LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA ()1 



by its larger eyes, and the consequent narrower front of its 

 head, the more obtuse and somewhat flattened tubercle on each 

 side of the disk of the prothorax; by the small unfasciculated 

 tubercle placed in the supra-humeral depression at the base of 

 each elytron; and by its generally darker coloration.

Garin Mts. (district of Gheba). One example. 



The example taken belongs to a variety characterized by 

 having a rather large whitish plaga, placed before the middle 

 on the side of each elytron. In the examples of this species in 

 the British Museum collection which have been brought from 

 Cambodia, there is in a similar position, an indistinct plaga 

 formed of coalesced spots or small patches of a rust colour like 

 that of the general pubescence. 



The males of this species are provided with a distinct tooth 

 on the ventral side of the anterior tibiae a little below the 

 middle of their length, and also with a small tubercle or tooth 

 at about the middle of the dorsal border of the anterior femora. 

 The females sometimes exhibit a trace of a tooth on the anterior 

 tibiae in a similar position to that of the male. The last ventral 

 segment of the abdomen has almost exactly the same form in 

 both sexes , but in the female is impressed along the middle , 

 with a feeble groove. There is a more distinct fringe of fulvous 

 hairs , attached to the hind margin of the first abdominal seg- 

 ment in the male : towards the sides this fringe conceals a very 

 narrow transverse depression or declivity at the anterior margin 

 of the succeeding segment; but there is on the segment no 

 distinct semi-oval and piligerous depression as in N. picticoruis, 

 Muls. and certain other species. 



The anterior tarsi of the males do not seem to be appreciably 

 more dilated than those of the females.
