LONCtICORN COLEOPTERA from BURMA 21 



54. Xylotrechus Phidias , Newm. — ? Clijtus Buqueii , T.ap. & 

 Gory, Monograph, des Clytus (1841), p. 86, pi. 16, fig. 99. — 

 Clytus Phidias, Newm., The Entomologist, vol. 1 (1842) p. 246 (c/'). 



Two examples ( (/• and 9 ) taken at Thagatà in Tenasserim. 



Malo 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 

 witli 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 A'. 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 A. Buqueti, L. & G. in all but the colour of the 

 pubescence on the head and prothorax which in Buqueii 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 b}' Signor 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 I regard it as synonymous 

 with A, Phidias. 



55. Xylotrechus vicinus, Lap. & Gory. — Clijtus vicinus. Lap. 

 & Gory, Monograph., p. 38, pi. 8, fig. 47. 



Taken at Rangoon; at Meetan and Kawkareet in Tenasserim. 

 It occurs also at Moulmein in Burma, and at Calcutta and 

 Bhotan in N. India. 



The males differ from the females by the same characters of 

 the last dorsal segment as in A. Phidias, Newm. 



56. Perissus proprius, sp. n. (c/) Niger; capite prothoraceque
