On comparing, however Burmese examples with those of Japan 

 I find that the former have much more produced and acute hind 

 angles to the thorax (not shown in Schmidt-Goebel's figure) and 

 a rather less dense asperate-punctuation on the elytra. The Ja- 

 panese form may be therefore distinguished as E. plagiata, var. 

 japonica.
