Pale with darker longitudinal stripes. 
211. Gynandrophthalma nigrosuturalis, sp. n. 
Elavous ; antennae, tibiae, tarsi and breast more or less black. 
Elytra with suture and margins deep black. 
Head impunctate ; eyes large ; labrum black ; clypeus with some 
narrow sinuate depressions at base that indicate the separation 
from the face ; antennae black, basal two or three joints flavous. 
Thorax nearly three times as broad as long, sides rounded, surface 
very shining, impunctate. Scutellum black, broad and convex. 
Elytra subcylindrical and elongate, very finely and rather remotely 
punctured, punctures here and there arranged in irregular rows, 
the sutural black stripe angularly widened below base, the lateral 
stripe gradually but slightly widened at middle and at apex. 
Length 3 mm. 
Hab. Nilgiris (//. L. Andrewes). 
Larger than G. planifrons ; head and thorax without band and 
spot, elytral black margins broader and deep black. 
212. Gynandroplitlialma crucipennis, sp. n. 
Eulvous; the head and breast black ; elytra flavous, a marginal 
hand, widened at the base and apex, and a sutural spot behind the 
middle black ; legs flavous, tarsi fuscous. 
Head black on the upper portion, the middle with a punctured 
depression of elongate shape, lower portion fulvous, labrum black ; 
eyes large ; antennae black, extending to the base of the elytra 
( $ ), the basal two or three joints fulvous ; fourth and following 
joints strongly transverse. Thorax scarcely twice as broad as long, 
fulvous, shining, the lateral margins straight, the posterior angles 
rounded, the basal margin with a scarcely perceptibly produced 
median lobe ; the surface impunctate, very shining, fulvous. 
Scutellum broad, trigonal, impunctate, black. Elytra rather 
elongate, slightly transversely depressed below the base, very 
feebly lobed at the shoulders, finely punctured in closely approxi- 
mate irregular rows, a black longitudinal stripe along the sides 
that widens at the base into a large spot and at the apex into a 
transverse band, the suture is likewise narrowly black and a 
transverse short band extends across it behind the middle. Body 
below finely pubescent, the breast black, the abdomen more or less 
fulvous but stained with piceous ; apex of the tibia? and the tarsi 
slightly stained with fuscous, the first joint cf the latter rather 
elongate, about as long as the following two joints united ; anterior 
legs of the male longer than the others. 
Length 2.V mm. 
Hab. Burma : Ruby Mines {Doherty). Type in Brit. Mus. 
The above description is that of the male ; in the female the 
entire head is black, the antennae and legs are shorter and the 
elytra are more strongly punctured. In both sexes the pygidium 
is covered by the elytra, but in the male it is of a more elongate 
subcylindrical shape.
