CIIItYSOMELIDTF. 
Hab. India ; Assam : Shillong. 
Can be distinguished by the nearly black disc of the thorax 
and by the elytra having the margins narrowly flavous, also by an 
indication more or less distinctly marked of the elytral black 
portion being divided at the middle into two parts. 
219. Gynandroplithalma laevipennis, sp. n. 
c? . Fulvous ; elytra black, a triangularly elongate space below 
the scutellum and the lateral margins anteriorly more or less 
fulvous. 
Elongate ; head with a few fine punctures and a central fovea 
which forms the middle of a shallow transverse groove ; clypeus 
rather slightly emarginate in front ; antennae fulvous, the terminal 
joints strongly transverse. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides 
feebly rounded, posterior angles distinct ; median lobe only 
indicated. Elytra nearly parallel-sided, without any trace of 
puncturation, very shining, very feebly lobed at the sides. Body 
beneath shining fulvous ; abdomen clothed with rather long fulvous 
pubescence. Tarsi short, the first joint scarcely longer than the 
second. Pygidium entirety covered. 
Length 5| mm. 
Hab. Southern India (Brit. Mus.). 
In one specimen, the black colour of the elytra extends higher 
upwards to the base and sideways, leaving the lateral margins 
fulvous only at their apices. 
220. Gynandroplithalma fabrei, Lef'ev. Bull. Soc. Ent. France, 1883, 
p. cxi. 
“ Eulvous above, black beneath ; antennae with basal three 
joints fulvous, rest black. Elytra with a very broad transverse 
band from before middle to near apex, cyaneous. Legs fulvous, 
base of femora, apex of tibiae and tarsi more or less dark. Thorax 
smooth, elytra very finely punctured. 
Var. Elytra each with two blue spots, sometimes confluent 
behind the middle. 
Length 5-0 mm. 
Hab. India : Bamnad.” 
Clytra duvivieri , Jac. seems a very closely allied species, but the 
elytral band is much smaller and the legs are entirety flavous. 
Lefevre’s description of G. fabrei, quoted above, is not detailed 
enough for certain recognition.
