HISTERIDAE PROM BURMA 633 



A single specimen from the Mountains between the rivers 

 Meekalan and Kyeat, in Tenasserim, 500-1200 m. March 1887. 



8. Apobletes marginicollis, n. sp. 



Oblongo-ovatus, depressus, rufo-piceus nitìdus; fronte opaca dense 

 punctata stria supra oculos elevata, transversa sub recta; pronoto 

 lateribus late rufo vix dense punctulato , subopaco , in medio sub- 

 laevi; elytris striis 1-3 integris, 4° apicali. Propygidio utrinque 

 rugoso-punctato; pygidio grosse punctato; prosterno lato laevi ante 

 coxas bistriato ; mesosterno transverso et antice marginato. Long. 

 3 l l 2 mill. 



At present this species may be known from all others by the 

 broad rufous margins of the thorax, the opaque head etc. Unless 

 it is a type of insects yet to be discovered it will not be con- 

 founded with any other. The marginal stria of the prosternai 

 lobe is very fine. 



Three examples taken at Teinzò Birmania. May 1886. 



9. Plaiysoma maculatimi, n. sp. 



Oblongo ovatum, subdepressum , nigro nitidum; fronte laeviter 

 impressa,, stria recta; pronoto laevi stria integra et basi continuata; 

 elytris late luteo-maculatis , tenue striatis , striis 1-3 integris, 4-5 

 in medio abbreviatis suturali nulla; prosterno haud striato, lobo 

 punctato; mesosterno laeviter emarginato, stria marginali integra; 

 pygidio utrinque foveolato, transversim punctato. Long. 4 mill. 



This is the first maculate species of the genus discovered. The 

 yellow band occupies half the length of each elytron, leaving 

 a narrow black band at the base and a slightly broader margin 

 at the suture, posteriorly the band is dentate at the second 

 stria. The propygidium is transversely and irregularly punctate, 

 the pygidium is deeply and somewhat widely foveolate on each 

 side with the apical margin smooth and the punctures clear 

 and regular between the foveae. The anterior tibiae are some- 

 what falciform with 4 or 5 small teeth on their outer edge. 



Tenasserim, Meetan. One specimen in April 1887.
