punctures tend to form lines. The red spots do not toucli tlie 

 base nor the apex of the elytra, and the apical pair are more 

 remote from tho apex than the basal are from the base; the 

 four form a square, and are united longitudinally but not at 

 the suture. The specimen from Bhamo is rather darker than the 

 type, and has the punctuation more regular and more distinct. 

 Two specimens, one from each locality. 



29. Aspidimerus ruficrus, n. sp 



Oblongo-ocatus, niger^ tenuiter breviter puhescms, abdomine et 

 femoribus sangumeis, tibiis tarsisque flavis ; elylris flavih, sutimi 

 margineque laterali pmictisque duobus, uno in callo altero discoi- 

 dali, nigris. Long. 3.5-4 millim. 



Hah. Garin Gheba. 



Head and thorax black, the former indistinctly ochreous in 

 front, in the smaller example of three now before me; the latter 

 very closely and finely punctured , clothed with short golden 

 pubescence. The underside is blackish, the abdomen indistinctly 

 deep blood-red, the sterna are rather coarsely punctured, the 

 abdomen more finely so and pubescent. Femora blood-red, tibiae 

 and tarsi yellow. Elytra ochreous yellow, the suture black 

 widening a little in the middle, the lateral margin widens to 

 beyond the middle and is then suddenly reduced in width, but 

 is wider again at the apex. Of the two elytral spots the discoidal 

 one is the larger. 



Three examples. 



30. Aspidimerus tri-oblitus, n. sp. 



Breviler obovatiis, capile {maris) flavo, feminae nigro, prothorace 

 nigro, macula parva bene discreta in angulo antico flava, ehjtris 

 ochraceis macula communi discoidali maggia,, altera marginali, api- 

 ceque late nigris, sublus nigrescens pedibus flavis. Long. 2.5 millim. 



Hah. Garin Gheba. 



Much smaller than A. ruficrus, and the elytra are widened 

 behind, so as to appear orbicular, while the prothorax is nar- 

 rowed in front.
