GTITAN DROPHTH ALM A .

This species, ofc' which I received a typical specimen, seems 
best placed in the present genus. The elytral spot or patch is 
subject to enlargement and in this case the species resembles 
Clytra ( Pseudoclytra ) plagiata, Duv., but differs from it in shape 
and elylral puncturation. 
Elytra jlavous or f ulvous. 
200. Gynandrophthalma planifrons, sp. n. 
Flavous ; base of head, a spot on anterior part of thorax, scu- 
tellum, margins of elytra and breast black. 
Narrowly elongate, head very broad and flat, impunctate, vertex 
crossed by a black transverse band ; clypeus not separated from 
face; antennae black, basal four joints flavous, fifth and following 
joints strongly transverse. Thorax rather more than twice as 
broad as long, sides rounded, narrowly margined ; surface im- 
punctate, transversely depressed in front of scutellum, a large 
black patch on the middle of the anterior margin extending 
downwards nearly to the base. Scutellum very broad, pointed. 
Elytra slightly depressed below base across suture, not perceptibly 
punctured, all the margins narrowly black, this black border 
indistinctly widened at apex. Legs and abdomen flavous ; breast 
black. 
Length 2| mm. 
Hah. Nilgiris. Type in Coll. II. E. Andrewes. 
A very small species not difficult to recognize by its peculiar 
coloration.

5 . Entirely pale flavous ; moderately elongate, rather convex 
and parallel-sided. Head produced, alutaceous ; clypeus semi- 
circularly emarginate ; eyes very large and convex ; antennae 
slender, feebly dentate, distinctly longer than the thorax. 
Thorax at least twice as broad as long, subcylindrical, feebly 
rounded at the sides ; median lobe large but very short, posterior 
angles distinct ; surface entirely impunctate. Scutellum smooth, 
subtriangularly elongate and raised. Elytra scarcely sinuate at 
sides, very finely punctured in rows. Legs short, slender ; tarsi 
very short, the first two joints trigonal, equal. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hah. India. 
Closely resembles at first sight certain species of true Chryso- 
mela. 
202. Gynandrophthalma ceylonica, sp. n. 
d . Elavous ; elytra fulvous. Head flat, without depressions ; 
clypeus not separated from face, its anterior border triangularly
