XII. COLEOPTERA, V: ANTHRIBIDAE. 



By Dr. K. Jordan. 



Only 6 specimens belonging to four species were obtained by 

 Mr. Kemp during the Abor Expedition. In the list given below 

 13 more specimens are enumerated, 2 being from Lower Burma, 

 collected by Mr. F. H. Gravely, and the other 11 from the 

 Lakhimpur district, obtained by Mr. H. Stevens. None of the 

 species are new. We know as yet a very small percentage of the 

 Anthribidae existing in Northern India and Burma. Judging 

 from the number of species described from vSouthern India and the 

 Malay Peninsula we may expect the family to be represented b}'' 

 an abundance of species in the wooded hill- tracts of Burma and 

 Assam , and in the foot-hills of the Himalayas from North-East 

 Assam and Bhutan westward. 



1. Acorynus carinifrons, Jord. (1895). 



2 & & from Dejoo, North Lakhimpur (base of hills), Upper 

 Assam, 2g-vi and 7-vii-i9io {H. Stevens). 



The species is only known to us from the Khasi Hills in Assam, 

 where it appears to be fairly abundant. 



2. Litocerus khasianus, Jord, (1903). 



2 2 9 from Dejoo, 26-vi-i9io {H. Stevens). 

 Likewise only known to us from the Khasi Hills. 



3. Litocerus paviei, Lesne (1891). 



I (f from Kobo, Abor Expedition, 1400 ft., i-xii-1911, in 



rotten wood {Kemp). 

 I cr* from Kawkareik, Amherst district, Lower Burma, 19 — 



20-xii-i9ii, under bark of fallen tree [F . H. Gravely). 



4. Mecocerus allectus maculatus, Jord. (1894). 



I cf from Thingannyinaung to Sukli, Dawna Hills, Lower 

 Burma, 900-2100 ft., 23 — 27-xi-i9ii (F. H. Gravely). 



This form appears to be restricted to Burma. We have it 

 from the Ruby Mines, Charin Cheba.
