pronotuin is finely and evenly punctured, with the sides rounded, 

 the front angles acute, the hind angles very obtuse, and the base 

 finely margined and very feebly trisinuate. The scutellum is punc- 

 tured, and the elytra are deeply punctate-striate. The pygidium is 

 evenly and fairly closely punctured. The lower surface of the body 

 is very thinly hairy. The front tibia is strongly tridentate, the hind 

 legs are short, with the femur broad, the trochanter long and not 

 acute, the tibia broad and not inflated, nor constricted before the 

 extremity. 



d 1 . The inner anterior claw is unequally divided and the tro- 

 chanters of the hind legs are long, nearly parallel-sided and rather 

 prominent at the end. 



$ . The black sutural line is broader than in the male, the fore- 

 head has a rugose area in front, the apex of the front tibia is

BURMA : Tharrawacldy (G. Q. Corbett), Cachin Hills.

 the clypeus, pronotuin, scutellum, arid elytra, brown. 



It is smooth and shining, moderately elongate and not very 

 convex. The eyes are large, the clypeus small, densely and 

 rugosely punctured, with the front margin nearly straight; the fore- 

 head is finely and closely punctured. The pronotum is finely and 

 rather closely punctured, with the sides rounded, the front angles 

 acute,, the hind angles very obtuse and the base finely margined. 

 The scutellum is minutely punctured and each elytron bears seven 

 finely punctured and not very deeply impressed dorsal striae, the 

 second disrupted at the base ; the sutural angles are rounded. 

 The pygidium is deeply and rather rugosely punctured. The 

 front tibia is armed with three teeth, of which the uppermost is 

 very feeble, the hind tibia is very short and stout and a little 

 constricted before the end, and the longer claw of the front foot 

 only is cleft.
