HISTERIDAE FROM BURMA 17 



others are species which occupy themselves differently. Mister 

 stenocephalus has a head formed very much like the head of a 

 species of Nolodoma, a histerid which hunts for small larvae in 

 fungi, and this structure seems to indicate similar habits as no 

 one is likely to pronounce these correspondences to be mere 

 coincidences. 



The highest altitude recorded here is 1500 metres which is 

 equivalent to 4920 english feet, and at this height, in and near 

 the tropics where there are forests, perhaps the most interesting 

 insect-fauna exists that is known to naturalists. The two col- 

 lections of Signor Fea taken together form a vahiable series 

 as they give a very fair insight into the character of the species 

 of a large district which until recently has been almost untou- 

 ched and as Tenasserim, Pegu and Karen are places that cannot 

 be regarded apart from a faunistic stand point, I have given 

 at the end of this paper a systematic list of all the species 

 referred to in the memoir of 1888, and in the present paper. 

 The species altogether amount to 90 of which about half are 

 new species, discoveries of Signor Fea, and the others are 

 Asiatic species previously known from adjacent places. There 

 are five species represented by single examples which are in- 

 cluded in this estimate and which appear in the list of species, 

 but three or four were left over in the first collection and of 

 these I have not kept an account. 



When no reference to a species is given here it will be found 

 in Part I.
