CHRYSOMELIDiE. 
468. Chlamys pallifrons, Jac. P. Z. S. 1887, p. 68. 
Brownish-black ; basal joint of antennae testaceous ; lower part 
of face flavous ; thorax spotted with fulvous in front and at base. 
Head closely granulate- puu eta te ; antennae with two or three 
basal joints testaceous, rest black. Thorax strongly raised into an 
undivided hump, extremely closely and finely granulate-punctate ; 
hinder portion of elevation as w'ell as some indistinct spots 
anteriorly, fulvous ; a more distinct fulvous spot at each side of 
elevation. Scutelluin transverse. Elytra slightly constricted at 
middle, more strongly punctured than thorax, each elytron with 
an indistinct ridge from middle of base to apex joined to a shorter 
ridge that commences at the shoulders ; subsutural ridge connected 
with suture at middle by a short transverse tubercle that ends 
near apex in a more strongly raised longitudinal tubercle, three 
other small elevations are within the elytral constriction at sides ; 
suture dentate throughout. Base of femora obscure fulvous. 
Length 2 mm. 
Hob. Ceylon. 
Resembles C. spilota, Baly, but is only half the size. The 
thorax in spilota is more finely punctured, the tubercles on the 
elytra are much less distinctly raised, and the interstices more 
finely punctured. 
469. Chlamys orientalis, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely. 1895, p. 269. 
Obscure fulvous ; head and thorax paler, the latter with darker 
spots at top and base ; elevations of elytra obscure piceous ; legs 
spotted. 
Parallel-sided and subcylindrical in shape. Head deeply and 
closely punctured and rugose ; eyes deeply notched ; vertex with 
short longitudinal groove ; antennae flavous, extending to middle 
of thorax, terminal six joints strongly dilated. Thorax abruptly 
raised at middle, the disc canaliculate, with a tubercle at each 
side of the channel that extends downwards to the base ; sides of 
thorax with numerous more or less distinct but rounded tubercles, 
interstices closely punctured ; median lobe of posterior margin 
bidentate. Elytra dark brown, furnished like the thorax with 
numerous tubercles : one at shoulders, one at middle of basal 
margin, one below scutellum near suture, two at sides behind the 
middle, and three large conical tubercles near apex. Pygidium 
deeplv punctured, the punctures piceous ; underside similarly 
punctured ; femora with a small spot at middle. 
Length 3-4 mm. 
JIab. Southern Bombay : Kanara. 
Rather variable in regard to the amount of flavous and fulvous 
colouring, but the front portion of thorax always paler ; the 
species is easy to distinguish on account of this coloration, and 
the more isolated and numerous elytral tubercles.
