than the thorax, the second and third joints small, fulvous, 
following joints transverse. Thorax black, often quite twice as 
broad as loug, the posterior angles rounded, the sides slightly- 
narrowed anteriorly, the surface extremely minutely punctured. 
Scutellum black, its apex slightly raised and pointed. Elytra 
subcylindrical, very finely and closely punctured. Body beneath 
and legs black, closely pubescent, tarsi broad. 
Length 8-13 mm. 
Range. India : Bengal. China ; Java. 
A large and abundant species subject, like all the members of

sometimes partly, often entirely interrupted, but extends generally 
across the entire elytra.

“ Head extremely minutely and distantly punctured, feebly de-

269. Clytra flavotibialis, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely, xlvii, 1903, p. 84. 
Metallic dark greenish-blue ; basal joints of antennse, tibiae and 
tarsi flavous ; elytra fulvous, a round spot before the middle and 
a transverse band behind the latter, metallic greenish. 
Head very finely transversely and lon-

angularly depressed between the eyes, 
these very elongate, slightly notched at the 
inner margin ; labrum fulvous ; antennae

strongly widened. Thorax rather more 
than twice as broad as long, sides strongly 
rounded, with distinct reflexed narrow
