CI1RY S0MEL1DJE. 
Allied to C. fulvipes, Baly, but larger, the head similarly 
pubescent, but the elytral sculpturing and the colour of the legs 
quite different. 
479. Chlamys andrewesi, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely, xlvii, 1903, p. 93. 
Black; antennae and legs (posterior femora excepted) fulvous*. 
Head flat, rugosely punctured ; eyes acutely notched ; labrum 
fulvous; autennse with the last seven joints gradually widened. 
Thorax transverse, lateral margins straight, middle portion raised 
into a round elevation, top of the elevation bounded by a rather 
deep oblique groove ; entire surface evenly and closely rugose- 
punctate, puncturation at sides stronger than within lateral 
grooves, top of elevation with some short oblique ridges at sides of 
central sulcation. Scutellum with hind angles strongly produced. 
Elytra much more deepl} T and coarsely punctured, more shining 
than the thorax; middle of base with longitudinal ridge to middle 
of disc, connected there with another ridge that runs parallel with 
the first ridge upwards to the shoulders, where it becomes indistinct; 
a strongly raised transverse tubercle near suture behind the middle, 
connected inwards with a short ridge which joins the basal ridges 
at their lower posterior connection ; apical portion of elytra with 
another longitudinal triangular ridge close to the suture and more 
ridge-like tubercles near lateral margius ; interstices everywhere 
rugosely reticulate. Pvgidium finely rugose, with obsolete longi- 
tudinal grooves at the sides ; the sculpture of the body beneath 
similar. 
Length 4| mm.

Genus EXEMA. 
Exema, Lacord. Mon. Phytoph. ii, 1848, p. 844. 
Type, E. intricata, Ivollar, from Brazil. 
Range. North and South America ; Africa; India; Malacca. 
Characters similar to those of Chlamys, but the antennm are 
dentate from the sixth joint outwards. Thorax generally with 
longitudinal ridges. This is an ill-defined genus, and can scarcely 
be separated from Chlamys solely on the variable structure of the 
antennae. I have kept it separate as a matter of convenience 
only.
