New and interesting species of Eumolpinae from Pakistan and Thailand (Coleoptera Chrysomelidae)

Abstract

First records are given for Eryxia grandis Lefèvre, 1890 from Pakistan; for Tricliona melanura Lefèvre, 1890 and Colaspoides piceus Gressitt & Kimoto, 1982 from Thailand. Mesocolaspis spinulosum sp. n. and Lypesthes regalis sp. n. are described both from northern Thailand (neighbourhood of Mae Hong Son, Ban Hual Po); the former is characteristic for its peculiar elytral sculpture and the entirely black body, the latter, among the other species of the same genus, for its metallic colouration and the simple structure of the pygidium.
