CHRYSOMELIOTE. 
207. Gynandrophthalma nigrotibialis, sp. u. 
<d • Body beneath, antenna) (basal joints excepted tibiae and 
tarsi black ; above fulvous, shining. 
Elongate and subcylindrical ; head entirely impunctate, clypeus 
at base impressed with some small fovea; placed semicircularly, 
anterior margin rather deeply subquadrately emarginate ; labrum 
nearly black ; antennae comparatively long, basal four joints fulvous, 
rest black, third joint as long as the fourth, thinner but scarcely 
longer than the second, following joints subquadrately widened. 
Thorax very short and transverse, nearly three times as broad as 
long, sides obliquely narrowed anteriorly, posterior angles rounded, 
posterior margin sinuate near middle, median lobe broad but 
slightly produced, surface impunctate. Scutellum slightly 
longer than broad, apex truncate. Elytra convex, parallel-sided, 
without humeral lobes, scarcely perceptibly punctured. Eegs 
elongate, the anterior pair slightly longer than the others, their 
tarsi rather long. 
Length 4\ mm. 
Hab. Nilgiris ( Anclreives ). Type in Coll. H. E. Andrewes. 
The deeply emarginate clypeus, strongly transverse thorax, and 
rather elongate legs are more characteristic of the African genus 
Lamia than of the present one ; since these differences, however, 
are apparently sexual only, I have left the species in Gynandro- 
phthalma. It is a much smaller species than G. wallardiensis. 
208. Gynandrophthalma wallardiensis, sp. n. 
Above pale fulvous, beneath black ; tibioo black, extreme base 
fulvous. 
Head longitudinally grooved between the eyes, rather closely 
but irregularly punctured ; clypeus transversely depressed, an- 
teriorly feebly emarginate ; antennae with the basal three joints 
fulvous, the rest black, very broadly transversely dilated. Thorax 
strongly transverse and short, the sides and the posterior angles 
feebly rounded, median lobe very broad but feeble and straight ; 
the disc sparingly and very minutely punctured at the sides, with 
several short transverse depressions near the base seen anteriorly, 
only in certain lights. Scutellum broadly triangular, pointed. 
Elytra elongate, without humeral lobes, very finely punctured in 
irregular rows which are entirely obsolete near the apex. Beneath 
black. The first joint of the tarsi longer than the second. 
Length 6| mm. 
Hab. Travancore : Wallardi {Coll. Jacoby). 
This is a very elongate, subcylindrical species. It agrees with 
LEtheomorpha in that the first joint of the tarsi is longer than the 
second, but differs in the absence of elytral humeral lobes ; the 
antennae are rather long, extending to the base of the thorax, the 
latter, on the contrary, is^short and transverse ; there is an entire 
absence of any spots on the upper surface.
