12. Caenolanguria ? depressa, n. sp. 



Nigra, dejiressa, capile jyrufhoraccque rufis, distincte parce punc- 

 talis, hoc ohlongo, pone medium angusfato, medio obsolete silicato , 

 scute I lo piceo, el g tris nigris grosse punctato-striatis; regione circum- 

 scutellari, picescente, antenuis longis, tenuibus, ociUis fortiter gra- 

 nulatis. Long. 8-9 millim. 



Hab. Burma , Bhainò. 



Yar. Tota pallide ferruginea, antennarum clava, geniculis et 

 sutura fuscis. 



Hab. Burma, Rangoon. 



Head with very prominent coarsely facetted eyes, antennae 

 black, the two basal joints reddish, and bead-shaped, the third 

 to the eiglith elongate , the last three forming a lax club , the 

 apical joint pitchy. Thorax oblong and very flat, scarcely wider . 

 than the eyes, very little contracted in front, behind the middle 

 narrowing to the base, almost in a straight line ; half as long 

 again as wide, very sparsely punctured, but the impressed points 

 deep and irregular , rather coarse , the middle with a shallow 

 channel extending nearly from the front to the base , bnsal 

 striolae short, punctiform. The scutellum is round, with a punc- 

 tiform impression. The elytra are depressed and parallel almost 

 to the apex, with closely packed rows of square punctures, 

 those nearest the suture l)eing impressed in obsolete striae, the 

 apices are evenly round with no trace of truncation. The legs 

 and underside are black, the former long, their extreme bases 

 a little pitchy. The breast and abdomen have a few scattered 

 |)unctures, and the reHexed sides of the thorax have a very few 

 largish ones. Two examples from Bhamo, and one of the yellow 

 variety from Rangoon. 



This is a difficult species to classify. By its abdomen , eyes , 

 antennae and elytra, it conforms very well to the type of 

 Caenolanguria; the punctuation of the head and thorax, and the 

 depressed form, give it an appearance quite different to any 

 other species, at present 1 propose to place it among them as 

 an aberrant form.
