of the disk. Elytra deep black, with a faint velvety black pube- 

 scence, strongly punctured from the base as far as the anterior 

 border of a pale yellow transverse band, which is situated partly 

 in front of but mostly behind the middle, and which gradually 

 narrows from the suture to the external margins. The outer 

 spines at the apices a little longer than the sutural. The legs and 

 under side of the body yellowish testaceous, with a faint ochraceous 

 pubescence. Middle tibiae somewhat longitudinally sinuate towards 

 the base, but without any trace of a groove. 



Two female specimens in the collection. 



Glenea modica, n. s. 

 Capite prothoraceque supra fusco-nigris, lateraliter albo-flavis ; 

 elytris fusco-nigris cum parte basali et fascia transversa ante 

 apicem, luteo-pubescentibus ; apicibus truncatis, spinis suturalibus 

 minutis, spinis externis vahdis. Long. ^ 10, ? 13| mm. 



Hab. Burmah. 



Front of the head sparsely punctured, with a pubescence faint 

 and greyish in the middle, closer and yellowish white at the sides, 

 and continuous below with the yellowish white pubescence on the 

 cheeks. Prothorax brownish black above, with a yellowish white 

 pubescence at the sides, which gradually extends higher up from 

 before backwards, and, towards the base, becomes visible from 

 above. Elytra with their declivous sides entirely dark brown, 

 with the basal part of the disk, for nearly half its length, covered 

 with a close buff pubescence, and with a similarly coloured trans- 

 verse band at some distance from the apex. The latter truncate 

 and spined, with the outer spines very strong, the sutural spines 

 minute. The sides of the first four abdominal segments and two 

 spots on the fifth yellowish white. Legs yellowish testaceous. 

 Antennae black. 



This species has a close general resemblance to 

 G. udetera, Thoms., and other allied species, from which 

 it may be distinguished by the close buff pubescence 

 covering the anterior part of the disk of the elytra, and 

 almost wholly concealing the punctures on that part. 

 The posterior border of this area is strongly convex 

 behind.
