Ilab. Tenasserim : Mt. Mooleyit (Fea). 



355. Demonax fryanus, sp. n. 



Black ; liead, protliorax, antenute and legs covered with ashy- 

 grey pubescence. Elytra brownish black, tomentose, banded with 

 ashy-grey pubescence ; the first band placed at the base, shghtly 

 widened and curved back just Avithin the shoulder ; the second, 

 which is very narrow, begins at the suture just behind the scu- 

 tellum, diverges from tlie suture and at about one-fourth from 

 the base is bent round so as to run a little obliquely to the side ; 

 the tliird is a rather broad transverse band placed behind the 

 middle and widened anteriorly at the suture; the fourth is an 

 apical transverse band. Body beneath ashy grey, the episterna 

 of the meso- and metathorax and the first two abdominal segments 

 whitish, last three segments of abdomen blackish. Antennae 

 three-fourths of the length of the body in the 5 ; third and fourth 

 joints spined at the apex, the spine on the third short, that on 

 the fourth longer and more distinct. Prothorax subglobose, as 

 wide in the middle as the base of the elytra, rather densely punc- 

 tate, the interstices frequently formed into fine reticulations. 

 Elytra broadly truncate at the apex, very feebly denticulate at the 

 outer angles. Hind legs long, slender ; the femora extend by 

 a third of their length past the apex of the elytra ; the first joint 

 of the tarsi three times as long as the second and third united. 



Length 7-9 ; breadth 1|-2| mm.

This species somewhat closely resembles the Chinese D. hoiv-

 prothorax with a small black spot on the disc just behind the 

 middle. Elytra dull brownish black, banded with yellowish-grey 

 pubescence; the first band crosses the base and is curved back- 

 wards just inside the shoulders ; the second extends from the 

 basal band along the suture, diverges a little from the suture 

 posteriorly, and then is bent so as to run transversely or a little 

 obliquely forwards to the outer margin ; the third band is trans- 

 verse, triangularly dilated in front at the suture and placed wholly 

 behind the middle ; the fourth at the apex, elongated at the suture 

 in form of a triangle, the apex of which touches the band in front. 

 Body beneath yellowish grey, the episterna of the mesothorax and 

 metathorax and the sides of the abdominal segments luteous white. 

 Antennae equal in length to the body in (S , shorter in $ ; third
