Chrysomelidae; Beetles. 251 body, rather slender ; the four basal segments more slender, smooth, hairless; the seven apical segments more thickened, sparsely covered with bristly hairs; first segment long and club-shaped, second slightly thicker than third, which is almost equal to fourth, fifth to eleventh almost equal. Prothoraoc about one millimetre broader than long, the greatest length being along the middle, basal margin oblique and bisinuate on either side, the median lobe distinctly produced ; anterior angles curved slightly outwards, obtuse at the apex, posterior angles acute ; each of the four angles bearing a fine seta ; sides convexly rounded ; surface transversely convex, closely and rather coarsely, but not deeply, punctate, faintly rugulose, interspaces granulose. Scutellum small, trian- gular, and with a few punctures. Elytra hardly broader at base than prothorax, strongly punctate-striate, the interspaces ami whole of the surface finely but distinctly punctate, the inter- stitial punctures being much finer, and giving the surface a granulose appearance ; on each elytron there are eleven longitudinal rows of punctures, including a scutellar row, nine principal rows, and an extreme marginal row ; the rows converge towards the apex ; counting the scutellar row as the first, the eighth and ninth rows commence from a point immediately behind the slightly convex humerus; the interspace between the tenth and the extreme marginal row is much wider than the other interspaces at the base, but narrows towards the apex. Underside more or less sparsely covered with fine hairs, and closely and strongly punctate. Length, 5 mm. Burma: Bhanio(^«). Tenasserim {Doherty). Indo-China : Laos (type-locality); Cambodia. Java.
