underneath with a faint greyish pubescence, with the hind mar- 

 gins of the abdominal segments and the lateral pieces of the 

 thorax somewhat fulvous. Legs ferruginous red, with the tarsi 

 and apices of the tibiae fuscous.

Garin Mts. (Gheba district), alt. 900-1100 m. ; Teinzò in Up- 

 per Burma. 



This species is known also from Japan and China ; and from 

 Assam, Nepal and other districts in North India. 



Hope's diagnosis of Lamia cervina is too brief to be of the 

 least use in the identification of the species ; especially as there 

 are many closely allied and very similar forms. 1 regret, the- 

 refore, that, in deference to the law of priority, I am obliged to 

 displace the more recent and better known name. In the British 

 Museum collection there are two abnormal examples of this spe- 

 cies, from Hong Kong, in which the antennae are nine-jointed. 



91. Haplohammus punctifrons, sp. n. H. cervino persimilis sed 

 differì capitis fronte verliceque sparsim punctulatis, antennarum 

 scapo parum graciiiori, vix longiori. Long. 15-18 mm. 



Tenasserim : Kawkaret and Meetan ; Garin (district of Gheba), 

 alt. 900-1100 m. 



Closely allied to H. cervinus^ Hope, from which it differs by 

 having the scape of the antennae slightly narrower and more 

 cylindrical, and scarcely perceptibly longer ; and the head spar- 

 sely punctured in front, and on that part of the vertex which 

 lies between the antennae and the upper lobes of the eyes. In 

 H. cervinus the head is usually entirely impunctate, though in 

 three or four, out of the many examples that I have seen, there 

 are a few widely dispersed punctures on the front. 



I have seen only females of the present species; the male 

 will probably be found to have joints 3.''''-5.^'' of the antennae 

 thickened as in //. cervinus.
