HISTERIDAE FROM BURMA 25 



are strongly tridentate, margined on exterior surface with a 

 fine stria, the stria follows the course of the dentations, poste- 

 rior tibiae have a double row of spines. 



Hah. Garin Asciuii Gheba 1200-1300 feet. 



One example only. This species is not similar to any other 

 I know, but it is somewhat like E. duplicatus Mars.

Hah. Garin Asciuii Ghecù 1400-1500 m. Occurs also in Ghina.

 This species has a very distinct thoracic fovea before the scu- 



tellum, the fore-tibiae has the outer edge semicircular and armed 

 with 16 to 18 evenly set teeth, but they are rather closer at 

 the base than nearer the tarsi. The meso- and metasterna are 

 bordered with a crenulate stria and I think the bent short stria 

 at the basejof the elytra is an appendage to the fourth not to 

 the fifth stria. This is shown to be the case in the long series 

 of Hister indicus Lew. which Signor Fea was fortunate enough 

 to secure. The author of the species has, with his habitual cour- 

 tesy, lent me the type and I find as far as the front tibiae are 

 concerned it is somewhat abraded. The punctures on the pro- 

 pygidium and pygidium are of various sizes, and the elytral 

 striae are a little crenulate. 

 Hah. Garin Gheba 900-1100 m.
