 VIAGGIO DI LEONARDO FEA 
 
 IN BIRMANIA E REGIONI VICINE 
 LVl. 
 
 A List of the Lon'gicorn Coleoptera collected by Signor FEA in Burma 
 and the adjoining regions , with descriptions of the new Genera and species bj 
 CHAELES J. GAHAN, M. A., of the British Musenni (Nat. History), 
 
 {Plate I). 
 
 The Longicorn Coleoptera recorded in the following list 
 amount to a total of about 240 species. Of this number 90 are 
 now described for the first time and, with 3 previously described 
 by D.'' Gestro, give 93 as the number of new species contained 
 in the collections made by Signor Fea. But of these not a few 
 were already represented in other collections by specimens 
 which had been brought fi-om Burma, or, as was more often 
 the case, from North India. Where it seemed desirable, as ten- 
 ding to throw some light upon the distribution of the species, 
 I have added after each the other localities from which it was 
 known, in addition to those indicated by Signor Fea's specimens. 
 k comparison of these localities will show that the Longicorn 
 fauna of Burma has very much in common with that of Nepal, 
 Sikkim and Assam in Northern Hindostan. This is more parti- 
 cularly true, perhaps, of mountain species, some of which 
 range as far south even as Sumatra and Java. There is less 
 resemblance between the Longicorns of South India and Burma, 
 though a few species are common to both which have not so

 far been recorded from North India. Amon;,' the species that 
 appear to be confined to Burma may be more especially men- 
 tioned those of the fine genus Arctolamia described by D/ Gestro. 
 and some large species which I iiave placed in the genus 
 Niphona. Fea's collections have furnished two species of Alimura, 
 one of which is indistinguishable from an Australian species 
 described by Pascoe. Of the remaining species of Atimura two 
 are from the Malayan region, and one from Japan. It is pro- 
 bable that this genus is represented by a much larger number 
 of species, but that owing to their small size and the protection 
 afforded them by their great resemblance to little bits of sticks 
 they have to a great extent escaped the notice of collectors. 
 The new species, for which I have proposed the genus Estigme- 
 nida, is also remarkable for its striking resemblance to a com- 
 mon Oriental Hispid Esligmeim chinensis, Hope. The majority of 
 the new species belong to the groups Clylinae, Mesosinae . Ni- 
 phoninae and Obereinae, and it may be found that, owing to 
 their small size and the difficulty of identifying species in these 
 perplexing groups, some of them have already been described. 
 In identifying some of the more difficult members of the group 
 CaUichrominae I was indebted to the late M.' Bates for his 
 usual kind assistance. While to M.' Pascoe and to M."" Rene 
 Oberthiir I have to render thanks, for the facilities they gave 
 me in examining types from their collections.

 as to whether these differences are specific or merely individual 
 must, however, be left in abeyance. It can only be settled by 
 the examination of a larger series of examples.

 vol. Ill, p. 502. 
 
 Mt. Hcanlain in Upper Burma. One example. 
 
 In the single example taken, the front and the upper side of 
 the head are dark brown ; and the small prothoracic spines are 
 somewhat more distinct than in the other examples of T. calli- 
 dioides that I liave seen. It ought perhaps to be referred to 
 T. nigriceps, Pasc, but the characters (with the single exception 
 of the colour of the head) by which M.' Pascoe has distinguished 
 the latter species do not well apply to the present variety. 
 
 14. Tetraommatus insignis, sp. n. [PL I, fig. 1). Ferrugineo- 
 testaceus, spursim pubescens; prolhorace anlice posticeque Iransversim

 Thagata in Tenasserim ; one example. The British Museum 
 collection contains examples from the Andaman Islands. 
 
 Head and prothorax dull ferruginous-red. The length of the 
 protliorax to its median breadth in the ratio of 3 to 2. The 
 prothorax is closely but somewhat obscurely punctured ; its sides 
 are slightly rounded, and eacli is armed Vk-ith a small but sharp 
 and distinct tubercle ; the consti'icted basal part of the protho-

 rax is preceded by a slightly arcuate transverse groove; there 
 is a feebler groove close to the anterior margin , and on the 
 posterior part of the disk there are tvs'o shallow longitudinal 
 grooves which pass in front into a broad shallow longitudinal 
 depression. Both the transverse and longitudinal grooves are 
 more or less infuscate. Scutellum testaceous. Elytra thickly 
 punctured ; yellowish-testaceous, with a brownish patch, formed 
 by two oblique bands which pass outwards and backwards from 
 the suture on each side between the middle and posterior third, 
 and by the dark borders of that portion of the suture which 
 lies between these bands: the posterior bands are short, the 
 anterior bands extend farther outwards, and, near the margin, 
 take an almost directly transverse direction.

 Myadoung in Upper Burma ; Carin Mts. (Asciuii Cheba dis- 
 trict) 1200-1300 m. ; Meetan in Tenasserim. Occurs also in 
 North India, where it appears to be widely distributed, and in 
 the Andaman Islands.

 Catcin Cauri in Upper Burma , and Carin Mts. , district of 
 Cheba. The Chinese examples upon which this species was 
 founded were in all probability (so M/ Bowring informs me) 
 obtained at Hong Kong or its immediate neighbourhood. 
 
 20. Hoplocerambyx spinicornis, Newm. — Hammalicherus spi- 
 nicornis, Newm., The Entomologist I (1842) p. 245. 
 
 Thagata in Tenasserim ; one male example. This species oc- 
 curs also in the Philippine Islands (type) ; and in North India — 
 Allahabad and Nepal (Brit. Mus. collection). Examples from 
 Borneo, constituting the //. morosus of Pascoe, do not seem to 
 me to offer any definite characters by which they can be distin- 
 guished from the above. The species appears to be subject to 
 great variation in size.

 Malewoon in Tenasserim. One small example. The localities 
 indicated above, to which may be added Siam and Java, evi- 
 dence the wideness of distribution of this species. Whether it is 
 an Oriental species, which has been transported to West Afi-ica, 
 or an African species which has been carried to the East, I 
 am unable to decide. 
 
 22. Pachydissus (Margites) exiguus, sp. n. Fuscus, griseo leviter 
 pubescens; anlennis pedibusque piceo-rufescenlibus, pube grisea le- 
 nuiter obteclis; prothorace supra inlricale hand forliler rugoso, 
 laleribus irregulariler rolundalis; anlennis quam corpore paullo 
 longioribus, arliculis 3° el 4" apice vix i)icrassalis, 3° quam 1° 
 vel 4° paullo longiori. Long. 11 mm. 
 
 One example taken at Mandalay. This species resembles 
 P. (Margites) egenus, Pasc. in coloration, but is of much smaller 
 size. The prothorax lias a thin unicolorous greyish pubescence. 
 
LOiNGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 11 
 
 The third and fourth joints of the antennae are scarcely thickened 
 towards the apex ; the fourth is about equal in length to the first ; 
 the third and fifth are subequal, each a little longer than the fourth. 
 
 23. Dymasius fulvescens, sp. n. {PL I, fig. 2). Piceo-fusciis; ca- 
 pite, prothoracis macidis elytrisque pube fulvo-grisea opaca sal dense 
 obteclis, prothorace quam latiludine lo7igiori, supra intricato-rugoso, 
 laleraiiter parum rotundalo ; elytris poslice gradalim anguslatis , 
 apicibus truncalis, ad sutaram spinosis; corpora sublus, pedibus 
 antennisque griseo leviter pubescentibus, antennis quam corpora pauUo 
 longioribus, articulo 3° quam 4° fere duplo longiori, articulis a 
 5." ad 10."" apice intus spinoso-produclis. Long. 20 7nm. 
 
 Hab. Carin (Ghecu) : Alt. 1300-1400 metres. One example. 
 
 Pitchy brown. Head with a rather close fulvous-grey pube- 
 scence, which is wanting only in the somewhat circular depres- 
 sion limiting the frontal plaque, and in the short shallow groove 
 between the antennary tubers. Prothorax longer than broad, 
 slightly rounded at the sides, narrower ip front than at the 
 base, intricately and rather strongly rugose above and at the 
 sides ; with a fulvous-grey pubescence limited to the anterior 
 border and to a few patches on the anterior part of the disk. 
 Scutellum and elytra clothed with a dense dull fulvous-grey 
 pubescence, which almost completely hides the underlying derm. 
 Elytra gradually narrowed from base to apex, each truncate 
 behind, and spinose at the suture. First joint of the posterior 
 tarsus as long as the two succeeding joints combined. 
 
 Antennae (9?) surpassing the elytra by about the last two 
 joints ; the fourth joint perceptibly shorter than the scape, and 
 scarcely more than half the length of the third joint; with the 
 joints from the 5.* to the 10.^^ spinosely produced at their 
 inner apex, each about equal in length to the 3.''* ; 11. ♦'^ scar- 
 cely longer than the 10."' 
 
 24. Mallambyx ? sp. 
 
 Carin Mts., Asciuii Cheba. One imperfect example. 
 
 As the antennae are wanting it is impossible to refer this 
 species with certainty to any particular genus. It seems to me 
 to belong to Mallambgx or perhaps to a new genus.

 25. Trachylophus sinensis, Gahan, Ann. >k Mag. Nat. Hist., 
 Ser. 6, vol. II, p. 60. 
 
 Carin Mts., district of Ghecii; Alt. 1300-1400 m.; also South 
 China, ? Hong Kong (Brit. Mus. collection). The occurrence of 
 this species as tar South as the Carin I\Its. makes me inclined to 
 helieve that the differences upon which I relied for the separation 
 of examples from Java, under the name of T. approximator, may 
 be of an individual ratlier than of a specific character. 
 
 26. Xoanodera regularis, Gahan, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., 
 Ser. 6, vol. V, p. 52. 
 
 Thagata in Tenasserim ; also occurs in X. India.

 S>st. Ent., p. 189. 
 
 Taken at Rangoon, Tharrawaddy and Prome (Pegu) by Si- 
 gnor Fea ; and at Tharrawaddy by M.' Corbett. This widely 
 distributed species seems to be very common throughout nearly 
 the whole of India. 
 
 29. Stromatium asperulum , Wliite , Cat. Longic. Brit. Mus., 
 p. 300. 
 
 Teinzo in Upper Burma. One example. .\lso occurs in North 
 India, South China, Siam and Penang. 
 
 30. Hesperophanes erosus, sp. n. Piceo-brunneus , pube breve 
 griseo-brunnea, supra mnciilalim disposita, vestilus; capile sat dense 
 pubescente, supra linea media impresso: prothorace supra convexo, 
 obsolete pwnelulalo, maculis longitudinalibus irregularibus griseo- 
 brunneis, dorso anlice in medio punctis paucis magnis hand pro- 
 funde impresso; scutello griseo; elytris crebre fortitvrque punctatis, 
 pube griseo-brunnea maculatim disposita, utrisque lineis duabus 
 obsolete elevatis, apicibus rolundatis; corpore subtus. pedibus anten- 
 nisque leviter pubescentibus; his medium elytrorum paullo exceden- 
 libus. 9 Long. 23 mm. 
 
 One example, taken at Meetan in Tenasserim. Of a reddish 
 iirown colour, somewhat darker above. Head with a rather dense 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 13 
 
 greyish brown pubescence ; with a median impressed line above. 
 Prothorax convex above and below , strongly rounded at the 
 sides; with some irregular longitudinal spots or patches of 
 greyish brown pubescence, the spaces between which are obso- 
 letely punctured and opaque ; with a few large but shallow 
 punctures on the middle of the disk anteriorly. Elytra strongly 
 and very thickly punctured, eacli with two very feebly raised 
 longitudinal lines ; with a short closely laid pubescence disposed 
 in irregular and partly confluent spots or patches ; with the 
 naked intervening spaces somewhat glossy; apices obtusely 
 rounded. Body underneath, legs and antennae with a rather 
 thin greyish brown pubescence. Antennae in the female reaching 
 a little beyond the middle of the elytra. 
 
 This species is founded upon a single female specimen taken 
 at Meetan in Tenasserim. In the absence of the male sex, it is 
 uncertain whether the species should be referred to Stromalium 
 or Hesperophanes. 
 
 31. Gnatholea eburifera, Thom., Class, des Cerambycides, p. 375. 
 Thagata in Tenasserim; also Cambodia (type). 
 
 32. Gnatholea simplex, Gahan, Ann. 8i Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser.

 Taken by Signor Fea at Prome in Pegu and at Mandalay in 
 Upper Burma; the type specimens in the Brit. Mus. collection 
 are from Darjeeling in N. India. The species lias also been 
 captured at Tharawaddy by M.' Corbett.

 Taken at Prome in Pegu. A widely distributed species. The 
 Oemona philippensi^ of Newman (Entomologist I , p. 246) is 
 
14 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 distinct from this species, and is to be referred to the genus 
 Examnes of Pascoe. 
 
 36. Obrium posticum, sp. n. Faloo-lesCaceum; capitis fronle, pe- 
 dibus {dimidiis basalibus femorum exceplis), elijtrorumque apicibus 
 piceo-nigris; anlennis arliculis 4 basalibus nigris, ceteris obscure 
 fulvis. Long. 9 mm. 
 
 Mandalay. One example. This species has the general appea- 
 rance of Obrium cantharinum, Linn. It is of about the same 
 size ; and the punctuation is very similar in the two species. 
 It may be distinguished by the black front of the head, the 
 black apex of the elytra and the black legs. The prothorax ap- 
 pears slightly broader, in proportion to the size of the insect, 
 than in 0. canlharinum; and the tubercle on the posterior median 
 part of the disk is almost quite obsolete. 
 
 Ibidionidum, g. n. 
 
 Head projecting ; front declivous , short , separated from the 
 epistome by a transverse groove. Eyes prominent , coarsely 
 facetted. Antennae a little longer than the body in both sexes, 
 with the scape curved and gradually thickened towards the 
 apex , the second joint short , the third scarcely more than 
 twice as long as the second, the fourth a little longer than 
 the third, the fifth and following joints subequal, each much 
 longer than the fourtli. Prothorax elongate, cylindrical, with 
 a conical tubercle at the middle of each side , constricted 
 behind the base of the tubercles, and also, but less strongly 
 so, in front of them. Elytra a little more than twice as long 
 as the prothorax , gradually narrowed posteriorly , with the 
 apices rounded. Pro- and meso-sterna simple , the former 
 dilated behind so as to complete the closure of the anterior 
 cotyloid cavities. Anterior and intermediate cotyloid cavities 
 completely closed in on the outside. Legs moderately long ; 
 femora abruptly clavate at the apex, pedunculate at the base. 
 Aljdomen much narrowed towards the apex. 
 
 .Uale. First abdominal segment elongated, equal in length to 
 the four succeeding segments combined.

 Female. First and second abdominal segments elongated, the 
 tirst a little longer than the second, the latter as long as the 
 succeeding segments combined. 
 
 37. Ibidionidum Corbetti, sp. n. {PL I, fig. 3). Sparsim cUialus, 
 leslaceus; prolhorace quam laliludine basis duplo longiore, supra 
 utrinque leviter hinodoso, sparsim ciliato ; elylris testaceo-fulvis , 
 griseo subtililer puhescenlibus, seriatim punctalis, punctis setigeris. 
 Long. 7-10 mm. 
 
 Hab. Burma. Two examples, a male and female, were captured 
 by M.' Fea at Yenang Young; the species has also been taken 
 at Paungde by M."" G. Q. Corbett. 
 
 The elongated thorax, somewhat raised and curved anteriorly, 
 gives this little species the aspect of one of the Ibidioninae. Its 
 characters show, however, that it belongs to the Obrionides. 
 
 38. Thranius simplex, sp. n. Fusco-teslaceus, corpore sublus pe- 
 dibusque testaceis, his clavis femorum piceis, antennis fusco-ferru- 
 gineis articulis 8°, 9°-que testaceo-fulvis: capile prolhoraceque griseo- 
 flavo pubescentibus, hoc antice lateraliter compresso, dorso gibboso 
 el in gibbo summo sub-asperato: elylris fusco-ferrugineis-, crebre 
 fortilerque punctatis, ntrisque liiiea longitudinali paullo elevata et 
 ad basin exlremam luberculo parvo inslructis , apicibus ulrisque in 
 spinam produclis. Long. 20 mm. 
 
 Carin Mts. (district of Ghecu). One example. 
 
 This species may be distinguished from T. gibbosus (with 
 which it agrees somewhat closely in structural characters) by 
 the rather dark brown colour of the entire elytra. 
 
 So tar as I can judge from the description of Singalia, and 
 of its type species, this genus, which Lacordaire placed in the 
 group of the Saperdides, appears to me to have been founded 
 upon the Thranius gibbosus of Pascoe. Lacordaire himself reco- 
 gnized that the genus presented characters which were quite 
 unusual in tlie group. But I feel strongly convinced that he 
 overlooked the fact that the characters wei-e not only foreign 
 to the group, but even to the sub-family of the Lamiidae itself. 
 Lacordaire was not unacquainted with the genus Thranius, for 
 he has given a very full description of it in its proper place. 
 
16 r. .1. GAHAN 
 
 Bates has also added to the genus Singalia a species from 
 Japan. I have seen tlie type of this species (S. riifescens. Bates, 
 Journ. Linn. Soc. XVIII, p. 258), which is in the collection of 
 M.'' Lewis. It belongs to the genus Thranius, and somewhat 
 resembles the species described above, but is shorter and stouter 
 in form, and not quite so dark in colour.

 Thagata ( ^) and Moulmein ( 9 ) in Tenasserim. In the male 
 type from Thagata the pro thorax is rather strongly and some- 
 what abruptly constricted at the apex ; between this and the mid- 
 dle its sides are slightly dilated and rounded, and, between the 
 middle and the base, feebly sinuate ; the upper side is crossed 
 by some feeble and not very regular ridges, and is without 
 any distinct signs of punctuation. The elytra are only slightly 
 sinuate on each side just behind the base, and not distinctly 
 emarginate as in P. haemalica , Pasc. ; they are entirely red , 
 with the exception of a slight infuscation on the anterior part 
 of the suture, and are nowhere glossy, tlie punctures being 
 closely and evenly distributed over the whole surface, and not 
 much larger towards the base than at the apex. The third joint 
 of the antennae is a little longer than the first or fourth. 
 
 Tiie female example , taken at Moulmein , differs from the 
 male just described in having much shorter antennae ; its pro- 
 thorax is less abruptly constricted at the apex, and has the 
 upper surface very closely and somewliat rugosely punctured :

 its abdomen is entirely of a dull reddisli tint. The agreement 
 in other respects is, however, so close, tliat I have no hesitation 
 in referring it to the same species. 
 
 P. scapularis, Pasc, seems (so far as I can judge of it from 
 the figure and description) to be nearl\ related to the present 
 species.

 This species is represented by examples which may be ar-

 structural character by which I can distinguish them. 
 
 The larger forms were taken at Carin (Asciuii Cheba) Alt. 
 1200-1300 m. The smaller variety was taken at Carin (Cheba). 
 Alt. 900-1100 m., and also at Thagata in Tenasserim.

 In the catalogue of Gemminger and Harold this species is to be 
 found placed as a synonym of L. argenlalus. Dalm. The two 
 species are, however, distinct. In sinense the joints of the anten- 
 nae from the 7.'*' to the 10."' are each acutely angular at the 
 inner apex ; in argentatus the joints from the b}^ to the 10.i*> 
 are each produced into a spine at tlie inner apex. The apex 
 of the last ventral segment in the female of sinense is distinctly 
 emarginate ; the corresponding segment in argentatus ( 9 ) is 
 rounded and entire at the apex. 
 
 L. sinense is most nearly allied to L. sublruncatum, Bates, 
 which it resembles by its obtusely rounded or subtruncate apices 
 of the elytra; but from which it is to be distinguished by the 
 structure of the prothorax.

 A single male specimen was taken at Carin Mts. (Cheba 
 district) at an altitude between 900 and 1100 m. The species 
 occurs also in Tenasserim. 
 
 This species closely resembles P. bizonalus. White; but differs 
 from it as follows : Prothorax more regularly strigose towards 
 the sides of the disk; the anterior margin of the pronotum 
 somewhat obtusely produced in the middle. Elytra with a gla- 
 brous rugose-punctate area, somewhat cordate in shape, just 
 behind the scutellum. (The corresponding area in P. bizonalus 
 is bluish-black and opaque and not more strongly punctate than 
 the rest of the surface). The posterior margin of the fifth abdo- 
 minal segment in the male is almost directly transverse, that 
 of the sixth segment is sinuately emarginate. (In /*. bizonalus 
 botii segments are deeply and sinuately emarginate behind). 
 
 The present species does not differ from /'. telraspilolus, Hope 
 by any good structural characters, and may possibly prove to 
 be only a variety, distinguished by having two transverse bands, 
 instead of four spots, on the elytra.

 This species was described from a single specimen obtained 
 by M/ Hampson in the Nilghiri Hills, South India. It is one of 
 those intermediate forms that connect the genera Xylotrechus 
 and Clytus. I have placed it in the former genus, owing to the 
 presence on the front of the head of a median longitudinal 
 groove with raised edges in the form of carinae, and of a short 
 sharp edge or carina on each side just over the antennary con- 
 dyle.

 Head and prothorax with a yellowish pubescence. The front 
 of the head with a median black line; obsoletely grooved between 
 the lower lobes of the eyes, and with a short sharp edge on 
 each side just over the antennary condyle. Prothorax rounded 
 at the sides, marked above by a dark brown figure somewhat 
 resembling a cross whose arms are supported on each side by 
 a triangular or nearlj' oblong spot ; on each side of the pro- 
 
20 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 thorax there is a small rounded fuscous spot. Scutellum yellow. 
 The elytra may be described as dark velvety brown, with yel- 
 lowish bands, of which the first, near the base, is somewhat 
 roughly x shaped ; the second triangular, with its apex just in 
 front of- its base behind- the middle, and its sides slightly 
 concave ; the third is a transverse fascia occupying the apical 
 fifth but without reaching the outer margin. That part of the 
 elytra between the basal margin and the x shaped patch is 
 testaceous in colour and is partly clothed with yellowish pube- 
 scence. The apices are truncate, each very shortly mucronate 
 at the outer angle. Body underneath with a yellowish pube- 
 scence ; each of the last foui- abdominal segments dark brown 
 and nitid anteriorly. Legs and antennae testaceous, with the 
 hind femora infuscate towards the apex. 
 
 Tiie peculiar marking of this pretty little species will admit 
 of its being easily recognized. I have named it in honour of 
 D."" Gestro who lias already done so much to advance the study 
 of Coleoptera.

 Carin Mts. (Cheba) : alt. 900-1100 m. Two females. Palon 
 in Pegu one male. The species occurs also in India — Sylhet 
 and Madras — and in Siam; and is of economic importance, in- 
 asmuch as it is injurious to the coffee-plant (vide Dunning , 
 op. supra cit.). Chevrolat described the female. In this sex tlie 
 front of the head has five nearly parallel and equidistant raised 
 lines or carinae, of which the two intermediate are shorter than 
 the rest and do not extend to the vertex. In the male the front 
 of the head has two elongate, very finely granular and opaque 
 black spots, one on each side between the median and the outer 
 raised lines, and each is bounded by a very narrow and slightly 
 raised line. In other respects, a sliglit difference in the length 
 of tho antennae excepted, the two sexes closely resemble each 
 other.

 Two examples ( (/" and 9 ) taken at Thagata in Tenasserim. 
 
 Male with a thin greyish pubescence on the head and pro- 
 thorax, with a faint sub-nude blackish patch on the middle of 
 the prothorax posteriorly. Head and prothorax of the female 
 with a yellowish pubescence ; with a distinct black band ex- 
 tending along the middle of the pronotum almost from the base 
 to the apex, and widening out posteriorly; with a rounded black 
 area or spot on each side of the prothorax. The bands of the 
 elytra in both sexes are as represented in the fig. of X. Buqueti, 
 L. & G. (loc. supra cit.) The female differs further from the 
 male by the form of the last dorsal segment of the abdomen ; 
 this segment is strongly emarginate at the apex in the female, 
 and is rounded and not emarginate in the male. The single 
 male specimen in the present collection agrees well with the 
 male type of A'. Phidias^ Newm. The female resembles closely 
 the figure of X. Buqueti, L. & G. in all but the colour, of the 
 pubescence on the head and prothorax which in Buqueti is des- 
 cribed, and also shown in the plate, to be cinereous grey and 
 not yellowish. The black spots on the sides of the prothorax are 
 also larger than in Buqueti; though two female examples from 
 Burma in the British Museum have these spots smaller than in 
 the female taken by Signer Fea. It is possible that X. Buqueti 
 has been described from the male of a very closely allied species, 
 and it is with doubt, therefore, that 1 regard it as synonymous 
 with A'. Phidias.

 Thagata in Tenasserim ; and Mandalay in Upper Burma. 
 
 Prothorax rounded at the sides, somewhat widened from the 
 base to beyond the middle and thence strongly narrowing to 
 the apex ; somewhat sparsely asperately punctured along the 
 middle above, the disk with two black spots or a transverse 
 black patch. The first cinereous band of the elytra runs across 
 the base on each side from the scutellum to the humeral de- 
 pression where it is slightly turned backwards; the second begins 
 at the suture a little behind the scutellum, diverges from the suture 
 while passing backwards for some distance, then curves round 
 to take an anterior and outward direction, and is again sharply 
 bent backwards just before reaching the outer margin : the 
 third band, placed just behind the middle, is narrow and slightly 
 oblique in its outer half, -and is angulately dilated both anteriorly 
 and posteriorly at the suture ; the fourth is a rather broad and 
 somewhat oblique band placed at the apex. The body underneath 
 is closely covered with an ashy-white pubescence. The legs are 
 black, with a faint greyish pubescence; the first joint of the 
 posterior tarsi is nearly three times as long as the two succeed- 
 ing joints combined. 
 
 The female differs from the male , not only by its shorter 
 antennae, but also by the yellowish-grey colour of its elytral 
 bands, and by having an illdefined longitudinal yellowish-grey 
 band on each side of the prothorax above. 
 
 This species seems closely allied to P. dnernis, L. it G. (Mon. 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 23 
 
 des Clytus, p. 68, pi. 13, fig. 79), and to P. fuliginosus, Chevr. 
 — the type of Chevrolat's genus Amaureslhes. It has a very similar 
 style of marking to the former, but difters from both by the 
 sparser punctuation along the middle of the pronotum, and by 
 the black patch on the middle of the disk. I do not find that 
 Amaureslhes can be distinguished by any definite characters 
 from Perissus. The three species just mentioned agree in having 
 their prothorax a little bulged out just behind the middle; but, 
 so far as I can see , there is no other character of the least 
 generic importance by which they differ from typical species of 
 Perissus. 
 
 The Clylus cinereus of Lap. & Gory (= C. Duponii (Dej.) 
 Muls.) appears under the genus Clytus in Reitter's Catalogue 
 of European Coleoptera: but if the genus Perissus is to be re- 
 tained , as , for convenience sake , I think it may, it ought to 
 include C. cinereus.

 Long. 8 mm. 
 
 Two examples taken at Thagata in Tenasserim. 
 
 This species has at first sight a strong resemblance to the 
 preceding, but may be distinguished by its more parallel-sided 
 prothorax, which is moreover without a transverse black space 
 above. The scutellum is wholly cinereous. The antemedian band 
 of the elytra begins a little behind the scutellum, passes back- 
 wards and outwards, diverging rather strongly fi-om the suture, 
 is then turned slightly forward, and reaches the outer margin 
 without undergoing a second bend.

24 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 Head and prothorax minutely granulose, their colour varying 
 from ferruginous red to black. The prothorax with a transverse 
 sub-nude space on the middle of the disk. Scutellum and the 
 latero-basal margins of the prothorax whitish. Elytra dull vel- 
 vety black with ashy and grey markings, of which the first 
 consists of a band on each which commences at the suture just 
 behind the scutellum, passes oblicjuely backwards for some dis- 
 tance without strongly diverging from its fellow, and is then 
 directed almost straight outwards so as nearly to reach the 
 external margin, the second is a transverse or slightly arcuate 
 band crossing the elytra at about the middle, and gradually 
 becoming wider towards the suture so as to have a somewhat 
 shortly triangular form ; the third is a transverse band , of a 
 somewhat darker grey colour, which occupies a little more than 
 the apical fifth. The first two segments of the abdomen, and 
 two bands on each side of the breast (one longitudinal and one 
 oblique) are of an ashy-white colour ; the hinder segments of 
 the abdomen have a darker grey pubescence. 
 
 The head in this species is more flattened between the an- 
 tennae and more regularly rounded from the vertex to the front 
 than in other species of the genus. In tliis respect it approaches 
 the African genus Ccdanlhemis, Thorns. 
 
 For the four following species I use the generic term Calo- 
 clijlHS (') in preference to Clylanlhus, believing that the latter 
 name would be better restricted to certain Central American 
 species which are distinguished by having a longitudinal groove 
 or depression on each side of the elytral suture limited on the 
 outside by a more or less distinct carina. The genus Clylanlhus, 
 thus restricted, is more allied to Ochreslhes, than to the Euro- 
 pean and Asiatic species hitherto included in the former genus.

 The style of marking of this species somewhat resembles 
 that of Perissus mutabilis; but the species may be easily distin- 
 guished from the latter by the greater length of its antennae, 
 and, especially, by the form of the head, which in Perissus is 
 broad and level between the antennae, but in Caloelytus is nar- 
 rower and concave in this region.

 Two examples from Carin Mts. (Cheba district). Alt. 900-1100 m. 
 
 With a buff grey pubescence above. Prothorax with four 
 black spots placed transversely in front of the middle, of 
 which two only are visible when looked at from above, \yith 
 one, or three, narrow and less distinct black spots, running 
 longitudinally between the middle and the base. Elytra each 
 with a V-shaped black figure between the middle and the base, 
 the inner branch of which is joined to its fellow of the opposite 
 side by a short transverse bar just behind the scutellum , so 
 that the combined figures are somewhat in the shape of a W ; 
 with a crescentic black spot or fascia behind the middle, the 
 horns of which are ])rolonged anteriorly, the inner horn joining, 
 at the suture, the corresponding one of the other elytron ; with 
 a somewhat rounded black spot about midway between the 
 crescentic spot and the apex. 
 
 This species has (notwithstanding the difference in markings) 
 a general resemblance to Grammographus Horsfieldi, White, 
 and I should have included it in the latter genus, were it not 
 that certain joints of the antennae are shortly spined — a character 
 wanting to G. Horsfiddi.

 One female example taken at Carin Mts. (Cheba district) at 
 an alt. of 900-1100 m. 
 
 Head, prothorax, legs, antennae and underside of the body 
 with a greyish pubescence ; the basal margin of the prothorax 
 on each side, and the sides of the breast and two first abdominal 
 segments whitish. Prothorax slightly rounded at the sides, co- 
 vered above and at the sides with thin feebly raised lines which 
 run together to form a very line reticulation. Elytra dark brown, 
 somewhat lighter in colour towards the base, marked with ashy-

 white bands, of which the first begins at the scutellum, accom- 
 panies the suture for a short distance, then slightly diverges 
 and, at about the termination of the anterior third of the elytra, 
 is turned straight outwards towards the margin which it does 
 not quite reach, the second band is placed transversely a little 
 behind the middle and is somewhat produced anteriorly along 
 the suture, the third band, also transverse, is at the apex. The 
 antennae in the female (the only sex represented) are somewhat 
 shorter than the body, with a rather long and slender spine at 
 the outer termination of the third and fourth joints.

 The specimens taken at Cheba differ slightly from the type 
 as follows : — The two black spots of the prothorax are more 
 distinct. The second ashy-grey band of the elytra is not in the 
 form of a short broad W as in the type, but is interrupted at 
 the suture so as to have the appearance of a distinct and sepa- 
 rate V on each elytron.

 Head with a somewhat golden pubescence ; with a median 
 glabrous impressed black line extending from the epistome to 
 the occiput. Antennae a little longer than the body ; joints 1"' 
 and 4."' subequal, each scarcely more than half as long as the 
 third; fifth and following sub-equal, each longer than fourth 
 and shorter than third. Prothorax with its length to breadth in 
 ratio of 3 to 2 ; somewhat rounded at the sides ; slightly cons- 
 tricted at the base, narrowed from the middle up to the anterior 
 margin, with a very feeble constriction about midway between 
 these two points;, covered on all sides with a somewhat golden pu- 
 bescence which is rather duller on the upper side. Elytra strongly 
 punctured; chalybeate- blue, with a golden pubescence which more 
 or less closely covers the upper surface with the exception of two 
 transverse and slightly oblique bands on each elytron near the 
 middle, and a less clearly defined longitudinal l:)and passing from 
 the shoulder to join the anterior of the two transverse bands. 
 
 The arrangement of the pubescence in this species somewhat 
 resembles that of Glaucyles inlerrwpla, Oliv. This character enables 
 it to be easily distinguished from Polyphida clytoides, Pasc, in 
 which the elytra have a silvery pubescence arranged in a pat- 
 tern similar to that of many Clylinae.

 are yellowish-white. Furnished with some long, rather sparsely 
 scattered sub-erect setae. Upper part of the head, the prothorax 
 and the scape of the antennae minutely and very closely pun- 
 ctured, with tlie punctures on the middle of the pronotum running 
 together in a longitudinal direction and imparting to the disk 
 a slightly rugose appearance. Elytra with strong, somewhat 
 transversely elongated, punctures arranged in four rows on each. 
 The inner-most row is close to the sutural edge, and is made 
 up of smaller punctures than those of the other rows ; the second 
 runs along the middle of the dorsal part of the elytron and 
 has on its inner side, near the base, a feebly raised line; the 
 third and most distinct row sets out from the basal depression 
 just above the shoulder, and, along its inner border, has a clearly 
 marked raised line ; the fourth row runs back from the humeral 
 prominence, and its punctures are slightly distant from one 
 another. The raised lines and the large punctures do not extend 
 on to the posterior sixth of the elytra; but this part, and the 
 interstices over the remainder of the elytra are very minutely 
 and closely punctulate, and covered by a very faint dark-brown 
 or blackish pubescence. The apices of the elytra are rounded. 
 The legs, except at the base, are blackish, sub-nitid and sparsely 
 setose. The antennae ( 9 ?) are nearly twice as long as the body, 
 they are covered with a very short pubescence, and the joints 
 are furnished underneath with some very long close-lying hairs ; 
 the third joint is about equal in length to the fourth. 
 
 Though readily distinguishable from Nericonia trifasciataj Pasc. 
 the above species agrees with it very well in structural characters. 
 The two species placed by Pascoe in Melegena differ by no very 
 strongly marked characters, but may be distinguished by the 
 emarginated and toothed (or spinose) apices of the elytra; and 
 their somewhat less strongly clavate femora. In all of there as 
 in the other members of the group Disleniides there is an oblique 
 groove or notch on the tibiae of the middle pair; and there is 
 also an oblique, though less distinct, groove on the ventral side 
 of the tibiae of the anterior pair similar to that which is so 
 characteristic of the Longicorns of the subfamily Lamiidae.

 almost as far as the upper lobes of the eyes and gradually 
 narrowing in front. Prothorax above with four indistinct falvous 
 vittae, two near the middle and one on each side just above 
 the lateral spine. Scutellum pubescent, with a median line naked 
 black and glossy. Elytra punctate, with an ashy-grey pubescence, 
 interrupted by faint irregular brownish patches ; each elytron 
 at the base with two short arcuate velvety-black vittae which 
 include some black shining granules, the shoulders also are 
 granulate. The body underneath and the legs have an ashy or 
 fulvous pubescence, which is interrupted by numerous small 
 naked points. The mesosternum is very feebly carinate in the 
 middle. Antennae with a greyish pubescence. 
 
 This species may be easily recognized by the peculiar eye-like 
 arrangement of spots at the base of each elytron. There is a 
 similar eye- like spot in Morimus? diophthalmus, Pascoe but the 
 latter species is easily to be distinguished by its shorter, more 
 robust, and strongly punctured antennae ; by its shorter meta- 
 sternum ; and by many other characters.

LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 35 
 
 This species, which was founded upon a specimen from the 
 mountains of Sumatra, appears to be common in the hilly dis- 
 tricts of North India. I have seen many examples from Assam, 
 and a large series from Mungphu in Sikkim. In the Sumatran 
 example, figured by Ritsema, the elytral spots seem to be of 
 much less than the average size. The few examples from Burma 
 that I have seen may be regarded as constituting a variety, 
 characterized by the distinct, tiiough by no means strong, tu- 
 berculation of the mesosternum. The elytral spots in this variety 
 form seven irregular transverse series. I have noticed a tendency 
 towards a tuberculation of the mesosternum in some of the 
 North Indian examples; so that I am inclined to believe that 
 we have here a single variable species , rather than two or 
 three distinct, though closely allied, forms.

 This species is known also from Japan and China ; and from 
 Assam, Nepal and other districts in North India. 
 
 Hope's diagnosis of Lamia cervina is too brief to be of the 
 least use in the identification of the species ; especially as there 
 are many closely allied and very similar forms. I regret, the- 
 refore, that, in deference to the law of priority, I am obliged to 
 displace the more recent and better known name. In the British 
 Museum collection there are two abnormal examples of this spe- 
 cies, from Hong Kong, in which the antennae are nine-jointed.

 Closely allied to H. cervinus, Hope, from which it differs by 
 having the scape of the antennae slightly narrower and more 
 cylindrical, and scarcely perceptibly longer ; and the head spar- 
 sely punctured in front, and on tliat part of the vertex which 
 lies between the antennae and the upper lobes of the eyes. In 
 H. cervinus the head is usually entirely impunctate, though in 
 three or four, out of the many examples that I have seen, tliere 
 are a few widely dispersed punctures on the front. 
 
 I have seen only females of the present species; the male 
 will probably be found to have joints B.'^'^-S."' of the antennae 
 thickened as in //. cervinus.

 Palon in Pegu: also taken in Tharawaddj- by Mr. Corbett. 
 
 This species closely resembles //. cervinus, Hope, but is to be 
 distinguished by the length of the antennal scape , which is 
 rather more than two-thirds of the length of the third joint. 
 When the antennae are turned back over the sides of the pro- 
 thorax , the scape extends beyond the lateral thoracic spine. 
 In H. cervinus, the scape, when in a similar position, does not 
 reach to the thoracic spine; it is scarcely more than half as 
 long as the third joint.

 This species , though of somewhat smaller size , has the ge- 
 neral aspect of H. cervinus, Hope, and its allies; but it has a 
 distinctly paler pubescence which varies in colour from an almost 
 ashy-grey to a light yellowish-grey ; the pronotum and the ely- 
 tra are more minutely and much more closely punctured; and 
 joints 3'''' - W^ of the male antennae are not sensibly thickened. 
 The front of the head is slightly transverse , and is minutely 
 and somewhat sparsely punctured; the vertex has also a few 
 minute punctures. The scape of the antennae in the male is 
 a little more than half as long as the third joint. The elytra 
 are rounded at the apex.

 Carin Mts. (district of Ghecu) at an altitude of from 1300-

 This species somewhat resembles //. cei-vinus, Hope, but may 
 distinguished by the form of the antennal scape, which is strongly 
 thickened to the apex , and by the absence of any evident 
 thickening of the third , fourth and fifth joints. The joints of 
 the antennae from the third are testaceous in colour with a 
 slight infuscation at the tips. The pubescence , which in the 
 present condition of the type specimen is dull, would probably 
 in the fresh state exhibit a silky or satiny lustre.

 Carin Mts. (district of Cheba), alt. 900-1100 m. 
 
 This species is to be distinguished from the preceding by the 
 less uniform pubescence of its elytra, the general greyish-brown 
 tint of which is diversified by some irregular spots and points 
 of a somewhat dark-brown colour ; and , more particularly, by 
 the narrowness of the front of its head. The scape of the an- 
 tennae is rather short and obconical, with a broad and distinct 
 but incompletely margined cicatrix at the apex; the third and 
 following joints are slender, the third is more than twice as 
 long as the scape, the fourth is manifestly, the fifth scarcely, 
 shorter than the third.

 Mecolagus, by which it has since been generally known. M. tes- 
 sellalus, Guer. (1. c), the type of the genus, is probably iden- 
 tical with, or, at most, a variety of M. tigrinus, Oliv.

 the type (with which , througli M. Rene Oberthiir's kindness , 
 I have been enabled to compare it) is broken up into spots, 
 of which the first series consists of three, oblong or quadrate, 
 near the base of each elytron, the second of two on each ely- 
 tron — one, smaller, lateral, the other larger and transverse, near 
 the suture; the third row is made up of one large transverse 
 spot towards the side of each elytron, and of two smaller spots 
 on the left elytron and one on the right elytron , near the 
 suture ; the fourth row consists of two spots on each elytron — 
 one, large, transverse, towards the sides, one, smaller, close to 
 the suture. This row is succeeded by a large spot at the apex 
 of each elytron. In its remaining characters the specimen agrees 
 well with the type. 
 
 There is an example from Siam in the British Museum col- 
 lection , in which the third and fourth bands of the right ely- 
 tron are broken into spots near the suture, and exhibit a want 
 of symmetry in relation to the bands of the left elytron. It is 
 probable , therefore , that a considerable amount of individual 
 variation exists with regard to the arrangement of the pube- 
 scence in this species.

 I have no hesitation in referring to this species two fine male 
 examples which were taken at Thagata in Tenasserim. 
 
 The pubescent bands of the elytra in these examples are of 
 a beautiful golden green colour. Mr. Ritsema's supposition that 
 the grey colour of the pubescence in his specimen was « due 
 to their having been preserved for some time in spirits » is 
 thus shown to be correct. The characters by which the species 
 has been stated to differ from M. zonator are clearly evidenced 
 in the two examples before me.

 Taken on the Catcin Mts. ; at Carin Mts. (district of Asciuii 
 Cheba) at an altitude of 1200-1300 m., at Rangoon in Lower 
 Burma, and at Bhamo in Upper Burma. 
 
 This species is allied to, and closely resembles, A. reticulalor, 
 Fabr. It has, however, somewhat smaller ochreous spots on the 
 elytra and differs , especially, by the complete absence of tufts 
 of black hairs from the fourth and fifth joints of the antennae. 
 The third joint only is furnished with a thick tuft of black hairs. 
 The species resembles A. dathralor, Thorns, in the smaller size 
 of the ochreous spots of the elytra. 
 
 I have seen a considerable number of examples of this species 
 from Burma, and in all, without exception, the fourth and fifth 
 joints of the antennae have the characters mentioned above.

 I have seen examples in Bates's collection thicketed Aristobia

 don , recognized Thomson's species in my type. All the exam- 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 41 
 
 pies I have seen have a pale grey or ashy-grey pubescence , 
 not a yellowish pubescence , as in the specimens described by 
 Thomson. In his description also the prothorax is said to have 
 some yellow spots above, but I think I have more correctly 
 described it as grey (or yellowish) with numerous small black 
 spots above. The difference in coloration is doubtless to be attri- 
 buted , as M. Oberthiir suggests , to the action of the spirit in 
 which some of the specimens were preserved.

 Head and prothorax with a rather thin greyish pubescence. 
 Prothorax with numerous rather closely placed black granules 
 which extend over almost the whole upper surface except the 
 anterior and posterior borders. Elytra closely and rather strongly 
 punctured at the base and along the middle, the punctures dis-

 iring posteriorly : each with a somewhat roughly triangular 
 velvety brown patch at the side just behind the middle; this 
 patch bounded in front and behind by an oblique dirty white 
 patch which appears to be almost impunctate. The whole fore- 
 part of the elytra extending triangularly backwards between 
 the lateral plagae is dark brown in colour, and is clothed with 
 a faint greyish pubescence, with, here and there, a sprinkling 
 of fulvous. The posterior part of the elytra has a greyish pu- 
 bescence irregularly speckled with brown. The body underneath 
 and the legs have a greyish pubescence, with minute rounded 
 naked points wich appear reddish brown or dark brown accord-' 
 ing to the colour of the derm. The mesosternal process is dis- 
 tinctly, though not strongly, tubercled in the middle. 
 
 This species is somewhat closely allied to U. angusta, Pascoe , 
 but in the latter the velvety-brown lateral patch of the elytra 
 is slightly darker in colour, is obliquely placed , and has a 
 distinctly, though sparsely, punctured patch clothed with pale 
 greyish or cinereous pubescence, both in front of and behind it. 
 The anterior part of the elytra is as thickly covered with pube- 
 scence as the rest of the surface, so that the derm of that part 
 is almost completely concealed. The mesosternum is very faintly 
 or not at all, tubercled.

 line extending from the epistome to the thorax, with two short 
 oblique black lines on the vertex , each commencing at , and 
 appearing as a continuation of, the upper lobe of the eye. 
 Prothorax furnished at the middle of each side with a tolerably 
 strong spine, and just in front of the spine with a small tubercle; 
 the disk exhibiting a slightly raised area, somewhat cordate in 
 shape, of which the obtuse apex almost touches the scutellum, 
 and at the anterior extremity of which there is on each side 
 a very small tubercle ; along each side of the middle line there 
 are some closely placed black granules (which in the largest 
 specimen appear as two distinct black patches), and there are 
 a few scattered granules' extending on to the lateral part of 
 the disk and around the base of the lateral spine and tubercle ; 
 the pubescence of the prothorax is partly pale fulvous (chiefly 
 on the raised central area) but mostly dull greyish , with a 
 very small blackish spot surrounded by a whitish patch placed 
 on the side anterior to, and just above, the angle of the cotyloid 
 cavity. The scutellum is whitish, with a very small black point 
 in front. The elytra are somewhat asperately, but not densely 
 punctured at the base ; the punctures, becoming gradually feebler 
 posteriorly, entirely disappear at about the beginning of the 
 apical fourth. The velvety brown pubescence of the elytra is 
 limited to a larger irregular and somewhat broken patch occu- 
 pying the middle of the basal fourth , and to three , or more , 
 patches on each side, of which the one the nearest the middle 
 is much larger than the rest. The body underneath and the 
 legs vary from greyish-brown to brown , with a distinct spot 
 on each of the meso- and meta-thoracic epimera , some small 
 obscure spots on the abdomen, and a narrow sinuous ring near 
 the apex of each of the femora , wliitish. The antennae , more 
 than twice as long as the body in the male, and half as long 
 again as the body in the female, are brownish, with a fulvous 
 spot near the outer extremity of the scape, and a dull greyish 
 ring at the base of the third and following joints. The meso- 
 sternum is very feebly tubercled between the middle coxae.

 Head impunctate, with a brownish pubescence; the lower lobes 
 of the eyes large and somewhat rounded, reaching below almost 
 to the base of the mandibles. Scape of the antennae rather long 
 and cylindrical , equal in length to two thirds of the third joint ; 
 eleventh joint a little longer than the tenth. Prothorax with a 
 thick brownish pubescence, sparsely punctured above and with 
 two very feeble tubercles on each side above; scutellum cervi- 
 nous. Elytra with a light brown or fawn-coloured pubescence, 
 with the base and a somewhat triangular patch on each side 
 behind the middle infuscate, with minute rounded fuscous spots 
 which are sparsely scattered, and in the centre of each of which 
 there is a rather large puncture. The apices of the elytra are 
 truncate. The middle tibiae are without groove or tubercle. The 
 mesosternum is feebly tubercled between the middle coxae. 
 
 This species, which is smaller and narrower than Blepephaeus 
 succinclor, Chevr. appears to be nearly allied to Blepephaeus sub- 
 cruciatus, White {Monohammus') and still more closely to an un- 
 described form from North India.

 Carin Mts. (district of Cheba) , alt. 900-1100 metres. 
 
 Cinereous; with a transverse black band on tlie prothorax 
 which extends over, and embraces , the tubercle on each side , 
 with three somewhat irregularly formed transverse black bands 
 on the elytra and a rounded spot of the same colour on each 
 a little before the apex. The female antennae surpass the apex 
 of the elytra by about the last three or four joints ; joints 3-5 
 are subequal in length , and each is longer than the sixth or 
 seventh; joints 8-10 are also subequal, and each much shorter 
 than the seventh ; the eleventh is scarcely longer than the 
 tenth. 
 
 The last abdominal ventral segment of the female presents a 
 most unusual character. This segment is rather broadly emar- 
 ginated at the apex , the emargination being limited on each 
 side by a short blunt tooth; at a short distance in front of the 
 apical margin there projects from the ventral surface a lamellar 
 process, bidentate at its free extremity, with a narrow angular 
 emargination between the teeth ; a narrow transverse depression 
 somewhat wider in the middle, is enclosed between this process 
 and the downwardly curved apical portion of the segment, and 
 is thickly lined with fulvous hairs, the arrangement being such 
 that the depression itself might readily be mistaken for the 
 terminal opening. An exactly similar structure exists in the 
 females of Eutaenia trifasciella. White — the type of the genus. 
 The latter species differs from the one above described by hav- 
 ing distinctly shorter antennae (in the female at least), by the 
 tawny-yellow colour of its pubescence, and its narrower black 
 bands. 
 
 Eutaeniopsis , Galian , is a synonym of Eutaenia , Thoms. 
 Thomson's characterization of the genus is brief and somewhat 
 inaccurate. I have seen his type , through the kindness of 
 M. Rene Oberthiir, to whom I am happy to dedicate the new 
 species.

 Dark brown, prothorax with four fulvous lines above; elytra 
 with some velvety black spots and with numerous minute ful- 
 vous and grey spots which here and there run together. Head 
 with the inner horns of the strong and vertical antennal tuber- 
 cles meeting in the middle line, and leaving a sliglit depression 
 between them only on the anterior face. Prothorax slightly 
 rugose above , and with a sharp conical tubercle on each side. 
 Elytra rather coarsely punctured, especially towards the base, 
 strongly nitid where not covered with pubescence , each with 
 two or three obtuse carinae, and furnished with a strong tu- 
 bercle, whose anterior face rises sub- vertically from the basal 
 margin; apices of the elytra rounded. Body underneath with 
 minute scattered fulvous spots. Legs reddish brown with faint 
 grey pubescence. Antennae in the female more than half as 
 long again as the body (the antennae in the single male 
 example are broken off from the seventh joint), with the third 
 and fourth joints in the female nodose at the apex , with the 
 same joints in the male thickened , but not nearly so strongly 
 as in the female; the scape is ferruginous brown, the remaining 
 joints reddish brown with their apices fuscous. 
 
 The exceptional characters of this species will enable it to be 
 readily recognized. Notwithstanding the close contact of its an- 
 tennal tubercles, and the decided thickening of the apices of

 the third and fourth joints of the antennae , I do not see that 
 the species can be better placed than in Pharsalia.

 Carin (districts of Cheba and Ghecii), alt. 900-1500 m. 
 
 This species so closely resembles H. penicillata, Hope, in size, 
 general form and style of coloration , that only the points of 
 difference need be stated. The fourth joint of the antennae is 
 
4S r. J. GAHAN 
 
 gradually thickened from before the middle up to the apex ; 
 the joints succeeding the fourth are all in both sexes d^titute 
 of small tufts of hairs , and , with the exception of the fifth , 
 have an uniform fulvous-grey pubescence. This last character, 
 however, though holding good for the few specimens from the 
 Carin Mts. which I have seen , is liable , I think , to variation 
 and may be considered of very little importance. 
 
 In H. penicillala , Hope , the fourth joint of the antennae is 
 thickened at the middle, and, between this thickening and the 
 large swelling at the apex, is somewhat narrowed or constricted ; 
 in the males of this species a small but distinct tuft of black 
 hairs is to be seen on the underside at the apex of each of the 
 joints from the eigth to the tenth ; a few black hairs of similar 
 character are to be found in fresh specimens at the apex of the 
 seventh and at the middle of the eleventh joint. 
 
 In specimens from Java and Borneo which I refer to H. plu- 
 mosa, Oliv., the fourth antennal joint has a form similar to that 
 of H. 'penicillata , but the succeeding joints are in both sexes 
 destitute of small pencils of hairs. In these specimens also the 
 disk of the prothorax is a little less uneven than in H. penicil- 
 lata or H. vidua. 
 
 So far as the relative length of the prothorax is concerned 
 I am unable to detect any appreciable differences in the three 
 species just mentioned. What Lacordaire regarded as a specific 
 distinction seems to me to be simply a sexual difference. In the 
 males of all the species the prothorax is decidedly longer than 
 in the females.

 (vide Longic. Malay, p. 133) as it was by myself until a recent 
 examination had shown me that the specimens from Laos and

 Siam are specifically distinct from those from Borneo. The elytra 
 in the new species are more parallelsided, the scape of the an- 
 tennae is less elongated, and less abruptly thickened at the 
 apex, is rather shorter than the third joint, and carries a reddish 
 pubescent patch near the middle. In corallina the elytra are 
 considerably narrowed from the base backwards , the scape of 
 the antennae is rather abruptly thickened at the apex, is slightly 
 longer than the third joint and has not a reddish patch.

 This species has the head slightly less concave, the prothorax 
 more rounded at the sides, and the elytra more attenuate 
 posteriorly than in Mesosa nebulosa, Fabr., but otherwise agrees 
 with it fairly well in structural characters. The antennae of 
 the male are more than half as long again as the body. In 
 this sex also there is a narrow transverse pilose depression 
 towards each side of the anterior border of each of the three 
 intermediate abdominal sternites. Each depression is concealed 
 more or less by a fringe of fulvous hairs attached to the hind 
 margin of the sternite immediately in front. The antennae of 
 the female reach to a little beyond the apex of the elytra.

 Head strongly enough concave between the antennal tuber-

 impressed along the middle line. Prothorax rather narrow, with 
 three feeble tubercles on the disk, of which the third and 
 smallest is placed near the base (this tubercle is, in the larger 
 of the two specimens before me , divided in the middle by a 
 narrow groove) ; the sides are made slightly uneven by the 
 presence on each of two very feeble and obtuse tubercles — 
 one a little behind the anterior margin , the other much farther 
 back and a little higher up; between these tubercles and ex- 
 tending upwards on to the disk are some feeble transverse rid- 
 ges (not evident in the smaller specimen). Scutellum dark brown 
 with a grey centre. Elytra strongly enough and rather closely 
 punctured, the sides nearly parallel; pubescence grey with ir- 
 regularly scattered small fuscous spots and points. Antennae ( c/') 
 about one half longer than the body: the first two joints grey, 
 the remaining joints grey at their bases only; first joint not 
 much more than half as long as the third joint; the latter 
 longer than the fourth; the eleventh joint with a short hooked 
 appendix. Intermediate segments of the abdomen with narrow, 
 transverse, pilose depressions placed anteriorly towards each 
 side. 
 
 In this species some of the characters of Coplops are united 
 with those of Mesosa; but they point on the whole to its po- 
 sition in the latter genus.

 Pubescence greyish, somewhat paler on the underside of the 
 body.- Head with a median impressed glabrous black line; with 
 two velvety black lines which extend from the thorax down- 
 wards between the antennary tubercles , slightly diverging in 
 their course, and becoming obliterated on the front of the head; 
 with a short velvety black vitta on each side above behind the 
 upper lobe of the eye. Prothorax somewhat sparsely punctured 
 above, with a median dorsal fuscous vitta, and with two velvety 
 black spots, narrowly margined with cinereous, which are placed 
 one on either side of the anterior part of the disk; with a small 
 longitudinal black spot placed somewhat anteriorly and low 
 down on each side. Scutellum fuscous. Elytra strongly enough, 
 but not very thickly punctured , adorned with numerous lines 
 and about eight small spots of a velvety black colour, and with 
 five white spots. Of the black spots three are placed along each 
 outer margin, and two posteriorly on the suture. Of the white 
 spots, one is placed somewhat dorsally on each elytron a little 
 in front of the middle, another smaller and less distinct behind 
 the middle, while the fifth is on the suture and just in front 
 of the anterior of the two sutural black spots. Legs and under- 
 side of body grey, with some fuscous points and spots; abdo- 
 minal segments fringed with pale fulvous-grey posteriorly. Pro- 
 sternal process strongly arched , declivous behind ; mesosternal 
 process vertical in front, feebly tubercled near the lower ante- 
 rior border. Antennae (c/') about one half longer than the body, 
 ciliate underneath , the ciliae being more densely aggregated 
 and blackish in colour beneath the fifth and the apex of the 
 third joint. 
 
 This rather pretty species may be easily recognized by its 
 peculiar markings which I have described above in some detail.

 With a yellowish-grey pubescence. Head impunctate, feebly 
 concave between the antennal tubercles, with two longitudinal 
 black vittae extending almost from the labrum in front to the 
 occiput behind, and with a short black vitta or spot behind 
 the upper lobe of each eye. Prothorax slightly rounded at the 
 sides, each of which bears a small and -almost obsolete tubercle 
 placed a little behind the front margin ; with two black vittae 
 on each side , one broad placed low down, the other, very much 
 narrower and almost lineate, placed higher up towards the disk, 
 the disk also with a black vitta on each side and with three 
 somewhat glabrous spots surrounding the middle, the posterior 
 of which appears very slightly elevated and divided by a feeble 
 median impressed line. A few black punctures are scattered 
 through the fulvous-grey bands which occupy the intervals be- 
 tween the black vittae. The scutellum is black, with a grey spot 
 in the middle, and is surrounded by a somewhat rectangular 
 black spot common to the two elytra ; another common oblong 
 spot is placed on the elytra just before the middle , while on 
 each elytron there are about eigiit other somewhat similar but 
 more irregular spots , of which the largest lies at , and below 
 the shoulder, the elytra bear in addition some scattered black 
 points in the centre of each of which lies a puncture. The body 
 underneath has a yellowish-grey pubescence interrupted by black 
 spots and points. Legs grey, with black small rounded points 
 on the femora , a ring at the apex of each femur and two on

 Carin Mts. (Gheba district). 
 
 Prothorax with two feeble nearly obsolete tubercles on each 
 side , one at the middle , the other a little behind the anterior 
 margin. Third joint of the antennae distinctly longer than the 
 first or fourth. Prosternal process strongly enough arched and 
 rounded in the middle , vertical behind. Mesosternal process 
 vertical in front, horizontal below, feebly tubercled at its antero- 
 inferior edge. 
 
 This species seems nearly enough allied to the preceding , 
 but may be easily distinguished by the general brownish tone 
 of colour of its pubescence, the fewer black spots on the elytra, 
 and the presence of three ashy spots along the suture and some 
 scattered spots on each elytron. The black bands of the head 
 and prothorax are disposed in very much the same manner as 
 in C. nigromaculata , the black points on the elytra are more 
 numerous, and arranged, especially towards the base, in some- 
 what irregular longitudinal series. 
 
 The two species just described agree with A. transversa, Newm. 
 — the type of the genus — in the relative proportions of the 
 joints of the antennae, in the shape and tuberculation of the 
 prothorax, and of the pro-and mesosternal processes ; they agree, 
 in fact, in all essential points of structure. Their relatively nar- 
 rower elytra, however, give them an appearance more resem- 
 bling the species of Coplops; but from the more typical species 
 
54 r. .1. GAHAN 
 
 of the latter genus thej' are be distinguished by the absence 
 of a distinct antero-lateral tooth or tubercle from the prothorax, 
 by having the posterior face of the prosternal process vertical, 
 and the third joint of the antennae longer than the first or 
 fourth. In the males each of the three intermediate ventral seg- 
 ments of the abdomen has on each side anteriorly a narrow 
 transverse depression which is more or less concealed by the 
 fringe of hairs attached to the hind margin of the immediately 
 preceding segment. This character is not present in the males 
 of the typical species of Coplops, nor, with the exception of .4. Irari- 
 sversa, Newm., A. bifasciana, White, and possibly a few others, 
 does it exist in those species hitherto included in Agelasta.

 Carin Mts, (district of Cheba), alt. 900-1100 m. The British 
 Museum collection contains examples from Siam , Cambodia , 
 Burma, and North India. 
 
 This species is closely allied to Coptops fusca, Oliv., of which 
 it may possibly be only a well marked variety. The pubescence 
 has usually a considerable admixture of red. The head has two 
 dark-brown vittae above; there are two dark-brown vittae also 
 on the disk of the prothorax , while on each side , just above 
 the coxa , there is another very distinct blackish brown vitta 
 which does not quite reach to the anterior or posterior margin. 
 The elytra are marked with spots and points of dark-brown ; 
 while a pale ashy-grey pubescence , slightly . mixed with red , 
 forms a more or less distinct and broad , oblique fascia across 
 each elytron near the middle, and extends forwards for some 
 distance in the sutural region. The same characters that serve 
 to distinguish this species from C. fusca will distinguish it also 
 from Coptops aedificalor, Fabr. The two latter in fact are scar- 
 cely distinct. 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 55 
 
 Coplops aedificator, Fabr. is sometimes known under the name 
 of bidens, Fabr., with which it is placed as a synonym in the 
 Catalogue of Gemminger & Harold. But the characters of Lamia 
 bidens, Fabr. — » thorace acute-spinoso. Elytris apice bidentatis » 
 — show that this species does not even belong to the genus 
 Coptops. The mistake probably arose from the fact that a spe- 
 cimen of C. aedificator in the Banksian Cabinet is erroneously 
 ticketed Lamia bidens, Fabr. To this specimen there is an addi- 
 tional label attached, bearing the words tan bidens Fabricii? ». 
 The actual type of the species appears to have been lost.

 Pubescence greyish, varying, especially on parts of the elytra, 
 to a pale brown. Head somewhat dark-brown in front. Prothorax 
 grey to greyish-brown, with a broad, dark-brown, velvety band 
 on each side extending from the anterior to the posterior margin, 
 and with its upper and lower margins somewhat irregular, the 
 disk with three feeble tubercles , the sides each with a small 
 tubercle placed a little behind the anterior margin and at the 
 upper border of the fuscous. band , with a second, somewhat 
 larger, but more obtuse, tubercle a little higher up and nearer 
 the middle line. Scutellum grey, bordered at the sides with 
 fuscous. Elytra punctured, each with a very small tubercle near 
 the middle of the basal margin, and with an obtuse prominence 
 a little farther back , pubescence grey and pale brown with 
 scattered points , and irregular spots , the latter aggregated to 
 form indefinite dark-brown bands, of which one is just behind 
 the basal prominences, and is followed by an isolated spot on 
 
56 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 each elytron, the second is a little behind the middle, while a 
 third very indistinct band is placed a little before the apex. 
 
 This species, which is allied to, and somewliat closely resem- 
 bles Coplops aedifcator, Fabr., C. fusca, Fabr., and other species, 
 may yet be sufficiently distinguished by the broad and distinct 
 dark-brown band on each side of the prothorax, taken together 
 with the other characters detailed above. I have named it in 
 memory of Mr. Pascoe to whose labours we are indebted for 
 the descriptions of most of the known species of this difficult 
 group. 
 
 The species has hitherto been known only from Siam and 
 Cambodia.

 Mesolophus, g. n. 
 
 Head strongly enough concave between the antennal tuber- 
 cles. Eyes sub-divided. Antennae ($) longer than the body; 
 the scape elongate, a little shorter than the third joint ; the latter 
 slightly curved, longer than the fourth, the following joints 
 gradually decreasing in length. Prothorax transverse, unarmed 
 at the sides. Elytra moderately long , subacute and minutely 
 tubercled at the shoulders, from thence narrowed posteriorly; 
 apices broadly and somewhat obliquely truncate, with the outer 
 angles obtusely rounded off; each elytron with a short pro- 
 minent crest placed a short distance back from the middle of 
 the base. Prosternal process with its posterior face vertical, its 
 postero-inferior edge, which is somewhat obtusely pointed in the 
 middle, projecting slightly backwards; the mesosternal process 
 is strongly declivous or almost vertical in front, its ventral face 
 is very short and is slightly raised along the middle. The legs 
 of the female are sub-equal in length; the intermediate tibiae 
 entire; the claws of the tarsi divergent. 
 
 This new genus of the Mesosides resembles Aesopida in having 
 a basal crest on each of the elvtra, but this crest does not

 reach as far as the anterior margin ; it is distinguished further 
 from Aesopida by the rather acute shoulders of its elytra, and 
 by the absence of tubercles or teeth from the sides of the pro- 
 thorax.

 With a fulvous brown pubescence, here and there interrupted 
 by cinereous and fuscous spots. Head with two oblong fuscous 
 spots above. Prothorax slightly uneven on the posterior part of 
 the disk, with two somewhat interrupted velvety black vittae, 
 one towards each side of the disk, above. Elytra each with two 
 zig-zag velvety black bands, of which the first, somewhat broader, 
 extends from the basal crest to reach the outer margin a little 
 farther back, the second, a little behind the middle, passes from 
 the outer margin to join the suture , where it forms , with its 
 fellow of the opposite side , an oblong spot lying behind the 
 fascia. Between the second band and the apex there are on 
 each elytron two distinct fuscous or black spots, placed obliquely, 
 the outer being slightly posterior to the inner. In addition to 
 these more definite bands and spots there are some smaller 
 fuscous spots and points, and a few cinereous spots on the elytra. 
 The body underneath and legs have a fulvous brown pubescence ; 
 the former is somewhat spotted, and the latter ringed, or spotted, 
 with fuscous.

 the depressions is lined with rather long hatrs.

 Lacordaire in his characterization of this genus has given a 
 very erroneoiis description of the antennae. 
 
 With the exception of the first joint, which has a cinnabar- 
 red pubescence, like the head, thorax, &c., the antennae are 
 closely covered with a short dull-black pubescence, and the joints 
 from the third to the sixth or seventh have a shoi't fringe of black 
 hairs underneath. In the male (hitherto undescribed) the antennae 
 reach to about the apex of the elytra, in the female they scar- 
 cely surpass the middle of the elytra. In neither sex do they 
 bear the elongate fossae which Lacordaire specially mentions; 
 nor have they any punctures beyond the extremely minute pits 
 from which the hairs of the pubescence spring, and which only 
 become visible when the latter is rubbed off. The male differs 
 also from the female in having a rather wide angulate emargina- 
 tion at the apex of the last abdominal ventral segment. .\s La- 
 cordaire's description of the female agreed so well in every other 
 respect with the female specimen before me, I was unable to 
 account for the remarkable discrepancy in the characters of the 
 antennae. Mr. Rene Oberthiir, by very kindly sending me the 
 specimen which he believed to be the original of Lacordaire 's 
 description, has enabled me to explain the anomaly. In this 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 59 
 
 specimen three joints only of the antennae — the two first on 
 one side , and one on the other — belong to the insect ; the 
 remaining and chief parts of the antennae were very neatly 
 fastened on to these basal joints, and were probably originally 
 taken from a female specimen of Morimus funereus, Muls. The 
 antennae thus manipulated, looked extremely like the true an- 
 tennae, and might readily deceive one who was not examining 
 them especially in order to detect something wrong. It is cu- 
 rious, nevertheless, that Lacordaire, though calling special atten- 
 tion to the character of the antennae in this genus, has alto- 
 gether omitted to notice the same character when treating of 
 the genus Morimus.

 Metanja on the Catcin-Hills , Upper Burma. One 9 example. 
 
 The unique example of this species resembles a very large 
 specimen of R. pubera, Thoms. The colour and disposition of 
 the pubescence are almost exactly the same ; the chief difference 
 in this respect being in the relative width and distinctness of 
 the fulvous-grey and fuscous vittae of the prothorax; in pubera 
 the pale vittae are much narrower than the dark ones, and are 
 well defined ; in the present species the dark bands are narrower, 
 and all are ill defined; the median fulvousgrey vitta is marked 
 in the middle by a small glabrous black spot. The disk of the 
 prothorax is much less thickly punctured than in pubera and bears 
 a very feeble tubercle on each side just behind the anterior 
 transverse groove. The lateral tooth at the middle of each side 
 is more distinct than in pubera. The apex of the antennal scape 
 has a somewhat rounded cicatrice; but this cicatrice is not, as 
 in the Monohammides, limited by a distinct carina. Notwith- 
 
60 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 standing the presence of the last character, which is quite ex- 
 ceptional in the group, the present species can scarcely, I think, 
 be considered misplaced in the genus Rhodupis.

 The example taken belongs to a variety characterized by 
 having a rather lai-ge whitish plaga, placed before the middle 
 on the side of each elytron. In the examples of this species in 
 the British Museum collection which have been brought from 
 Cambodia, there is in a similar position, an indistinct plaga 
 formed of coalesced spots or small patches of a rust colour like 
 that of the general pubescence. 
 
 The males of this species are provided with a distinct tooth 
 on the ventral side of the anterior tibiae a little below the 
 middle of their length, and also with a small tubercle or tooth 
 at about the middle of the dorsal border of the anterior femora. 
 The females sometimes exhibit a trace of a tootii on the anterior 
 tibiae in a similar position to that of the male. The last ventral 
 segment of the abdomen has almost exactly the same form in 
 both sexes , but in the female is impressed along the middle , 
 with a feeble groove. There is a more distinct fringe of fulvous 
 hairs , attached to the hind margin of the first abdominal seg- 
 ment in the male : towards the sides this fringe conceals a very 
 narrow transverse depression or declivity at the anterior margin 
 of the succeeding segmenj;; but there is on the segment no 
 distinct semi-oval and piligerous depression as in A'', piciicornis, 
 Muls. and certain other species. 
 
 The anterior tarsi of the males do not seem to be appreciably 
 more dilated than those of the females.

 Clothed with a pubescence which is mostly of a yellowish 
 or ochreous-grey colour, but which is ashy-white on the inner 
 side of the legs, along the middle of the underside of the body, 
 and on the sides of the elytra. Head with the lower lobes of 
 the eyes moderately large, the vertex forming with the front 
 an almost continuous curve. Prothorax very slightly rounded 
 and unarmed at the sides; the disk longitudinally ridged in the 
 middle, with, usually, three of the ridges regular and distinct, 
 while those external to them are broken and irregular, so that 
 the outer part of the disk and the sides of the prothorax have 
 a somewhat roughly granular appearance; the anterior part 
 (almost a third) of the disk is smooth ; while at the base there 
 is a fine transverse groove, followed in the middle by a slight 
 posterior lobe which fits closely against the scutellum. The ely- 
 tra, broadest at the base, gradually narrow up to the beginning 
 of the apical fourth , and thence are more strongly attenuated 
 to the apex ; the apical truncation of each elytron is somewhat 
 oblique with a slight emargination close to the suture ; the out- 
 line of this margin is more or less obscured by a fringe of 
 hairs ; the punctuation of the elytra is strong , but not very 
 dense, and is more evident on a dorsal sub-glabrous area (which 
 may have been produced by rubbing). Each elytron carries at 
 the base a short longitudinal crest, surmounted by yellowish-brown 
 hairs, and a similar, but much feebler crest, in the depression 
 between this and the shoulder. 
 
 This species very closely resembles Aelara furcala, Bates, and 
 is chiefly to be distinguished by the difference in form of the 
 apices of the elytra. In furcala the apices are much more pro- 
 duced on the outside so that the truncation has a strongly 
 oblique direction ; in vicina the elytra are only slightly prolonged 
 at the outer apex, and the truncation of each is consequently 
 much less oblique.

 elytron, extending from beneath the shoulder almost up to the 
 beginning of the posterior third, and slightly expanding inwards 
 just behind the shoulder. Prothorax with the anterior margin 
 directly transverse, the posterior slightly lobed in the middle 
 and sinuate towards each side; disk sparsely punctate across 
 the middle; sides sparsely punctured with each of the piligerous 
 punctures placed at the summit of a small granule. Elytra 
 rather sparsely punctured, and with a few larger scattered pun- 
 ctures each occupying the centre of a minute fuscous spot. The 
 apices of the elytra are cut away very obliquely from the su- 
 ture, and being attenuated also on the outside, each ends in an 
 obtuse point which appears to diverge from its fellow.

 Carin (district of Cheba), alt. 900-1100 m. 
 
 This species is somewhat larger than the preceding, and re- 
 sembles it in general facies and coloration. The elytra have a 
 brownish pubescence , with four fulvous-brown plagae — one 
 basal, triangular ; one triangular, on each side, and placed wholly 
 in front of the middle ; the fourth common , for the most part

 behind the iniddle, and somewhat roughly rhomboidal in form. 
 The anterior border of this plaga and the posterior borders of the 
 lateral plagae are somewhat mixed with grey. At the base of eacli 
 elytron, just about the middle of the lateral border of the basal 
 triangular plaga, there is a fascicle of black and fulvous hairs.

 Carin Mts. (Cheba district), alt. 900-1100 m. 
 
 Clothed with a dense pubescence which differs in shade on 
 different parts of the body according to the predominance of 
 the white or of the fulvous-brown hairs of which it is mostly 
 composed. The head and basal joints of the antennae are of a 
 pale fulvous-brown colour, the prothorax , patches on the sides 
 of the elytra, the underside of the body and of the legs are of 
 a more or less whitish colour. Between the basal crest and the 
 shoulder of each elytron there is a dark fulvous brown patch 
 which is interrupted in the middle by a whitish line. A large 
 angular dark-brown plaga occupies a little more than the me- 
 dian third of the disk. Its anterior borders — directed obliquely 
 backwards on each side from the suture — and its outer bor- 
 ders are sharply define! ; while posteriorly it passes indefinitely 
 into the pale fulvous-brown of the hinder part of the elytra. 
 Prothorax with a rather strongly marked tooth placed anteriorly 
 and low down on each side; tlie disk with a short median ca- 
 rina which is very narrow anteriorly, but which slightly widens 
 and bears a feeble groove posteriorly; the anterior border of 
 the pronotum bears a series of very small fuscous spots. The 
 elytra , broad at the base , are much narrowed from thence to 
 tlie apex , where they are each somewhat obliquely truncate 
 and fringed with rather long hairs.

 In general shape and in coloration this species most nearly 
 resembles N. plagiata. White ; but the prothorax of the latter 
 is quite rough, and does not bear a tooth on each side. Its eyes 
 also are a little larger.

 The single male example which served as the type of Niphona 
 'parallela , has a broad fuscous l)and which extends along the 
 middle of each elytron from the base to beyond the middle. 
 This band is wanting in the present variety, in which the ely- 
 tra have everywhere a greyish pubescence mixed with fulvous 
 brown. This is the only difference which I can detect. The eyes 
 in this species are rather large ; and the second abdominal ven- 
 tral segment of the male has on each side a transverse semi- oval 
 depression lined with greyish or fulvous hairs, similar to, but 
 rather larger than, the hairy depression to be found in the same 
 position in the males of Niphona picticornis, Muls.

 Pronotum with alternating longitudinal bands of darker and 
 lighter coloured pubescence, with two darker bands on each 
 side of the middle and separated by a faint greyish line, these 
 are succeeded on the outside by two pale fulvous or ashy lines 
 — one on each side, and external to these is a darker vitta on 
 each side. The elytra are strongly enough narrowed from the 
 base, appearing as if compressed from side to side; posteriorly

they are strongly declivous; the apices are obliquely truncate 
 and very faintly emarginated towards the suture; on each ely- 
 tron there is a distinct lateral median fuscous plaga , which , 
 towards the upper side, has a convex margin and is surrounded 
 by a rather broad arcuate band of an ashy-white or fulvous-white 
 colour. The posterior declivous portion of the elytra is also in 
 the middle more or less ashy or pale-fulvous in colour. The 
 punctuation of the elytra is rather strong, and is arranged some- 
 what in rows, which on the middle of the disk are separated 
 by slightly raised lines. 
 
 This species may be recognized by the absence of a basal 
 tuft or tubercle from the elytra, taken with its rather distinct 
 style of marking. 
 
 As it seems impossible to fix upon any definite characters 
 which separate Praonetha from Pterolophia, I have been obliged 
 to treat the first of these names as a synonym.

 Clothed with a brownish or fulvous-brown pubescence , with 
 a few paler patches, and with many small points and a few 
 spots of a dark velvety brown colour. Head moderately concave 
 between the antennal tubercles. Prothorax transverse, sides 
 nearly straight and very sligthly diverging from the base to 
 within a short distance of the anterior margin w^here they be- 
 come constricted ; the disk transversely sinuately impressed near 
 the apex, with a fine and straight transverse groove just before 
 the base, and with a broad and rather faint depression along 
 the middle; on either side of this depression there is a small

 tubercle. The elytra have each a small tubercle at the base , 
 and, immediately behind the tubercle, a short longitudinal crest, 
 while further back is another longitudinal crest which ends just 
 at the beginning of the posterior declivity. The tubercle and crests 
 carry tufts of liairs ; the anterior crest having a continuous tuft, 
 while on the posterior there are small tufts set at intervals. 
 External to the crests there are on each elytron one or two 
 raised lines. The punctuation of the elytra is rather strong and 
 dense towards the sides , but appears finer and less dense on 
 the disk towards the apex. Last ventral segment of the abdomen 
 dark brown , hind margin of the first segment with a fringe 
 of pale fulvous hairs ; intermediate segments spotted with pale 
 fulvous and dark brown.

 Head and prothorax with a not very dense fulvous pubescence. 
 The prothorax closely punctulate, and with two somewhat ob- 
 solete fuscous vittae along the middle of the disk. Elytra elonga- 
 ted for this genus, almost uniformly convex above, somewhat 
 gradually declivous posteriorly ; traces of costae on the disk are 
 scarcely apparent; the pubescence is rather close and varies 
 from almost a grey to a reddish-brown colour, it is scantier 
 over the irregular and not very distinct band which thus ap- 
 pears darker than the rest of the surface; on this band also, 
 especially at the sides, the close and strong punctuation of the 
 elytra is more distinctly seen, while over the rest of the surface 
 owing to the closer pubescence, it appears feebler and less dense. 
 The apices of the elytra are very slightly truncate near the 
 suture or are entirely rounded.

 The coloration of this species very much resembles that of 
 the preceding; but the antennae are almost entirely fulvous-grey: 
 these also have a tooth at the outer apex of each of the joints 
 from the third to the ninth. The elytra are somewhat shorter 
 than in the last species, are transversely depressed a little be- 
 hind the base, and are strongly and somewhat abruptly decli- 
 vous behind.

 The examples taken agree with the type in all respects, ex- 
 cept that the sides of the prothorax are not so dark-brown in 
 colour. 
 
 A single example obtained at Metanja in Burma, differs from 
 the Carin specimens in having the prothorax uniformly greyish 
 brown above, and without the paler patch along the middle of 
 the disk. This specimen may be considered as belonging to a 
 variety.

 a pale fulvous-grey pubescence ; body above and elytra brownish, 
 with a paler fulvous-grey band extending along the middle 
 from the head to a little beyond the anterior third of the elytra;

 and with an oblique greyish patch on the side of each elytron 
 just below and behind the shoulder, each elytron also with some 
 small black spots of which one is placed at the extreme base, 
 a second on a tubercle a little behind the base, and three or 
 four forming a transverse band at the beginning of the poste- 
 rior declivity. Three or four longitudinal costae may be distin- 
 guished on the disk of each elytron. The antennae are fulvous- 
 brown, with the fifth and sixth joints blackish ; these two joints 
 are together scarcely as long as the fourth, the latter is slightly 
 curved and is appreciably longer than the third joint. The an- 
 terior coxae are each armed a small sharp tubercle which is 
 directed towards the middle line.

 The greyish-white patches on the elytra are more limited in 
 extent than in the type, and in this respect resemble examples 
 from North India. The specimens from China and Hong-Kong 
 in the British Museum collection show variation in the amount 
 of grey coloration of the elytra; so that the difference just 
 mentioned cannot be considered of any great importance.

 This is a rather narrow and somewhat elongated species. The 
 prothorax has its sides nearly parallel. The elytra are almost 
 regularly convex above, gradually declivous behind, with their 
 sides almost parallel in their anterior two-thirds, they are rather 
 closely punctured; have a yellowish pubescence, with a well 
 marked broad dull black band crossing them at the middle, and

 with two black patches at the base — one on each side — 
 which unite together or with a smaller third spot , at a short 
 distance behind the scutelluni. Between these basal patches and 
 the median band as well as towards the apex there are nume- 
 rous minute black points.

 This species much resembles the last; but the greyish or 
 yellowish-grey pubescence of the prothoras is not interrupted 
 by minute black spots ; the transverse black fascia at the middle 
 of the elytra is much narrower; the yellowish-grey pubescence 
 between the basal spots and the median band and between the 
 latter and the apex is not sprinkled with small black points. 
 The antennae are entirely covered with a greyish pubescence.

 Prothorax closely punctured, with a pubescence which is 
 fulvous-brown along the middle of the disk, and ashy-white at 
 the sides. Elytra with their sides sub-parallel for the anterior 
 two-thirds, thence narrowed to the apex; very distinctly, strongly, 
 and rather closely punctured ; each with a well marked centro- 
 basal tubercle surmounted by a fascicle of black hairs; with a 
 transverse whitish fascia which reaches from the outer margin 
 to near the suture and is much narrowed at its inner extremity; 
 with some small and irregular spots of whitish pubescence near 
 the base and apex. The legs have an ashy-grey pubescence. 
 The antennae are a little shorter than the body, with the last 
 three joints, and the apices of joints 3, 4, 5 and 8 fuscous, the 
 remainder fulvous or cinereous.

 This species strongly resembles P. alboplagiata , but the pro- 
 thorax appears more thickly punctured (though this may be 
 due to its somewhat scantier pubescence), and is not ashy-white 
 at the sides. The white band, or rather plaga, near the middle 
 of each elytron does not reach to the suture. The legs are dark 
 brown with a thin, and in some parts, scattered pubescence of 
 a greyish colour.

 Elytra each with a distinct tubercle at the base, the tubercle 
 having blackish brown hairs at its summit. About three costae 
 are with difficulty to be distinguished on the intermediate third 
 of each elytron, the innermost costa only, which is the shortest 
 being at all distinct. On the disk of each elytron there is a small 
 greyish area from which two ashy- white bands or patches pass 
 off — one running obliquely outwards to reach the margin just 
 below the shoulder, the other at first passing slightly backwards 
 runs then in a nearly transverse direction to the outer margin. 
 
 This species has some resemblance , in its mixed pubescence 
 and general outline, to P. annulata, Chevr. and P. scopulifera, 
 Pasc. ; but may be easily distinguished by the very distinct 
 tufted tubercle or crest at the base of each elytron.

 Clothed with a pubescence of somewhat mixed colours, the 
 prevailing tint being a light chocolate brown. The disk and the 
 posterior declivous portion of the elytra are more greyish or 
 fulvous. The prothorax is entirely impunctate , unless some dark 
 brown minute rounded spots mark out the position of some 
 feeble punctures. The elytra are thickly and strongly punctured; 
 each has a basal cariniform tubercle, a short prominent carina 
 extending along the disk in the intermediate third of the length 
 of the elytra , and ending just where the posterior declivity 
 begins, and a slightly raised line external to this carina, ex- 
 tending a little beyond it behind, while in front its course may 
 be traced up to the base. Between the basal tubercle and the 
 anterior extremity of the carina which lies nearly in the same 
 line with it, there is a shallow and somewhat oblique depre 
 on each elytron.

 This species appears to be somewhat nearly allied to Plero- 
 lophia camura , Newm. ; but has a generally paler and more 
 uniform coloration, a more distinct dorsal carina on each ely- 
 tron, and a more parallel-sided prothorax. The disk of the pro- 
 thorax also is less convex and nearly flat; the apices of the 
 elytra are sinuately truncate, while in P. camura they are al- 
 most rounded.

 By adhering strictly to the system followed by Lacordaire, a 
 new genus, in the group of the Mesosides, should be formed 
 for the reception of this species. Though it differs from all the 
 other species of Pterolophia, and indeed from all the Niphonides, 
 in having a smooth cicatrix , limited by a sharp edge , on the 
 apex of the antennal scape , yet the general ensemble of its 
 characters is such as to bring it into very close affinity with 
 certain forms of Pterolophia. It might be right perhaps to re- 
 gard it as a representative of a new genus which brings into 
 greater prominence the undoubted affinities that exist between 
 the Mesosides and the Niphonides. It seems to me to be one of 
 the faults of Lacordaire's arrangement that these two groups 
 are placed so far apart. And I also think that Lacordaire's sub- 
 division of the latter group may be improved upon by taking 
 into consideration the structure of the mesonotum. In the genera 
 more nearly allied to the Mesosides the mesonotum is pointed 
 in front and is furnished with a stridulating surface; while in 
 
74 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 the majority of the genera (including Niphona and closely re- 
 lated forms) the mesonotum is not so prolonged and pointed 
 in the middle , and does not , so far as I can find , possess a 
 stridulating surface.

 also diifer in having the fourth joint longer than the third.

 The pubescence which is of a yellowish or yellowish-grey 
 tint above and grey on the underside , is somewhat uniformly 
 spread over the whole body, but is slightly denser along certain 
 lines of which one passes along the middle of the pronotum 
 and four slightly raised along each elytron ; of these four lines 
 the two inner extend almost from the base and unite together 
 at a short distance from the apex, and are thence continued 
 back as a single line to meet another short line which arises 
 from the junction of the two outer lines; the outermost line 
 may be traced forwards almost up to the shoulder, the one 
 next it disappears anteriorly after passing the middle of the 
 elytron. The punctures of the elytra are, behind the middle, 
 arranged more or less regularly in double rows between the 
 
C. J. GAHAN 
 
 lines; anteriorly their numbers increase and the regula- 
 rity of their arrangement is disturbed. 
 
 The structural characters by which this species differs from 
 M. aridus, Pasc. — the type of the genus — are not sufiRcient 
 to justify the creation of a new genus for its reception. With 
 the exception of its more parallel-sided prothorax, its slightly 
 longer antennae, and more prominent antennal tubercles, it 
 agrees essentially in generic detail with M. aridus.

 This species may be easily distinguished from the preceding 
 by the more abrupt manner in which the elytra are turned 
 down at the apex. This apical declivous portion is closely co- 
 vered with a dirty- white pubescence, and is also furnished with 
 some small tufts of a similar colour — about four to each ely- 
 tron, of whicli one is at the summit of the declivity and marks 
 the posterior extremity of a very short and feebly raised carina 
 which is in a line with some granules placed at wide intervals 
 along the disk of the elytron ; the second tuft is at about the 
 middle of the declivity, and the remaining two are at the po- 
 sterior border and give to the latter a deeply emarginate ap-

 pearance. The pro thorax is rather feebly and not very closely 
 punctured , it is slightly rugose towards each side of the disk , 
 and on the middle of the disk bears four minute granule-like 
 tubercles. The elytra are strongly and closely punctured, the 
 punctures being only partially hidden by the not very dense 
 pale-grey pubescence. The antennae are about equal in length 
 to the body. The single specimen taken is probably a female.

 The antennal tubercles are somewhat more prominent on the 
 inner side and separated by a narrower interval (somewhat 
 V-shaped when looked at from above) than is usual in the genus 
 Sybra. The elytra also are more strongly declivous posteriorly. 
 Each of the intermediate cotyloid cavities, though in fresh spe- 
 cimens appearing to be completely shut off from the epimeron 
 on the outside, in reality extends out to it; the narrow outward 
 extension being occupied by the trochantin when the femur is 
 turned backwards. Lacordaire has laid stress upon the closing 
 in of the intermediate cotyloid cavities in the group to which 
 Sybra belongs. « Pris dans son ensemble, il est tres-voisin des 
 Apomecynides et n'en diflere essentiellement que par la ferme- 
 ture des cavites cotylo'ides intermediaires » . This is not however, 
 a reliable character. A careful examination of the different species 
 of the Ptericoptides will show that in very few, if any, are the 
 intermediate cotyloid cavities completely shut off from the meso- 
 
78 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 thoracic epiuieron. They often, as in the species just described, 
 appear to be so, owing to the concealment of the narrow outer 
 prolongation of the coxal cavity by the rather thick pubescence 
 wliich overlaps it, the trochantin itself also being often slightly 
 pubescent on its outer edge. In many of the species of the Ple- 
 ricoptides that I have examined the mesothoracic epimeron is 
 more distinctly in connection with the cotyloid cavity than is 
 the case in sucli genera as Apomecyna and Mycerinopsis.

 The descriptions given by Thomson and Lacordaire (and pro- 
 bably drawn up from rubbed specimens) do not quite accurately 
 fit the examples now before me, so that I have some doubt in 
 referring the latter to Thomson's species. 
 
 The pubescence is grey, with seven fulvous-red lines along 
 the thorax and the same number on the elytra. The latter in 
 fresh specimens have numerous small dull black spots, and two 
 larger sub-nitid black spots — one on each shoulder. Of the 
 seven reddish lines on the elytra, one is a common sutural line, 
 one at the extreme outer margin of each elytron; the three 
 intermediate lines on each side are here and there interrupted 
 in their course. The front of the head is rather thickly and 
 somewhat asperately punctured , the prothorax is obsoletely 
 punctured above, and is rather feebly wrinkled across the middle. 
 The elytra are thickly but not very strongly punctured. The 
 vertex of the head in this, as in almost every species of the 
 group, has two short black glabrous and slightly elevated lines, 
 placed one on each side of the middle line and extending for- 
 wards from the occiput.

 The antennae in the male of this species are more than twice 
 as long as the body, the first joint, cylindrical in form or very 
 slightly flattened underneath, reaches almost to the base of the 
 prothorax, it is ciliate underneath; the third joint, which is 
 distinctly longer than the first is , together with the following 
 joints up to about the middle of the sixth, provided with a thin 
 fringe of very long hairs underneath. The head is thickly pun- 
 ctured in front, as well as on the vertex. The prothorax is 
 strongly enough but not very thickly punctured. It has three 
 narrow pale-fulvous vittae above and one — broader — on 
 each side. The elytra are thickly but rather feebly punctured; 
 the suture and four or five lines on each elytron are covered 
 with a pale-fulvous pubescence , the intervals almost , glabrous 
 and subnitid, are of a dark chestnut-brown colour. The legs 
 and underside of the body have a slight greyish pubescence , 
 with a pale fulvous vitta on each side of the meso and meta- 
 thorax. The hind femora reach to about the middle of the se- 
 cond- abdominal segment. 
 
 188. Hyllisia consimilis, sp. n. H. lineatae persimilis sed minor;

 Carin Mts. (Cheba district), alt. 900-1100 m. 
 
 This very closely resembles the preceding species , but is di- 
 stinctly smaller ; the head is less strongly and less thickly pun- 
 ctured above and exhibits no trace of the two feebly elevated 
 glabrous lines; the delicate hair fringe of the antennae is not 
 so long (this character may not be of specific importance, as in 
 
C. J. GAHA.> 
 
 one or two undescribed species the individuals seem to vary 
 with regard to the length of the hairs or ciliae on the anten- 
 nae); the scape of the antennae has, at the inner apex, a nar- 
 row cicatrice bounded by a very fine edge. There is some trace 
 of a cicatrice in the same position in H. lineata, but in this 
 species I have not been able to detect a limiting carina. In the 
 present species also the apices of the elytra are somewhat more 
 distinctly truncate. Closely as this species resembles //. lineata, 
 its resemblance to a South African form (? H. subvirgala, Fairm. i 
 is scarcely less pronounced. The latter species has the same 
 general facies and style of coloration. The scape of its antennae 
 is also furnished with a very narrow smooth cicatrice, limited 
 by a sharp but very feeble carina. The apices of the elytra 
 are more obliquely truncate, becoming in fact sub-acuminate. 
 The most essential difference between the two species lies in 
 the prosternum, whicii in the African species is not only nar- 
 rower between the coxae, but does not widen out to nearly so 
 great an extent posteriorly. 
 
 Hippopsis tonkinea , Fairm., appears to be very much like 
 Hyllisia comimilis and probably belongs to the same genus.

 Carin Mts. (Cheba district), alt. 300-1000 m.; also Burma

 Though at first sight looking rather unlike Smermus Mnis- 
 zechi , Lac. — the type of the genus — there can be little 
 doubt that the true place of the present species is in this 
 genus, with which it agrees in all its chief structural chara- 
 cters. The prothorax is somewhat shorter and is more thickly 
 punctured than in Mniszechi. The elytra are each almost regu- 
 larly rounded at the apex. The length of the antennae in the 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA SI 
 
 examples before me is from three to four times that of the 
 body. 
 
 A closely allied species occurs in Java. This species {Smermus 
 similis, sp. n.) differs from sericeus in having slightly obliquely 
 truncated apices to the elytra. The size is smaller. Long. 
 12 mm. 
 
 The pale fulvous-grey silky pubescence of the elytra forms 
 somewhat irregular longitudinal bands uniting at the apex, and 
 with a darker, somewhat brownish , pubescence filling in the 
 intervals anteriorly. The vertex of the head is much less thickly 
 punctured.

 Teinz6 in Upper Burma. One female example. 
 
 This species ought , perhaps , to constitute a genus distinct 
 from Tetraglenes. Its head is somewhat differently shaped, being 
 very much wider at the base , with prominent cheeks , and 
 (considering the size of the insect) very strong mandibles ; the 
 antennae in the female are quite as long as^ or rather longer 
 than, the body ; the relative proportions of the joints are how- 
 ever nearly the same as in 7'. insignis, Newm., with the exception 
 of the first joint which is relatively shorter. The elytra have 
 their sides nearly parallel in their anterior fourth fifths , and 
 are narrowed towards the apex, where each is cut back obli- 
 quely from the suture, so that they appear slightly divaricate. 
 
 The species, though more uniform in coloration, bears a strong 
 general resemblance to Tetraglenes insignis, and may provision- 
 ally be considered congeneric with it.

 The head in this species is shaped like that of Tetraglenes 
 insignis; and the eyes also offer the same characters. 
 
 White unfortunately and, we may add, carelessly described 
 and figured a specimen in which the head was misplaced. The 
 front of the head was uppermost , the vertex in front , while 
 that part of the head which ought to have been inserted in the 
 prothorax did duty for a mouth. No wonder, therefore, that, as 
 White remarks, the mouth-parts were wanting. This explanation 
 will account for Lacordaire's observations on the genus. 
 
 Estigmenida , gen. nov. 
 
 Intermediate cotyloid cavities open. Claws of tarsi divergent. 
 A sinus on the intermediate tibiae. Heid with the front trape- 
 ziform and oblique, the antennal tubercles somewhat prominent 
 and slightly divergent; the mouth parts applied to the anterior 
 coxae when the head is fully retracted. Prothorax slightly con- 
 vex above, scarcely longer than broad, with the sides sub-pa- 
 rallel and unarmed; with the pronotum in the middle line about 
 twice as long as the presternum; the latter forming a very 
 narrow boundary to the coxal cavities in front, rather narrow 
 in the middle between the coxae, but widening out considerably 
 behind. Elytra nearly one half broader than the prothorax, their 
 sides very gradually narrowed and almost parallel in their an- 
 terior three fourths and thence mere strongly narrowed to the 
 apex ; the latter truncate. Each elytra with three or four costae 
 of which one lateral and outermost is somewhat more promi- 
 nent than the rest. The mesosternum is , like the presternum , 
 almost flat; it gradually narrows posteriorly. The legs are of 
 moderate length; the femora slightly incrassate below the middle; 
 the middle coxae of the male each with a small sharp conical 
 tubercle at its inner summit. 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTEKA FROM BURMA »d 
 
 inae of the male about equal in length to the body ; 
 first joint rather short and thick, the third nearly twice as long, 
 the fourth distinctly shorter than the third, the fifth and follow- 
 ing subequal among themselves , each very mucli shorter than 
 the fourth; the third, fourth and fifth with a short thick fringe 
 of hairs underneath. 
 
 The antennae of the female resemble those of the male; but 
 are much shorter ; surpassing by a little only the middle of the 
 elytra. 
 
 The combination of characters above described shows that 
 this genus does not fit well into any of Lacordaire's groups. 
 It is undoubtedly nearly allied to Pemptolasius, to "which I have 
 already, with some doubt, assigned a position near Ectatosia.

 The resemblance of this species to Estigmena chmensis, Hope 
 — a tolerably common Oriental Hispid — is most striking, and 
 appears to me to be the result of something more than mere 
 accidental causes. Not only are the colours , punctuation , and 
 whole general aspect of two species very much alike; but the 
 antennae of the Longicorn do not show so great a difference 
 from those of the Hispid , as , from their greater length , they 
 might be expected to. This is due to the fact that the last six 
 joints are slender, are mostly of a pale-greyish colour, and are 
 not fringed with hairs like the basal joints, and in consequence 
 are not so distinctly visible at a short distance. What advantage 
 the Longicorn could derive from thus mimicking the Hispid is 
 
S4 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 not obvious; indeed the sober style of coloration, or absence of 
 bright warning colours, seems opposed to the idea that the Hi- 
 spid might be recognized by insectivorous animals as a dista- 
 steful morsel.

 Tikekee in Pegu (c/'); Carin (district of Cheba; ($). 
 
 Clothed with a dull cinereous-grey pubescence. The elytra 
 with black markings consisting, on each, of: P' a short basal 
 vitta which unites, behind the scutellum, with its fellow to form 
 a triangular or Y-shaped figure; 2'"' an irregular patch placed 
 below, and extending a little behind, the shoulder; 3'''' a trans- 
 verse plaga or fascia situated at about the middle; and 4"^ a 
 somewhat similar plaga between the middle and the apex. The 
 prothorax is longer than broad , somewhat constricted towards 
 the base, with the sides feebly rounded in the middle, and each 
 furnished with a minute and almost imperceptible tooth ; the 
 disk exhibits some minute, asperate, scattered punctures. The 
 elytra appear rather thickly punctured towards the base and 
 as far as the middle, but are almost impunctate towards the 
 apex. The disk of each elytron in the male is armed at some 
 distance from the base with a small backwardly directed spine. 
 
 In three examples from the Carin Hills, which I take to be 
 females of this species, on account of their very close agreement 
 in colour and markings with the male type , this discal spine 
 of the elytra is wanting; the disk of the prothorax also does 
 not show the asperate punctures which are present in the male. 
 
 The species is undoubtedly congeneric with R. spinosula, Pasc. 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BCRMA 85 
 
 but may be readily distinguished by certain structural characters 
 as well as by its colour and markings. Its elytra are obliquely 
 truncate and not emarginate nor mucronate at their apices ; 
 nor are they asperate at the base. In view of the nature of 
 tlie sexual differences in the present species , I think it not unli- 
 kely that R. simplex, Pasc. may prove to be the female of R. 
 spinosula, Pasc.

 This variety has two greyish-white spots on each elytron 
 in addition to the sutural band. One spot is placed anteriorly, 
 close to, but not in contact with, the sutural band ; the second 
 spot, at about the middle of the length of the elytron, touches 
 the sutural band. The external apical angles of the elytra are 
 less distinctly toothed than in Ceylonese examples. Beyond these 
 small differences, the Burmese example before me seems to 
 exhibit no decided characters by which it could be considered 
 specifically distinct from the examples from Ceylon which I 
 have named from comparison with the type specimen.

 Reddish brown, thickly and strongly punctured. Head with 
 lemon-yellow pubescence in fi-ont (along the middle excepted). 
 Prothorax with a lemon -yellow band on each side; the upper 
 borders of these bands are sub-parallel , so that the median 
 dorsal space enclosed between them is nearly oblong in shape. 
 Elytra with a basal transverse band , two large rounded spots 
 at the middle which touch one another at the suture , two 
 smaller spots before the apex, and two very small spots placed 
 at the extreme apex, lemon-yellow. Sides of the breast similarly 
 coloured. Apices of the elytra with the inner angles slightly, 
 the outer angles strongly and distinctly, spined. Legs yellowish 
 brown. 
 
 This species somewhat resembles Glenea vesta, Pasc. but may 
 may be distinguished by its paler colour; the oblong form of 
 the dorsal median brown space of the prothorax; the presence 
 of two distinct spots, conjoined at the suture, which are placed 
 at the middle of the elytra, and of a small transverse or slightly 
 oblique spot at the extreme apex of each elytron. The abdomen 
 moreover is almost entirely reddish brown underneath.

 Testaceous, clothed with a fulvous-brown pubescence. Pro- 
 thorax with two fulvous-grey vittae on each side of the me- 
 dian dorsal carina; tliese vittae are bounded by black lines 
 four in number, and extend on to the occiput of the head; 
 the sides of the prothorax have each two indistinct greyish ful- 
 vous bands. Elytra fulvous-brown, with black markings which 
 include a narrow glabrous spot on each shoulder, two conjoined 
 spots on each elytron just before the middle , three siiort vittae 
 between the middle and apex (the two outer of which are 
 longer than the innermost and unite posteriorly) and a trans- 
 verse spot or band at the apex. Each elytron has two carinae 
 at the side, and one on the disk; the latter carina is distinct 
 enough near the base but becomes obsolete before the middle. 
 Elytra rather sparsely but distinctly punctured ; prothorax with 
 a few indistint punctures. Legs and body underneath testaceous, 
 with a fulvous brown pubescence; the tarsi and the inner side 
 of the hind femora somewhat blackish ; claws of the male ap- 
 pendiculate; first joint of the four anterior tarsi in the same sex 
 rather strongly dilated. Antennae black, with a slight greyish 
 pubescence underneath.

 The females possess also that peculiar character of the claws 
 of the tarsi which I have already pointed out (loc. supra cit.) 
 as existing in the males. The females are to be distinguished from 
 the males by their somewhat larger size, shorter antennae, and 
 by having the last abdominal segment broader, and impressed 
 along the middle of its ventral surface by a feeble groove.

 There is a considerable amount of variation, in the coloration 
 of the prothorax amongst the examples which I refer to this 
 species. In some the prothorax is entirely fulvous, in some there 
 is a small greyish-black spot on each side of the disk ; in others 
 these spots elongate to become vittae, while in a fourth set of 
 examples the upper side of the prothorax is almost entirely 
 greyish-black. The elytra in all are greyish-black , with a dorsal 
 fulvous vitta, narrowing from the base, on each elytron. This 
 vitta in some examples is exceedingly short, forming in fact 
 a mere basal spot; while in others it extends almost to the 
 apex of the elytra. The punctuation of the elytra in one series 
 of examples appears to be somewhat stronger than in another 
 set; but as tiiis cliaracter also is variable, and tlie difference 
 slight, I am forced to regard all the examples as belonging to 
 a single variable species.

 Fulvous or yellowish-testaceous. Head, antennae, the apical 
 fifth or sixth of the elytra , the apical half of the last abdominal 
 segment, the posterior tibiae and tarsi black. Prothorax with 
 its sides subparallel, or very slightly rounded in the middle 
 between the anterior and posterior transverse grooves; the width 
 of the prothorax slightly exceeds its length , the difference being 
 more marked in the female than in the male. Elytra rather 
 strongly and thickly punctured as far as the apical black patch, 
 with the punctures arranged more or less regularly in close 
 longitudinal rows. The disk of the elytra is slightly flattened 
 and depressed a little below the base, and has an obsoletely 
 raised line towards its outer edge on each side; the sides of 
 the elytra have each a rather indistinct longitudinal carina; the 
 apices are truncate in a slightly oblique direction, the inner 
 angles being less prolonged than the outer. The antennae in 
 both sexes are longer than the body , those of the male exceed- 
 ing it by about the last three joints. The last ventral abdo- 
 minal segment of the male has a rather deep semi-oval depression 
 along its hinder half. 
 
 From A', ustulata, Erichs. which it very closely resembles, 
 the present species may be distinguished by its black-head, 
 slightly longer antennae, and the less distinct lateral carinae 
 of its elytra.

 Taken by Signor Fea at Bham(i in Upper Burma, at Carin 
 Mts. 400-600 m.; at Palon, at Rangoon and at Thagata. 
 
 This species is subject to a certain amount of variation in the 
 extent to which the black coloration spreads over the basal 
 half of the elytra. In a male example taken at Bhamo the black 
 on the basal half of the elytra is confined to a small longitudinal 
 patch on, and behind, each shoulder. In a female specimen 
 from Thagata the anterior sixth of the elytra is testaceous, the 
 grey-black colour forming a zone between this and the middle. 
 In those examples in which the grey-black is most extensive , 
 there is still a small testaceous patch left at the extreme basal 
 margin. In other respects the species appears to be constant 
 enough. The transverse black fascia at the apex of the elytra 
 is always very distinct. The lateral carina passing back from 
 each shoulder is sharp and prominent, but does not extend 
 quite up to the apex; the dorsal costa on each side limits ex- 
 ternally a rather broad shallow depression which lies between 
 it and the suture. The black antennae are about equal in length 
 to the body in the female, a little longer in the male. Tarsal

 Fulvous, with a faint greyish pubescence. Elytra with the 
 apical fourth or fifth black, the rest yellowish testaceous: clo- 
 sely and rather strongly punctured up to a little beyond the 
 middle ; with a well defined carina on each side which does not 
 quite reach to the apex; the disk not depressed and scarcely 
 even flattened along the middle, without a distinct costa; apices 
 truncate in a slightly oblique direction, with the angles very 
 feebly mucronate. Body underneath fulvous, with a small spot 
 on the side of the prothorax, the sides of the meso-and meta- 
 thorax, and tip of abdomen blackish. Legs fulvous, with all 
 the tarsi, the hind tibiae, and, to a slight extent, the middle 
 and hind femora blackish-brown. 
 
 In its general build and in the form of its prothorax this 
 species has a close resemblance to N. variabilis, and to an un- 
 described species from North India; its antennae are, however, 
 quite different , being slenderer and longer , and having the 
 fourth joint equal in length to the second and third united.

 The lateral carina of the elytra is less distinct in tiiis species 
 than in most of the known species of Nupserha. In size and 
 coloration it somewhat resembles N. uslulala, Erichs., from which 
 it is easily to be distinguished by the character just mentioned 
 as well as by the absence of a distinct dorsal costa from the 
 elytra, the obscurely annulated antennae and other less im- 
 portant characters. The last ventral segment of the male of the 
 present species has a rather deep triangular depression on the 
 posterior third. 
 
 Nupserha annulata, Thoms. (Stibara) approaches the present 
 species very closely in structural characters, and is to be di- 
 stinguished from it by its concolorous (yellowish-testaceous) 
 apices of the elytra, the more distinct fuscous colour at the 
 margins of the elytra, which, however, does not reach the 
 base or apex, the fuscous spot or band at each side of the 
 prothorax, and by the almost entire greyish-black colour of 
 the underside of the body.

 Teinzo in Upper Burma, Meetan and Carin Mts. (district of 
 Cheba). The British Museum has examples from Darjeeling, 
 Nepal, and Sylhet in North India. 
 
 This species is to be distinguished from those having a similar 
 coloration, by the deep and rather broad excavation which oc- 
 cupies nearly the whole length of the ventral side of the last 
 abdominal segment in the male. The abdomen, like the apices 
 of the elytra, is usually tipped svith brownish black. The hind 
 femora do not reach beyond the middle of the second abdominal 
 segment. From 0. fuscipennis^ Chev. , which it most nearly 
 resembles, the species may be distinguished by its somewhat nar- 
 rower and more elongated prothorax, and the much deeper 
 excavation of the last abdominal segment of the male.

 Fulvous; elytra somewhat pale brown with a greyish pube- 
 scence. Prothorax broader than long, slightly gibbous on the 
 middle of the disk. First segment of the abdomen in the male 
 produced behind into a narrow median process which extends 
 back almost three fourths the length of the following segment. 
 This process is slightly expanded towards its extremity, where 
 also it bears a short and not very dense fringe of fulvous hairs. 
 The last ventral segment of the male is truncate at the apex, 
 just in front of which it bears a feeble heart-shaped depression. 
 The antennae are black , and somewhat shorter than the body ; 
 the third joint is scarcely perceptibly longer than the fourth. 
 The hind femora reach a little beyond the hind border of the 
 second abdominal segment. 
 
yO C. J. GAHAN 
 
 This species has a close general resemblance , and is probably 
 nearly allied , to 0. fuscipennis, Chevr. In the latter species the 
 elytra are less pubescent and somewhat more strongly punctu- 
 red, the last ventral segment of the male has a larger and 
 deeper depression, and the first segment is concolorous and 
 unarmed. The curious abdominal process with which 0. armala 
 is provided seems to be confined to this species. I do not re- 
 collect the occurrence of anything similar to it elsewhere among 
 the Longicorns. A somewhat similar process does, however, oc- 
 cur among certain species of Galerucinae (Gen. Hoplasoma, Jac).

 This species agrees very closely in structural details with 
 0. curialiSj Pasc, which occurs in Sumatra , Java and Penang. 
 The difference is chiefly one of colour. In curiaiis the elytra 
 are distinctly black, while the head and prothorax are reddish. 
 In the present species the elytra are fulvous, testaceous some- 
 what infuscate externally and towards the apex; the head and 
 prothorax are yellowish tawny. So far as I can judge from the 
 few specimens of each form that I have seen, these differences 
 remain constant; though possibly the species I have just described 
 may prove to be only a local or pale variety of 0. curiaiis.

 the middle of each , dark brown posteriorly and along the sides 
 and suture. The prothorax is scarcely broader than it is long, 
 and has its sides almost perfectly straight and parallel. The

 guished from the present species by its black head, the more

 the structure of the last dorsal segment of the female which 
 ends in two sharp teeth between which is a deep but rather 
 narrow emargination. In the present species this plate is rounded 
 at the apex.

 have on the whole a somewhat narrower form: the front of 
 the head in the male is decidedly narrower than in modica, and 
 in this sex also the last ventral segment is very feebly or 
 scarcely at all impressed. (In a North Indian example which I 
 take to be the male of 0. modica this segment has a distinct , 
 though not strongly marked, longitudinal impression).

 impressed in the middle just before the apex. 
 
 This is one of the shortest species of Oberea known me. In 
 its size and general aspect it resembles some of the European 
 species of Phytoecia, and in fact cannot be separated from them 
 by any decided structural characters. On the other band I see 
 no good reason for separating it generically from such species 
 as Oberea marginella, modica, sericea and others. 
 
 232. Phytoecia amoena, sp. n. (PL I, fig. 16). Pube sulphurea, 
 nigra ornala, oblecla; antennis griseo-nigris, pedibus testaceis. griseo 
 subtiliter pubescenlibus. Long. 9 mm. 
 
 Carin Mts. (Cheba district). Alt. 900-1100 m. One female 
 example. 
 
 Clothed with a sulphur-yellow pubescence , with black mar- 
 kings. Head with a black spot on the lower part of the front, 
 and with a triangular spot on the occiput, with a median line 
 uniting the opposed apices of the two spots. Prothorax with its 
 median length about equal to its anterior width , its sides nearly 
 parallel and slightly constricted just before the base ; the disk 
 with two elongated black spots placed one on either side of the 
 middle line, the sides each with a small black spot. Elytra each 
 with a submarginal black line passing back from the shoulder 
 along the outer edge of the disk as far as the middle, a line 
 passing from a little behind the base, close to the suture, as 
 far as the middle where it unites with a black spot, and, 
 between tliis point and the apex, two transverse black spots 
 or fasciae , the posterior of which is much narrower than the 
 anterior, and which are united at their sutural extremities by 
 a narrow black line. Sides of the elytra almost parallel, apices 
 transversely truncate. Body underneath with a sulphur yellow 
 pubescence, which is somewhat less dense along the middle. 
 Legs testaceous, with a faint greyish pubescence. 
 
 This species has very much the general aspect of a small 
 Saperda. Its position in Phytoecia is necessitated by the cha- 
 racter of its tarsal claws, which are distinctly appendiculate.

 Bham6 in Upper Burma. One example. Also North India 
 (Brit. Mus. Coll.). 
 
 Yellowish testaceous or fulvous; the elytra somewhat paler; 
 hind-breast, abdomen and the posterior fifth or sixth of the 
 elytra dark metallic blue. Head feebly and sparingly punctured, 
 the front projecting in the middle in the form of a carina or 
 laterally-compressed tubercle, which is less well marked in the 
 female. Prothorax somewhat more thickly and more strongly 
 punctured; the disk with a tolerably distinct, though not sharply 
 limited , central umbone or swelling which is somewhat rounded 
 or transversely-oval in shape. Elytra rather thickly punctured 
 over the whole of the yellow area; less thickly and not so 
 manifestly punctured on the dark-blue apical portion. In addi- 
 tion to these larger setigerous punctures, the interstices between 
 them exhibit a very fine punctuation. 
 
 This species somewhat resembles Chreonoma dilecla, Newm. 
 (PkcBa) but the latter has the antennae almo.st entirely black, 
 the whole of the underside of the body fulvous testaceous, the 
 apex of the elytra piceous ; the prothorax also is less thickly 
 punctured , is very feeble raised on the middle of the disk , 
 and the lateral tubercles are almost obsolete; the head of the 
 female has a raised line along the middle of the lower part 
 of the front. Chreonoma melanurn, Pasc. , seems, from the de- 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTEKA FROM BURMA 101 
 
 scription, to have a similar style of coloration to the present 
 species; but may be distinguished by its dark hind legs, and by 
 its different punctuation. 
 
 ADDENDA. 
 
 The following species had been held over in the hope that 
 a comparison with types in Pascoe's collection might lead to 
 their identification. They seem, however, to be new; but only 
 those represented by well preserved specimens are described. 
 
 237. 6en.? sp. 
 Thagata in Tenasserim. 
 
 This, apparently new genus, is represented by only a single 
 somewhat imperfect specimen. It has the shortened elytra of 
 Epania or Necydalis; but this character is accompanied by a 
 roundness and fullness of the prothorax which is more suggestive 
 of the Cly tides. The femora are strongly clavate, but less 
 abruptly so than in Epania. The state of the specimen does not 
 permit me to examine sufficiently the structure of the cotyloid 
 cavities. 
 
 238. Demonax quadricolor, sp. n. Capite prothorace, corpore 
 suhlus, pedibusque et anlennis cinereis, episternis meso-, metathora- 
 cisque albescentihus; elytris fasciis pubescenCibus ornalis, pri7na 
 basali cinerea, maculam nigram oblique elongatam includenle, se- 
 cunda angusta, nigra, valde obliqua, tenia griseo-fulva triangularis 
 vix pone medium posita, quarla fulvo-brunnea transversa, quinta 
 griseo-fulva, lata, transversa, apicali; antennis ( 9 ) medium ely- 
 Irorum haud superantibus, articulis 3°, A°que extus breviter spinosis.

 Hab. Mount Mooleyit in Tenasserim. Alt. 1000-1900 m. 
 This species somewhat closely resembles D. salutarius, Pasc. 
 and other species in the pattern of its markings, but it may be 
 
102 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 distinguished by the colour of the three posterior bands of the 
 elytra; the middle one of these is fulvous-brown in colour, 
 while the submedian band, immediately in front of it, and the 
 apical band, just behind it, are both of a somewhat greyish- 
 tawny shade. The third and fourth joints of the anteiinae are 
 very briefly spined at the outer distal angle. 
 
 239. Blepephaeus parvicollis, sp. n. Pube fulvo-brunnea sericea 
 sat dense oestilus; elytris albido-cinerascentibus, playa triangulari, 
 ad basin el plaga subtriangidari el sub-elongala ulrinque bruntuo-

 punctatis; apicibus rolundatis; mesoslerno medio sat dislincle luber- 
 ciilalo, libiis intermediis prope medium kviter oblique emarginalis. 
 Long. 23. Lai. 8 mm. 
 
 Hab. Catcin Cauri in Burma. 
 
 The relatively great width of the elytra as compared with 
 the head or prothorax (the width of the elytra across the base 
 being about twice that of the base of the prothorax) gives to 
 this species a characteristic appearance. Some of its remaining 
 characters do not quite agree with those of the genus Blepe- 
 phaeus. The mesosternum has a small but distinct tubercle at 
 about the middle of its length; the middle tibiae bear an evi- 
 dent, though feeble, oblique groove just below tlie middle.

 Palon in Pegu. One somewliat rubbed specimen. 
 
 241. Pterolophia chebana, sp. n. V- Fusca, pube fulvo-grisea,

 Hab. Carin (district of Cheba; alt. 900-1100 m.). One female 
 example. 
 
 Head very sparsely punctured, clothed with a not very dense 
 greyisli tawny pubescence. Prothorax a little more strongly and 
 
LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 103 
 
 hiore thickly punctured, with a similar greyish tawny pubescence, 
 which is more widely interrupted by dark brown. It is only 
 slightly convex above. Elytra with a fulvous grey pubescence , 
 a good deal interrupted with dark brown towards the base, and 
 crossed by a broad but rather indistinct dark brown band just 
 behind the middle. They are slightly flattened above , and are 
 thickly punctured with rather large and sub-oblong punctures, 
 which are more distinctly seen on the less pubescent dark brown 
 areas ; they are strongly enough and regularly declivous behind, 
 with the apices rounded. The antennae of the female are about 
 equal in length to three-fourths of the body ; the fourth joint 
 is widely, the other joints (first, faintly fulvous excepted) nar- 
 rowly covered with fulvous-grey pubescence at the base. 
 
 This species is more flattened and more even above, and the 
 vertical heiglit of the elytra consequently less than is the case 
 with the great majority of the species placed in the genus 
 Plerolophia (= Praonetha). 
 
 242. Pterolophia bimaculata, sp. n. Sub-angusta: capiie fulvo- 
 puhescente, supra fusco-bipunctato; prothorace griseo, supra biluber- 
 culato; eUjtris sat dense punctalis, pube grisea, fulvescente pauUo 
 mixta, sat dense vestitts; ulrisque bast breviter hand distincle cri- 
 slatiSj postice sat gradatim dedivis et macula elongata paullo arcuata 
 fusca instructis, apicibus sub-truncatis; pedibus supra fulvo-brunneis, 
 sublus cinereis; antennis (^i) medium elytrorum paullo superan- 
 tibus. Long. 9. Lat. 3 mm. 
 
 Head with a fulvous-brown pubescence; vertex with two 
 small sub-glabrous black spots. Prothorax grey; the disk with 
 two obtuse tubercles. Elytra grey mixed with fulvous ; each , 
 between the middle and apex, bears an elongate dark brown 
 spot, the anterior end of which is somewhat broader and turned 
 in obliquely towards the suture. The legs are clothed with a 
 fulvous-brown pubescence on the upper, and with a cinereous 
 pubescence on the underside. 
 
 This species may be recognized by its rather narrow form , 
 its dorsally tubercled prothorax, its posteriorly gradually decli- 
 vous elytra; and especially by the two post-median dark brown 
 
104 C. J. GAHAN 
 
 elytral spots, of which that on the right side has somewhat the 
 shape of a comma.
