"■ll^l II. S. GORHAM 



The umlrTsido is hlnck punctured on the sides deeply but not 

 coarsely, in the middle very sparsely, the abdomen rather more 

 thickly than the metasternum. The lines as usual in this genus 

 long, parallel and raised. There are only two specimens, and 

 from the slight difference in the prothoraces I infer that they 

 are the sexes ; I can see no difference in the legs ; the elytra 

 appear a little more distinctly truncate in the female? It is a 

 very clean , neat species not like anything known to me , re- 

 minding one of some species of the Elaleridae sucli as Athoiis. 



19. Anadastus capitatus, n. sp. 



Niger, capite profunde crebre, prothorace leviter parcius punc- 

 tatis, hoc rufo subquadrato, postice parum angustato, elylrU nigro- 

 caeruleis postice angustatis, punctato-strialis, prosterno nigrescente 

 abdomine par ce punctalo, antennarum articulis quinque basalibics 

 rufis. Long. G. 8-8.5 millim. 



Hob. Burma , Garin Gheba. 



Head black , rather strongly and rather thickly punctured 

 antennae with the basal joints elongate , the club tive-jointed , 

 the seventh not very wide. The thorax is a little less strongly 

 and perhaps not quite so thickly punctured as the head, the 

 centre is distinctly channelled , the fi-ont margin is a little 

 darkened. The elytra are rather short and narrowed to the apex. 

 The underside is strongly but sparsely punctate, the lines are 

 carinate and extend three-quarters of the length of the segment, 

 the abdomen black. It is nearest to L. cuneiformis , Grotch (a 

 Bornean species) but the black abdomen , and stronger punc- 

 tuation, and canaliculate thorax will at once separate it. Although 

 in the specimen I have used as a type five joints are distinctly 

 rufous, in others only three or at most four are so. The logs 

 are quite black and the elytra very dark blue almost black. 



I have not at present been able to identify L. melanocephala, 

 Harold (Dej) = collaris, Motsch. but it ajijiears to be a different 

 species to the present, and not to attain the size of the larger 

 examples.
