CIIItYSOMELIDJE. 
punctate-striate, dark fuscous or fulvous, closely covered with 
scales and short single erect black hairs ; behind the middle a 
transverse obscure band is visible, caused by the absence of scales. 
Femora with a stout triangular tooth ; intermediate tibiae feebly 
notched near the apex ; claws bifid.

755. Demotina ceylonensis, Jac. V. Z. 8. 1887, p. 72. 
Broadly ovate, robust ; fuscous, clothed with fulvous pubescence ; 
the basal three or four joints of the antennae fulvous ; elytra 
with a transverse whitish band at the middle, the apical portion 
spotted. 
Broader and more robust than D. thoracica, with the pubescence 
fulvous instead of whitish. The elytra, instead of being finely and 
distantly punctate-striate, are here strongly and closely punctured, 
and a transverse band, composed of thick white pubescence, is 
placed at the middle ; this band is narrowed towards the suture 
and is, in one specimen, followed by a broad black denuded space, 
while the apical portion is variegated by white and fulvous 
pubescence ; in another specimen, which 1 refer to the same 
species, the transverse band is only indicated, and the space below 
it shows some small fuscous spots, alternated by white and fulvous 
pubescence.

Antennae more than two-thirds the length of the body, the 
third and fourth joints equal, the terminal five joints slightly 
thickened. Thorax twice as broad as long, the sides strongly 
rounded, the surface closely and finely rugose-punctate like the 
head. S'-utellum thickly clothed with whitish pubescence. Elytra 
closely covered with yellowish scale-like pubescence, the punc- 
turation distinct, close and arranged in rows; each elytron with 
two stripes of whitish pubescent spots, of which one is placed at 
a little distance and close to the suture, the other at the middle 
of the disc and extends from the shoulder to the apex ; besides 
the pubescence, single short stiff black bristles are visible on 
the surface of the elytra. Legs dark fulvous ; the femora with 
a distinct tooth.
