CHItYSOMELIDyE. 
Head entirely impunctate with two feeble transverse depressions 
between the eyes ; clypeus very broad, impunctate, its anterior 
margin only slightly emarginate ; eyes elongate, nearly entire ; 
antennae with the basal four joints tlavous, the rest fuscous. 
Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, scarcely narrowed anteriorly, 
the lateral margins feebly rounded, with narrowly re flexed edges ; 
anterior angles acute, posterior obtuse, the surface entirely im- 
punctate even when seen under a very strong lens. Scutellum 
broad, poiuted, the basal margin black. Elytra subcylindrical, 
somewLat strongly lobed below the shoulders, their epipleuree 
continued behind the middle ; the surface finely but distinctly 
punctured, with a transverse, metallic, bluish-black band behind 
the middle, not extending to the extreme sutural or lateral 
margins ; the edges of this band irregularly notched. Body 
beneath black, densely pubescent ; legs fulvous. Tarsi short and 
broad. 
Length 6| mm. 
Hab. Northern India. Type in Brit. Mus. 
A single 5 specimen of this species is before me ; it is rather 
closely allied to C. plagiata, Duv., but differs in the entirely 
impunctate head and thorax, the blue, not black, elytral baud and 
the black underside. 
274. Clytra annarnita, Lefev. Ann. Soc. Ent. France , 1889, p. 288. 
Fulvous ; head with two, thorax with one black spot ; elytra 
with one transverse black band before and another behind the 
middle, the first band not extending to suture ; breast and 
abdomen more or less black. 
Elongate, subcylindrical. Head impunctate, obsoletely trans- 
versely grooved between eves ; vertex with two black spots ; 
antennae fuscous, basal four joints flavous, fifth and following 
joints strongly transversely serrate. Thorax not quite one-half 
broader than long, subcylindrical, sides nearly straight, surface 
impunctate. Elytra scarcely perceptibly punctured, a short, 
rather distinct row of punctures near suture, both bands of 
irregular shape and narrowed in the middle. Tarsi broad and 
equal. 
Var. a. Elytral bands replaced by four spots, placed transversely 
before and behind the middle. 
Var. b. Head and thorax without spots. 
Length 6-7 mm. 
Hab. Burma: Bangoon, Palon. Cochinchina : Saigon. 
Larger than either C. occipitalis or C. cardoni, the elytra less 
spotted and the position of the bands different ; in a specimen 
named by Lefevre there is an additional spot at the extreme apex 
of the elytra which the author does not mention.
