KHAPHUMA. 273 



colour the inner baud at a short distance from the suture and not 

 extended quite to the base in front, the outer band passes over 

 the shoulder right up to the base ; a narrow, dark brown, circumflex 

 band, followed by a small spot, between these bands and the apex ; 

 antenna? and legs testaceous. Antennae reach nearly to the apex 

 of the elytra in the c? , to the apical fourth in the 2 ; third 

 and a few of the following joints setose posteriorly at the apex, 

 the third much longer than the first. Prothorax subcylindrical, 

 slightly rounded at the sides, narrowed and marked with a trans- 

 verse groove at the base. Elytra scarcely wider than the middle 

 of the prothorax, dentate at the outer angles of the truncate apex. 

 Hind femora extended past the apex of the elytra. First joint of 

 hind tarsi twice as long as the next two joints united. 



Length 10-15 ; breadth 2-3 mm.

321. Khaphuma phiale, sp. n. 



Black, densely covered with yellow pubescence ; prothorax with 

 two short, longitudinal, black bands on the disc. Elytra marked 

 each with two longitudinal black bands on the anterior third 

 one extending straight back from the shoulder, the other along 

 the inner half of the disc ; a large transverse black spot at the 

 middle, an oblique, somewhat curved spot at one-fourth from the 

 apex and a small marginal spot, sometimes wanting, just before 

 the apex ; the two anterior bands are united transversely behind, 

 and the inner band is sometimes joined transversely just pos- 

 terior to the scutellum with the corresponding band of the other 

 elytron ; the median transverse spot reaches from the outer margin 

 almost to the suture, it is prolonged in front and posteriorly at its 

 outer end ; the lateral margins narrowly black. Antennas and 

 legs blackish, somewhat densely covered with greenish-grey pubes- 

 cence. The antennae extend to the apical fourth of the elytra in 

 the c? 5 to the apical third in the $ . Prothorax subcylindrical, 

 a little rounded in the middle, densely punctate at each side in the 

 (3" , the punctate area divided anteriorly by a narrow impunctate 

 band. Elytra more than three times as long as their width at the 

 base, transversely truncate at the apex. Last ventral segment of 

 c? with a somewhat triangular, glabrous, excavation at the apex, 

 its hind margin acutely pointed in the middle ; last segment of $ 

 longer, not excavated, rounded at the apex. The hind femora 

 reach to the apex of the elytra in the 2 , a little beyond it in the 

 <$ . First joint of hind tarsi twice as long as the second and third 

 united. 



Length 12-14 ; breadtJi 2|-3 mm. 



Hob. Burma : Karen Mts. (Doherty}. 



This species somewhat closely resembles E. 7iorsfieldii,*White, in 

 form, colour and markings ; but the prothoracic black bands are 

 broader and not raised, the anterior two elytral bands are much
