XLV.—A List of the Endomychid Coleoptera of Indo-China, 
with Descriptions of new Species. By Gitzert J. Arrow, 
F.Z.S., F.E.S. 
(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 
Amonest the extensive collections of Coleoptera from the 
province of Tonkin and the Upper Mekong River sent to me 
by Monsieur R, Vitalis de Salvaza, who has so greatly increased 
our knowledge of the insect fauna of that region, is an 
important series belonging to the beautiful and interesting 
fungus-feeding family Endomychide, a very large proportion 
of which were previously unknown and are here described. 
All the types are in the British Museum, which is greatly 
indebted to the collector for this valuable addition to tle 
collection. , 
Up to the present time not more than two or three species 
of Endomychide in all have been recorded from Indo-China, 
although Gorham’s enumeration of those found in Burma, 
published in the Annals of the Genoa Museum for 1896 
(vol. xxxvi.), amounts to twenty-nine. This number is 
exceeded in the list which follows, which includes no less 
than seventeen species hitherto entirely unknown. 
Spathomeles decoratus, Gerst. This striking insect is 
abundant at Luang Prabang on the Upper Mekong.
