LANGURIIDAE FROM BURMA 269 



to the base, the basal strigae are rather distiru-t, shoi't, neat lines 

 divaricating, the basal transverse depression scarcely more punc- 

 tured, than the disk. The femora are not very stout, the ante- 

 rior pair flattened on their inner sides for the tibiae, the tibiae 

 clothed with soft golden pubescence at their tips. The underside 

 is smooth except at the sides, where distinct punctuation is 

 found. The antennae do not vary much in the species of these 

 two genera, in the present insect the basal joint is almost glo- 

 bular, 2, is smaller but similar in shape, 3-7 are nearly of the 

 same length fusiform, the seventh being flattened and a little 

 widened to form the base of a long lax club of four transverse 

 joints, the apical joint being less wide than the tenth, and with 

 its outer side rather obliquely flattened ofl". The palpi present 

 no especial characters, they have simply an awl-shaped but 

 blunt point, and they and the antennal joints will not be re- 

 ferred to again except where any special difference is found. 



There is only one example of this species, perhaps from its 

 being overlooked as L. mouhoti. 



14. Stenodastus lugubris, n. sp. 



Niger vel nigro-piceus , capite leviter, prothorace sublilissime 

 pundatuSj hoc poslice leviter coarctalo, elytris vel nigris vel 7iigro- 

 piceis puncto-lineatis. Long. 6.5-8 millim.

Var. ? Capite prothoraceque obscure sanguineis. 



Hab. Tenasserim, Meetan. 



Of a uniform dark piceous colour , the legs and underside 

 with the antennae being usually nearly or quite black. The 

 thorax is as wide as long, but constricted near the base, so as 

 to be rather cordate with sinuate sides. The sides of the abdo- 

 men, and of the reflexed side of the prothorax, and of the meta- 

 sternum are punctured as in S. piceus , but this is a smaller 

 and darker insect. The elytra contract rather more decidedly to 

 the apex, than in species of the genus Anadastus, and the eyes 

 are coarser even than in S. piceus.
