and are 
of more transverse shape, the outer spot is attached to the black 
margin, the latter surrounds the apex ; the sutural margins are 
likewise black and this colour widens into a short stripe below 
the scutellum. Tarsi fuscous, the first joint slightly longer than 
Fig. 27.
