 palpus, id.). 



Rangoon. 



One example (4 y^ millim.) differing in no respect from Indian 

 specimens of A. vulneratus, except the smaller size and rather 

 narrower thorax. 



166. Amblystomus indicus, Nietner, Ann. et Mag. N. H. (3) II, 

 p. 428 (1858) {Megaristerus id.) \ = A. quadrigultatus, Motsch. 

 Etud. Ent., 1858, p. 24 {Hispalis, id.). 



Palon (Pegu). Also Ceylon and Bengal. 



Two examples agreeing well with Nietner's description and 

 with examples from Bengal. The sinuation of the epistome is 

 strongly asymmetrical and distorted. The anterior yellow spot 

 of the elytra is, as Nietner states, oblique; it is mucli larger 

 than in any examples of A. tetrastigma that I have seen and 

 extends over interstices 4-7, the posterior spot is also large ; the 

 femora are dark brown, tibiae and tarsi and two basal joints 

 of the antennae pale testaceous. The lateral striae of the elytra 

 are obliterated. — Long. 3 Yg millim. 



167. Amblystomus guttatus, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc, 1873, p. 327. 

 Palon (Pegu) ; Rangoon ; Bhamò. 



I can detect no difference between the three specimens from 

 Burma and others from Fu-chau in China, the locality of the 

 original examples of this species, except that the anterior elytral 

 spot is a little oblique instead of being small and round like 

 the posterior spot. The species (?) cannot be much more than a 

 variety of A. indicus, little difference being perceptible except 

 the wholly pale testaceous legs. The Palon examples have the 

 first two basal joints of the antennae pale testaceous like A. in- 

 dicus, in the Chinese A. guttatus the second joint is blackish 

 brown like 3-11. In some examples the head is small and the 

 epistome simply arcuated without asymmetry; this appears not 

 to be a sexual difference as it is noticeable in both sexes. — 

 Long. 3 V4-4 Ys millim.
