Kobo, 400 ft., and Sadiya (N.-E. Assam), in rotten wood and 

 under bark. Man}^ examples. 



The examples from Sadi3^a have a very little tubercle on the 

 front. In many specimens the tubercle is completely evanescent. 



Occurs in India and the Malayan Archipelago. 



Trypeticus nemorivagus, Lew. 

 Lew., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6), ix, 1892, p. 351. 



Rotung, 1400 ft., under bark. 



The single example (a') does not exactly agree with Lewis's 

 description. The marginal stria of the pronotum becomes obsolete 

 towards the edge. The prosternum is not so roughly punctate. 

 Without the female it is not possible to say certainly whether 

 it is iieniorivagus or a new species. 



The type of nemorivagus was found near the Ruby Mines in 

 Burma.
