forming costae. The front tibia is armed with three acute 

 teeth, the uppermost placed about the middle, nearer to the 

 second tlian that is to the first, and separated from it by an 

 acute notch. The longer claws of the front and middle feet 

 are cleft, and the shorter claw of the hind foot more than 

 half as long as the larger one. The antennse are 10-jointed, 

 joints 3-7 progressively dim.inishing in length. 



(J . The pygidium is very convex and rather thickly 

 clothed with erect hair. 



? . Tiie pygidium is flat and scarcely pubescent. 

 This species has a very close resemblance to A. celogaster', 

 but the remarkable abdominal processes which form the most 

 distinctive feature of that insect are entirely absent from 

 this. It is also rather more short and rotund, and still paler 

 in colour, and the elytra are smoother, with finer punctures. 



LXX. — On the Burmese Species of Ruteh'ne Coleoptera 

 belonging to the Genus Adoretus. By GiLBiiUT J.

(Published by permission of the Trustees of the JJritisli Museum.) 



In the Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, for September 1912 I 

 puljlished descriptions of a series of new species of the genus 

 Anomala from Burma. The present paper supplements that 

 one by a similar series of species belonging to the allied 

 genus Adoretus, found mainly in the same localities by the 

 same collectors. The types of all are in the British Museum, 

 and co-types are in the Genoa Museum, the Berlin Entomo- 

 logical Museum, and the collection of iMr. II. E. Andiewes. 



The following list includes all the species of Aduretus at 

 present known to me to inhabit Burma, with the exception of 

 a few of which the specimens yet available are insufficient 

 f(n- the adequate investigation of their characters. For this 

 the male is, in my opinion, absolutely essential. The species 

 will be more fully dealt with in the ' Eauna of Britisli 

 India':—
