60 ZONOPTERUS PERVERSUS. 
NOTE VI. 
ZONOPTERUS PERVERSUS, N. SP. 
DESCRIBED BY 
C. RITSEMA Cz. 
Among a number of 16 specimens of the Longicorn genus 
Zonopterus Hope, originating from Theinzeik (Burma), 
which, superficially regarded, appeared to belong to one 
and the same species, viz. flavitarsis Hope, I detected by 
a more careful examination two specimens, which, no 
doubt, ought to be separated from the other as a distinct, 
not yet described species, for which I propose the name 
Zonopterus perversus. 
The principal characters by which this species is dif- 
ferentiated from flavitarsis are the following : 
Antennae much more slender and having the 5 basal 
joints black, the 6th and 7th stamed at the base with 
fuscous; in flavitarsis the 4 basal joints and the base of 
the 5th are black. 
Head, prothorax and scutellum bronze. 
The pubescence on the elytra less dense, which makes 
the derm better visible and slightly shining. 
The elytral epipleurae luteous along their whole length ; 
not black on the spots where the elytra are black, viz. 
at the base, in the middle and at the end, as in flavitarsis. 
Finally the steelblue abdomen in the male (the 6th 
segment only is rufous), whereas in flavitarsis the abdomen 
of the male is red, that of the female steelblue. 
Hab. Burma: Theinzeik (P. Loizeau). — Two males, 
one long 27 mm., the other 21 mm. The larger specimen 
is in the collection of Mr. René Oberthür, the smaller one 
in the Leyden Museum.
