LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 43 



line extending from the epistome to the thorax, with two short 

 oblique black lines on the vertex , each commencing at , and 

 appearing as a continuation of, the upper lobe of the eye. 

 Prothorax furnished at the middle of each side with a tolerably 

 strong spine, and just in front of the spine with a small tubercle; 

 the disk exhibiting a slightly raised area, somewhat cordate in 

 shape, of which the obtuse apex almost touches the scutellum, 

 and at the anterior extremity of which there is on each side 

 a very small tubercle ; along each side of the middle line there 

 are some closely placed black granules (which in the largest 

 specimen appear as two distinct black patches), and there are 

 a few scattered granules extending on to the lateral part of 

 the disk and around the base of the lateral spine and tubercle; 

 the pubescence of the prothorax is partly pale fulvous (chiefly 

 on the raised central area) but mostly dull greyish , with a 

 very small blackish spot surrounded by a whitish patch placed 

 on the side anterior to, and just above, the angle of the cotyloid 

 cavity. The scutellum is whitish, with a very small black point 

 in front. Tlie elytra are somewhat asperately, but not densely 

 punctured at the base ; the punctures, becoming gradually feebler 

 posteriorly, entirely disappear at about the beginning of the 

 apical fourth. The velvety brown pubescence of the elytra is 

 limited to a larger irregular and somewhat broken patch occu- 

 pying the middle of the basal fourth , and to three , or more , 

 patches on each side, of which the one the nearest the middle 

 is much larger than the rest. The body underneath and the 

 legs vary from greyish-l)rown to brown , with a distinct spot 

 on each of the meso- and meta-thoracic epimera , some small 

 obscure spots on the abdomen, and a narrow sinuous ring near 

 the apex of each of the femora , whitish. The antennae , more 

 than twice as long as the body in the male, and half as long 

 again as the body in the female, are brownish, with a fulvous 

 spot near the outer extremity of the scape, and a dull greyish 

 ring at the base of the third and following joints. The meso- 

 sternum is very feebly tubercled between the middle coxae.
