“ Greenish-aeneous, beneath black ; mouth-parts, antennae, and 
legs rufous ; palpi robust, last joint elongate-ovate ; antennae half 
the length of body, apical joints strongly thickened, first joint 
incrassate, elongate, second scarcely half the length of first, ovate, 
third smaller than second, fourth subtriangular, following joints 
dilated, the last ovate. Thorax transverse, sparsely punctured, 
narrowed anteriorly, posteriorly margiuate, mediau lobe produced 
in front of scutellum, posterior angles subacute, prominent. 
Scutellum subrotundate, impunctate, apex acuminate. Elytra 
punctate-striate, punctures obliterated posteriorly, interstices 
impunctate. Body beneath sparingly pubescent ; legs robust, 
•emargination of the tibiae pubescent.

“ If ah. India.” (Motschulshy.) 
As Motschulsky describes his species as having the elytral 
puncturation obliterated posteriorly, it cannot be identified with 
IV. parvula, Jac., which latter is also larger. The puncturation of 
the thorax is only given as sparse, but not whether the punctures 
are deep or shallow. 
b. Tarsi fulvous, legs dark. 
505. Nodina burmanica, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 1902, 
p. 904. 
Obscure aeneous ; antenna?, apex of tibiae and the tarsi 
fulvous. 
Ovate, scarcely narrowed posteriorly. Head remotely but dis- 
tinctly punctured ; labrum fulvous ; antennae robust, terminal 
joints slightly darker, transversely thickened. Thorax with sides 
very feebly rounded ; surface evenly, rather strongly but remotely 
punctured. Elytra slightly darker than the thorax, punctate- 
striate, punctures scarcely stronger than those on the thorax. 
Length 2 mm. 
Hah. Burma; Karennee. Type in Genoa Museum. 
Intermediate in size between N. parvula , Jac., and N. robusta, 
Jac., principally distinguished by the colour of the tibiae and 
tarsi. 
506. Nodina subcostata, sp. n. 
Beneath black, above metallic dark blue ; basal joints of antennae 
fulvous ; tarsi obscure piceous or dark fulvous. 
$ . Head very finely and sparingly punctured ; clypeus rather 
more strongly punctate, anterior edge deeply emarginate at 
middle ; basal three or four joints of antennae fulvous, rest black, 
strongly thickened, basal joint black above. Thorax twice as 
broad as long, sides strongly rounded ; surface convex, strongly
