HISTERIDAE FROM BURMA 35 



47. Paromalus musculus, Mars., Ann. France 1873, p. 225. 



There is a single female specimen in this collection which I 

 am unable to separate from the Japanese species. The Par ornali 

 allied to the above, which belong to a section of the genus 

 which are oval and convex and have an ante-scutellar impres- 

 sion, burrow under stones in shady places and are not of sub- 

 cortical habits like most of their congeners. P. victor. Mars., 

 leo. Mars, and mus. Mars, belong to this section of the genus. 



Hab. Garin Gheba 900-1100 m. 



48. Triballus cyclonotus, n. sp. 



Circularise niger nitidus, supra grosse et conspicue punctatus; 

 fronte in medio parum excavata, antice prominula; antennis pedi- 

 husque picei s. Long. 2 Y4 tnill. 



Nearly circular in outline, convex, black shining; head thorax 

 and elytra with variolose punctures thickly set ; head with a 

 little excavation between the antennae and a nodulose excre- 

 scence in front of it ; thorax , stria anteriorly complete but at 

 the sides it is merged in the margin which is slightly raised; 

 elytra are also slightly raised laterally, the epipleura is smooth 

 and shining, one dorsal stria, probably the fourth, is faintly 

 visible and is arched inwards towards the scutellum ; the pro- 

 pygidium and pygidium bear smaller punctures than the elytra. 

 The presternum is coarsely and roughly punctured and the 

 striae are not well-defined. The mesosternal transverse stria is 

 straight and crenulate and the sternal plates more sparsely 

 punctured. The legs are pitchy red. The species does not closely 

 resemble any other, but it can. be placed near T. Ogieri, Mars, 

 in the catalogue, as the dorsal punctuation of that species some- 

 what approaches it in form.

 tus; fronte antice impressa; pronoto, stria laterali obsoleta; elytris.
