The elytral markings differ from those of most of the other species 
•of the genus, but are somewhat similar to those of C. annamita, 
Lefev., from China, only the position and shape of the bauds are 
quite different. 
2 77. Clytra marginicollis, sp. n. 
Black and shining ; lateral margins of thorax anteriorly fulvous. 
Elytra fulvous, with transverse black band behind the middle

Head transversely grooved between the eyes, the lower portion 
finely and irregularly punctured, anterior border subtriangularly 
emarginate ; mandibles broad and robust, rather strongly pro- 
duced ; palpi fulvous ; antennae with the basal four joints fulvous, 
the succeeding five joints black, the rest in the type and only 
specimen Avanting. Thorax strongly transverse, subcylindrical, 
the sides strongly rounded ; posterior angles distinct, the extreme 
lateral angles fulvous on the anterior portion, the rest of the

produced and rounded. Scutellum black, rather convex and 
pointed. Elytra feebly lobed at the shoulders, the black band

broad as long, the posterior angles rounded, the surface im- 
punctate. Scutellum fulvous. Elytra rather finely and irregularly 
punctured, with a transverse arched black band near the apex, not
