punctured, the punctures shallow, sides near margins nearly 

 smooth. Elytra gradually widened towards the middle, sub- 

 cylindrical, with a shallow depression below base, moderately 

 strongly punctate-striate, punctures finer towards apex, shoulders 

 rather prominent.

Differs from any of its allies in the impunctate head and system 

 of coloration.

 Ent. Belg. xxxix, 1895, p. 279. 



Blackish ; antenna;, legs and elytra flavous, sutural and lateral 

 margins and a small spot below base piceous. 



Head strongly and closely punctured, blackish, generally with 

 two obscure fulvous spots between the eves, latter with a sulcus 

 above, bounded by a distinct ridge ; clypeus not separated from the 

 face, punctured like the head, anterior margin fulvous : antennae 

 pale flavous, extending to middle of elytra. Thorax half as broad 

 again as long, subcylindrical, sides angulated near the base, obliquely 

 narrowed in front ; surface obscure blaekish-seneous, deeply and 

 closely punctured, anterior margin narrowly fulvous. Scutellum 

 piceous. Elytra wider at base than the thorax, with a shallow 

 depression below base, deeply punctate-striate, the punctures 

 piceous, sutural margins very narrowly, lateral margins more 

 broadly piceous or greenish-black, a piceous spot within basal 

 depression. 



Length 2 mm.

This small species is closely allied to P. signata, Motsch., but 

 differs in the thorax which has a distinct seneous gloss and an 

 anterior fulvous margin ; the elytra, instead of having the basal 

 portion swollen and impunctate, are in this species scarcely raised 

 and distinctly punctured, the humeral callus alone has no punc- 

 tures : the four specimens before me show no differences in these 

 respects. 



638. Pagria burmanica, sp. n. 



Fulvous : breast and abdomen black ; elytra with sutural and 

 lateral margins and a spot at the middle, piceous. 



Head impunctate; clypeus separated from the face by a transverse 

 groove, surface with a few punctures ; antennae pale fulvous, 

 terminal joints thickened ; supraocular sulci very deep. Thorax 

 about half as broad again as long, surface rather obsoletely punc- 

 tured in the middle only, margins impunctate. Elytra feebly de- 

 pressed below base, some short rows of punctures within depression,
