HISPIDAE FROM BURMA 661 



latioribus, incrassatis; striis apicem versus aequidistantibus et in- 

 terspatiis magis distincte elevatis. Long. 3 l / 2 Un. 



Mas. Tibiis anticis intus ante apicem dente conico armatis. 

 Var. ? Corpore toto fulvo. 



Hab. Burmah : Bhamò. Tenasserim : Thagatà. 



The above species, of which I only know two specimens, so 

 closely resembles D. Gestroi that it will be only necessary to 

 point out the distinctive differences; it is larger in size, its tho- 

 rax is distinctly although slightly broader, whilst the elytra are 

 more strongly punctured , the rows being nearly aequidistant 

 below the middle; all the interspaces on the hinder .half of the 

 surface are distinctly elevated. 



20. Dcrwnesia picea, n. sp. 



Elongata, subcylindrica, picea, nitida, antennis tarsisque nigris, 

 abdomine piceo- fulvo ; thorace subquadrato, lateribus a basi fere 

 ad apicem rectis, parallelis; disco modice convexo, minute subremote 

 punctato; elytris profunde striato-punctatis, stria externa medio late 

 obsoleta, interspatiis primo, tertio quintoque costatis. Long. 3 Un. 



Hab. Burmah: Teinzò, May 1886, a single specimen. 



Head smooth, impunctate; antennae slightly thickened towards 

 the apex, not exceeding the head and thorax in length. Thorax 

 subquadrate , scarcely longer than broad ; sides straight and 

 parallel from the base nearly to the apex, thence converging 

 towards the latter; above moderately convex, deflexed at the 

 apex, finely and subremotely punctured. Elytra mora than three 

 times the length of the thorax, parallel, dilated posteriorly, 

 their apices conjointly regularly rounded; each elytron with 

 seven rows of large deeply impressed punctures, the middle of 

 the outer row obsolete ; at the extreme apex next the suture 

 are faint traces of an eighth row; the suture together with the 

 first , third and fifth interspaces , strongly elevated.
