LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 81 



examples before me is from three to four times that of the 

 body. 



A closely allied species occurs in Java. This species (Smermus 

 similis, sp. n.) differs from sericeus in liaving slightly obliquely 

 truncated apices to the elytra. The size is smaller. Long. 

 12 mm. 



The pale fulvous-grey silky pubescence of the elytra forms 

 somewhat irregular longitudinal bands uniting at the apex, and 

 with a darker, somewhat brownish , pubescence filling in the 

 intervals anteriorly. The vertex of the head is much less thickly 

 punctured. 



190. Tetraglenes bucculenta, sp. n. Linearis, fusco-teslacea, pube 

 fiUvo-brunnea sat dense obtecta; capiéis vertice prothoracisque dorso 

 linea media, et utrinque vitta tninus dense pubescentibus; capite 

 basi lato, genis prominentibus; elytris crebre sat forliter punctatis, 

 lateribus fere parallelis, versus apicem amjustatis, apicibus oblique 

 truncatis, sub-divaricatis; antennis ( 9 ) carpare aequalibus, fuscis; 

 subtus longe, supra mitius longe, sat denseque ciliatis. Lang. 12 ?nm.

This species ought , perhaps , to constitute a genus distinct 

 from Tetraglenes. Its head is somewhat differently shaped, being 

 very much wider at the base, with prominent cheeks, and 

 (considering the size of the insect) very strong mandibles ; the 

 antennae in the female are quite as long as, or rather longer 

 than, the body ; the relative proportions of the joints are how- 

 ever nearly the same as in 7'. insignis, Newm., with the exception 

 of the first joint which is relatively shorter. The elytra have 

 their sides nearly parallel in their anterior fourth fifths , and 

 are narrowed towards the apex, where each is cut back obli- 

 quely from the suture, so that they appear slightly divaricate. 



The species, though more uniform in coloration, bears a strong 

 general resemblance to Tetraglenes insignis, and may provision- 

 ally be considered congeneric with it.
