Mon. 1853, p. 190, t. 4, fig. 31. 

 This species is very abundant throughout the Eastern Archi- 

 pelago , Ceylon , Siam and S. India. It is known from all the 

 other Hololeptini by the arched sulcus on the central segment 

 of the abdomen. There are over 100 specimens in the present 

 collection from Birmania, Bhamò, Shwegoo-Myo, and Tenasse- 

 rim, Thagathà. 



5. Plaesius laevis, Lewis, Ent. Mon. Mag. XVI, 1879, nr. 184, 



p. 76. 



This species was first found in Assam. The thorax has a 

 lateral interstice which is much wider (especially in the middle) 

 than the other species , and the stria following the anterior 

 border of the mesosternum is really a very deep sulcus; this 

 is a very remarkable character. 



A single example of this very distinct species was taken at 

 Bhamò in Birmania in August 1885. 



6. Apobletes schaumi, Mars. Mon. 1860, p. 857, t. 2, nr. 10, fig. 4. 

 Signor Fea found this not commonly in Birmania, Teinzò and 



Bhamò, also in Tènasserim, at Thagatà and Houngdarau Valley. 

 It was originally described from Birma, and it occurs also in 

 the Andaman Islands. 



7. Apobletes Gestroi, n. sp. 



Ovalis, depressus, ferrugineus nitidus; antennis pedibusque rufis; 

 fronte punctulata depressa» stria supra oculos elevata, antice utrinque 

 interrupta; pronoto laleribus punctulato, stria integra pone oculos 

 leviter sinuata; elytris striis 1-3 integra, 4-5 apicalibus posticis, 

 margine anguste punctulatis; propygidio rugose punctato; pygidio 

 immarginato utrinque valde foveolato apice laevi; prosterno haud 

 striato, lobo punctulato marginato. Long. 2 l / 2 mill. 



This species is about the size of mysolicus Mars., but propor- 

 tionally broader and similar to foveipygus Mars, in the form of 

 the pygidium and in its colour.
