Hab. Mountains of Laos, Siam; collected by the late M. 
Mouhot. 
Very similar in form, sculpture and coloration to P. maculatis- 
sima; narrower than that insect, and the pattern on the elytra dif- 
ferently arranged. Antenne flavous, rather more than half the 
length of the body. Thorax narrower than in P. maculalissima, 
the two anterior grooves more strongly flexuose, and the branch 
which they send from the middle of their outer edge shorter and 
not reaching more than halfway to the lateral border; on either 
side at the base, placed just within the short longitudinal groove, 
is a large patch of coarse deeply impressed punctures. The 
elytra are punctured in a similar manner to the preceding insect, 
the strize are, however, not impressed on the anterior half of the 
surface, but are more deeply sulcate on the hinder portion, the 
interspaces (plane in front) becoming strongly convex behind;° 
the castaneous markings are chiefly congregated in masses, which 
form three large ill-defined transverse patches, placed longitudi- 
nally down the middle of the back. 
Genus Brepuaripa, Chevr. 
Blepharida Chitiensis. 
Anguste ovata, valde convexa, pailide rufo-fusca, nitida ; capite 
thoraceque fulvis; antennis (basi excepta) nigris; elytris 
fortiter punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, striis (praesertim ad 
apicem) sulcatis, vitta submarginali irregulari lata macalisque 
numerosis disci albidis.

Antenne moderately robust, half the length of the body, four 
lower joints obscure fulvous, stained above with piceous, the rest 
black; face coarsely but not closely punctured, vertex nearly 
impunctate. ‘Thorax more than twice as broad as long, sides ob- 
tusely rounded, converging in front, anterior angles produced into 
an obtuse tubercle, hinder angles rounded, nearly obsolete ; upper 
surface irregularly punctured. Elytra impressed each with eleven 
regular rows of deep piceous punctures, the first row short; rows 
distinctly but slightly suleate on the sides and towards the apex 
of the elytron, interspaces flat, obsoletely convex towards their 
apex; each elytron covered with a number of small irregular
