ENDOMYCIIIDAE FROM BURMA 301 



tares wliich are confluent here and there , the middle with a 

 wide, shallow fossa tlie basal sulci are deep but indefinite. The 

 elytra are widest just below the callus, and are from thence 

 contracted to the apex ; distinctly punctured , and shining , but 

 the whole insect is clothed with a short and sparse but depres- 

 sed pubescence. The colour is dark red-brown, the thorax with 

 very faint clouds lietween the sulci. 



Two examples. 



Obs. The occurrence of this genus in Burma is interesting; 

 it has not l)een recorded previously from nearer than Armenia, 

 and the Black Sea Littoral.

This remarkable species is much larger and broader than 

 T. desjardinsi, and has also the antennae rather differently for- 

 med; in the male the basal joint is stout and pear-shaped, the 

 second short, and bead-shaped, the third joint is obconic and 

 closely applied to the base of the trapezoidal fourth joint, for- 

 ming the base of the clava, while the fifth seems enclosed in 

 the apex of the fourth, and is perhaps not a real articulation
