Karin Asciuii Ghecù alt. 1400-1500 m. ; Karin Gheba 900- 

 1100 m. ; Tikekee (Pegu); Thagata and Meetan (Tenasserim). 



The upper surface is black, the elytra with a transverse basal 

 spot between the 2."'^ stria and the shoulders, and the suturai 

 interstice from base to apex, red. In some examples, more or 

 less immature, the thorax is red and the suturai red is suf- 

 fused more or less over the surface of the elytra. The latter 

 have the four inner striae more or less distinct, though broad 

 and not sharply impressed. The frontal sulci are longer and 

 broader than in other species, but shallow and in them is visi- 

 ble the usual sharp stria curving from the epistome to the inner 

 margin of the eye, the sides of the forehead near the eye having 

 a narrow obtuse carina. The species is widely distributed in 

 Japan, under the bark of trees. The size varies from 3 to 4 

 millim.

Two specimens, agreeing perfectly with others I have, exa- 

 mined from Geylon and Hong Kong. I have not seen any from 

 Borneo, the locality whence the specimens originally described 

 were obtained.
