transverse. The elytral striae correspond to those of striale Mars. 

 The ordinary mesosternal stria in Platysoma > which follows 

 the course of the anterior edge is obsolete, but in a posterior 

 position there is a clear and distinct transverse stria, shaped 

 as a bow , and this character will distinguish it from all the 

 species of Plalysoma described. 



This is another species represented by a single example ; it 

 was taken in April 1887 at Thagatà, Tenasserim.
