flavous. Prosternum slightly longer than broad, scarcely produced 
in front. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hah. Sikhim : Mungphu. 
Similar in colour to C. lefevrei , Jac., but the elytra without 
a humeral spot, more strongly punctured, the outlines of 
the flavous and black coloured portions different, the black 
extends obliquely upwards at the suture towards the scutellum. 
398. Cryptocephalus manipurensis, sp. n. 
Black ; basal joint, of antennae and clypeus flavous ; elytra with 
posterior two-thirds black, anterior third flavous. 
Head finely punctured and pubescent ; eyes rather closely 
approximate ; antennae somewhat short and robust, basal joint 
flavous, following two piceous, remainder black, joints 2 to 4 
gradually lengthened, the rest widened. Thorax very convex, 
about one-half broader than long, impunctate. Scutellum black 
and broad. Elytra twice as long as thorax, strongly punctate- 
striate, outer two interstices convex, others flat ; inner margin of 
epipleural lobes strongly produced, latter very broad at base. 
Prosternum and mesosternum closely pubescent, the former not 
produced in front, posterior angles blunt. 
Length 3 mm. 
Hah. India: Manipur {Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
Similar in colour to C. lefevrei , Jac. and C. clejiciens, Suffr., but 
differs from both in the greater amount of black on the elytra, 
the anterior edge of which is convex, extending higher upwards 
along the suture than along the sides ; differs also in the absence 
of a humeral spot and in the entirely black legs. I have only 
seen a single male specimen. 
399. Cryptocephalus insubidus, Suffr. Monogr., Linn. Ent. ix, 1854, 
p. 36. 
Dark fulvous ; two spots on the thorax and the base of elytra 
black. 
Head feebly convex ; clypeus concave ; forehead with fine 
longitudinal groove ; antennae pale flavous, slender ( ), about 
half the length of the body, third and fourth joints equal, twice as 
long as second, following two slightly longer, terminal joints 
slightly widened, last joint with a long and thin appendage. 
Thorax scarcely perceptibly punctured, margins slightly darker, 
posterior margin serrate, narrowly black, two obsolete small 
elongate spots at middle. Scutellum margined with piceous. 
Elytra short, broadly convex, shoulders broad and flat ; epipleural 
lobes short but distinct ; surface strongly punctate-striate, finer 
from middle but distinct to apex, interstices flat, finely punctured,
