Length 12-124 millim. Sikkim : Upper Teesta Valley, E.

Fig. 106. wllyris variicorn i& Var. flavolabiata, W. Horn,. Dr. Horn first introduced this variety as a species allied to_ZV, parvula, from which it may be at once known by the densepunctuation of the sterna; it differs from the type-form ofJST. variicornis in having the labrum and the legs almost entirelytestaceous, and in its small size. Length 9 millim. Andaman and Kicobae Islands (Cormvallis and de Boep-storff). Var. gestroi, W. Horn. This variety is closely allied to the preceding, but differs in itslarger size and in having the anterior and posterior portions ofthe pronotum longer, so that the whole form appears more slender;. NEOCOLLYRIS. 247 the base of the pronotum is rugosely punctate ; from the type-form it appears to chiefly differ in the colour of the labrum andthe more slender pronotum. Length 10|-12| millim.
