sulcation, impressed with a few punctures; there are however 
only two specimens before me, and I am unable to say, whether 
this is always the case. 
Aenidea violaceipennis n. sp. 
Fulvous or flavous, thorax impunctate, deeply foveolate, elytra 
with basal depression, violaceous-blue, extremely minutely and 
subremotely punctured. 
G. Head deeply excavated in front, palpi strongly widened, 
antennæ with the intermediate joints curved. 
Length 21/2-3 lines. 
Head impunctate, the entire lower portion deeply excavate, 
the interior ot the excavation furnished with two upper and two 
lower laminæ or flattened plates, penultimate joint of the palpi 
enormously dilated, the antennæ fulvous, nearly as long as the 
entire body, the basal joint long, gradually thickened, the second 
extremely short; the following joints all slightly curved, the 
terminal ones thinner, thorax one half broader than long, the 
sides slightly narrowed at the base, but little rounded in front, 
the surface deeply transversely sulcate, impunctate, flavous, the 
sulcation not extending to the sides, scutellum triangular, 
flavous, elytra with a rather deep depression below the base, 
dark violaceous-blue, the surface very finely granulate and 
minutely punctured, when seen under a strong lens, underside 
and legs fulvous, the first joint of the posterior tarsi much longer 
than the following joints, anterior coxal cavities closed. 
ab. Toungoo. 
This species is closely allied to A. barbata Baly from Assam 
but differs in not having the intraocular space swollen, as in that 
species, the head is also differently structured in regard to the 
excavation, as well as the antennæ, and the elytra are of different 
colour. The female is unknown to me. 
Aenidea truncatipennis n. sp. 
Elongate, parallel, fulvous, the antennæ, the apex of the tibiæ 
and the tarsi black, thorax obsoletely biimpressed, elytra metallic 
blue or green, finely and closely punctured, abdomen bluish 
black. 
Var. Above and below pale fulvous, with a slight metallic hue, 
antennæ more or less fulvous. 
G'+ Head deeply excavated, the clypeus extending inwards in 
shape of a short projection fringed with hairs, the interior of the 
cavity with two elongate processes. 
Length 2 1/2-3 lines.
