LXV. 



ON THE COCCINELLIDAE COLLECTED 

 BY Me. L. FEA IN BIRMA 



BY Rev. H. S. Gorham. 



The Coccinellidae collected by Sign. Leonardo Fea in Birma 

 and Tenasserim form an important addition to our knowledge 

 of this group in the East. On the whole there is of course a 

 large proportion of species which are widely distributed over 

 the whole of the Indian continent, and some of which extend 

 very much further; as a comparison of the species now recorded 

 with those in my notice of Coccinellidae from India (Ann. de 

 la Soc. Ent. Belg. XXXVIII, 1894, p. 200) will abundantly 

 show. But fourteen species are now described as unknown to me, 

 and there are in addition several remarkable specific varieties, 

 and three or four other species of Scijmnus, one of Jaurcwia^ and 

 a probably new genus allied to Clanis which it was not pos- 

 sible to describe, the material not being enough. The collection 

 was, as all Sign. Fea's are, in admirable condition and most 

 carefully labelled with the altitude and dates of capture, which 

 must ultimately be of value in ascertaining the distribution ver- 

 tically of difficult and variable species.
