A. mauritanico (Dej.) similis, sed multo major epistomateque 

 latius et multo minus profunde arcuatim emarginato etc. Viri- 

 descenti-niger sericeo-nitidus, antennis articulis 1-2, palpis apice, 

 pedibusque rufo-testaceis. Caput latum, ante oculos breve, ob- 

 tusum. Thorax capite parum latior, valde transversus, postice 

 paullo magis quam antice angustatus, lateribus (praecipue antice) 

 rotundatis , angulis posticis rotundatis vix distinctis. Elytra 

 oblonga, versus apicem perparum ampliata, apice valde obtusa 

 fere truncata, sinuata ; sat acute striata, interstitiis fere planis, 3.^° 

 juxta striam 2."^'" prope apicem unipunctato. — Long. 7 millim. 



Rangoon ; Mandalay. 



Agrees fairly v^ell as to form and colour of the legs and 

 antennae with the description of A. flavipeSj Motsch., but the 

 colours of the upper and under surface of the body are quite 

 different.

 {Hispalisj id.). 



Rangoon; Palon (Pegu). 



Very similar to A. magnus, but smaller and more slender, 

 the head and thorax especially being narrower, and differing 

 constantly in the tibiae and tarsi being pale testaceous the fe- 

 mora alone brassy-brown. The exterior striae (6-7) are sometimes 

 nearly obsolete. In these characters it fits very well the brief 

 description given by Motschulsky of his .4. femoralis. The species 

 comes exceedingly close to A. metallescem Dej. The length is 

 3 1/2 -4 1/2 millim. 



162. Amblystomus fuscescens, Motsch., Etud. Ent., 1858, p. 23. 

 Bhamò. 



Motschulsky gives Burma as the locality of the species, our 

 examples agree fairly well with his description, if we may al- 

 low two misprints in the phrase " la base des antennes et des 

 (les?) cuisses testacée(s?) " a not unreasonable allowance as 

 his diagnosis says " Corpore subtus, ore, palpis pedibusque plus 

 minusve testaceis. " The length is 4 millim.
