197. Anoplogenius patinalis, n. sp. 



A. alacri (Dej.) similis, sed differt thoracis angulis posticis 

 omnino rotundatis marginibusque prope angulos alte reflexis. 

 Nigro-fuscus nitidus, elytris subopalescenti bus, thorace elytrisque 

 limbo laterali (interdum anguste) interstitiis 5-8 apice, capite 

 antico partibus oris antennis basi pedibusque fulvo-testaceis ; 

 abdomine plus minusve fulvo-testaceo. Epistema angulis anticis 

 (sicut in caeteris Anoplogeniis) prominulis. Thorax quam in 

 A. alacre angustior, supra prope angulos posticos concavus, 

 fovea utrinque basali profundiore fere laevi, sulculo antero-mar- 

 ginali profunde impresso integro. Elytra oblonga, apice vix si- 

 nuata, profunde striata, interstitiis parum convexis, 1-4 versus 

 apicem angustatis, 3.'° unipunctato. Palpi articulo apicali fere 

 cylindrico, perparum ovato, apice truncate, d^ Tarsi 4 antici

Bhamò; Toungoo. Two male examples. 



Probably nearest allied to A. discophorus (Chaud.) of Northern 

 India; but differing greatly in form of the thorax from that 

 implied by Chaudoir's too brief description. Instead of being 

 shorter and broader than in A. alacer^ the thorax is much nar- 

 row^er and relatively longer and the sides are rounded to the 

 base with the margin gradually and greatly elevated. In .4. ala- 

 cer the hind angles are distinct, though obtuse, the margins but 

 little elevated and the basal area punctured.

Mandalay ; Toungoo; Rangoon; Shwegoo; Palon (Pegu). 

 Inhabits also Ceylon and Cambodia. 



Small examples of this species (6 Ya millim.) agree in size
