large, 12 or 15 on each, and occupying half the interval, a 
similar series, widely interrupted in middle, on stria 8, and 
a smaller uninterrupted series along the marginal channel ; 
surface finely shagreened, with two irregular rows of minute 
but clearly visible punctures along each interval. Under- 
side smooth, with a few scattered punctures; prosternal 
process minutely setose at apex. 
Allied to D. indochinensis, Bates, but much brighter in 
colour, the legs dark. Head similar; prothorax less con- 
tracted behind, the hind augles less rounded, basal fovew 
smaller, puncturation not so fine; elytra with the seriate 
pores, especially on intervals 5 and 7, larger, general punc- 
turation much clearer.

The best-known and most widely spread species of the 
genus. It has been taken throughout Indo-China (Tonkin, 
Annam, Laos, and Cambodia) by Mr. Vitalis de Salvaza, 
Elsewhere it occurs in Formosa, in the large Malay islands. 
in Burma, and throughout North India. I have seen no 
Central or Southern Indian examples, except from the Nilgiri 
Hills (H. L. Andrewes). here is in the British Museum 
an example taken at Anuradhapura in Ceylon (Dr. W. 
Horn). 
Dioryche indochinensis, Bates, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1889, 
p. 270; Andr. Trans. Ent. Soe. Lond. 1921, p. 177. 
This species is recorded from various parts of Cochin- 
China and Cambodia, and, thanks to Mr. E. Fleutiaux, I 
have been able to examine the type; Mr. Vitalis de Salvaza 
has taken it at Vientiane in Laos. Bates mentions it as 
having been captured by Mr. L. Fea at Rangoon, and the 
late Mr. G. Q. Corbett also found it in Burma at Shwegyin 
and Tharrawaddy. There are specimens in the British 
Museum from ‘“ Mountains, Tenasserim, Siam border”? and 
from South Siam (H. Way).
