COCCINELLIDAE FROM HIIIMA 689 



Ilab. Birma, Garin Gheba. 



This species differs from the last (0. discoideus) in being hirger 

 more convex, more evidently punctured, and in having the su- 

 ture and legs black. The head (in the single example) is some- 

 what reddish, but so dark especially at the base as to be almost 

 black. The legs incline to bo reddish, but are very dark. I have 

 very little doubt the example is a male, and that the female 

 would be even darker in the parts usually black in that sex. 



27. Orcus bipunctatus, n. sp. 



Orbicularis, convexus„ iiitidus, crebre ac distincte /hrliler punc- 

 taluSj sauguineo-rufus ; elytrorum sutnra plus mimisve, pimelo 

 basali alleroque discoidali el margine reflexo late nigris. Long. 2.5 

 millim. 



Hab. Birma, Bhamo; Tenasserim, Meetan. 



Rather larger than 0. discoideus and more deeply and very 

 distinctly punctured. The head and thorax and disk of the elytra 

 are deep blood-red, the latter each with a black spot on the 

 middle of the base, and one free in the middle of the disk, the 

 suture has a common spot about the middle often joined to the 

 base by a black line common to the suture on each elytron, 

 and often joined to the apical black , but often the suture is 

 only very indistinctly darker. The margins are black as in 

 0. discoideus^ the extreme limb is often reddish. The example 

 from Tenasserim is a little more strongly punctured than the 

 others. Legs and mouth organs yellow. Four examples. 



28. Orcus quadriguttatus, n. sp. 



Orbicularis, mod ice convexus, piceus, nilidus, crebre for tiler punc- 

 iatus, elytris singulis maculis duabus sanguineo-rufis; capile, ely- 

 trorum inarginibus, prolhoracis lateribus corporeque subtus rufo- 

 piceis, pedibus ferrugineis. Long. 1.75 millim. 



Hab. Rangoon , Bhamo. 



This small Orcus may be distinguished from other known to 

 me by the coarse, and (on the elytra) rather ii'regular punc- 

 tuation ; striae cannot be said to be present, but the larger
