LONGICORN COLEOPTKKA FROM BURMA 95 



Teinzo in Upper Burma, Aleetan and Carin Mts. (districjt of 

 Gheba). The British Museum has examples from Darjeeling, 

 Nepal, and Sylhet in North India. 



This species is to be distinguished from those having a similar 

 coloration , by the deep and rather broad excavation which oc- 

 cupies nearly the whole length of the ventral side of the last 

 abdominal segment in the male. The abdomen, like the apices 

 of the elytra, is usually tipped with brownish black. The hind 

 ■femora do not reach beyond the middle of the second abdominal 

 segment. From 0. fuscipmnis, Chev. , which it most nearly 

 resembles, the species may be distinguished by its somewhat nar- 

 rower and more elongated prothorax , and the much deeper 

 excavation of the last abdominal segment of the male. 



226. Oberea armata, sp. n. Fulvescens; elytris brunneo-testaceis , 

 griseo leviter pubesce?itibuSj versus basin pallidioribus; anlennis 

 nigris, tibiis posticis infuscatis; prothorace quam longiori manifeste 

 latiori, dorso medio sub-gibboso; elytris dense punctatis, medio 

 angustatis; segmento primo abdominis pallido, ad apicem medio 

 processu angusto armato ( </), segmento ultimo prope apicem subtus 

 leviter cor dato-impresso, apice truncato; femoribus posticis quam 

 segmeììtis duobus basalibus abdominis paullo longioribus. Long. 

 16 mm. 



Thagatà, Tenasserim and Carin Mts. (district of Gheba). 



Fulvous; elytra somewhat pale brown with a greyish pube- 

 scence. Prothorax broader than long, slightly gibbous on the 

 middle of the disk. First segment of the abdomen in the male 

 produced behind into a narrow median process which extends 

 back almost three fourths the length of the following segment. 

 This process is slightly expanded towards its extremity, where 

 also it bears a short and not very dense fringe of fulvous hairs. 

 The last ventral segment of the male is truncate at the apex, 

 just in front of which it bears a feeble heart-shaped depression. 

 The antennae are black , and somewhat shorter than the body ; 

 the third joint is scarcely perceptibly longer than the fourth. 

 The hind femora reach a little beyond the hind border of the 

 second abdominal segment.
