or less wrinkled, obsoletelv costate near the suture at apex. Coxae 
and extreme apex of tibiae obscurely piceous. 
Length 6 mm. 
flab. Burma : Buby Mines. Type in Brit. Mus. 
In this species the thorax is widest at middle, the sides are 
strongly rounded, and the anterior angles very prominent; the 
elytra are much more strongly and closely punctured than in 
C. manipurensis. 
497. Chrysolampra indica, sp. n. 
Metallic greenish-cupreous ; basal joints of antennae fulvous, 
rest black ; legs blackish-aeneous. 
B . Head closely and finely punctured, vertex with longitudinal 
depression at middle, a smooth oblong space at base of antennae ; 
clypeus triangular, closely rugose-punctate ; labrum dark fulvous ; 
mandibles black ; antennae with the basal four joints fulvous, 
rest blackish, all the joints from the third onwards very elongate. 
Thorax about half as broad again as long, sides evenly rounded, 
narrowly margined ; puncturation rather fine, distant and irregu- 
larly placed, though not more closely or strongly on the sides 
than in the middle. Elytra subcylindrical, twice as strongly 
punctured as the thorax ; punctures arranged in close irregular 
rows near suture, larger and much more irregularly placed at 
sides, interstices on the sides transversely rugose. Body beneath

Group NOD OS TO MINI. 
Body oblong, ovate or subelongate ; antennae filiform or sub-

rounded or angulate at base. Apex of intermediate and posterior

anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 
Bepresented in India by a large number of closely allied species. 
The thorax is as a rule narrowed anteriorly and angulate at the 
sides near base, but also often rounded ; the elytra have generally 
a deep depression behind the base.
