CARA BID AE FROM BURMA 383 



call nigro-aeneo. Caput post oculos late tumidum, conlluenter 

 punctatum, media fronte longitudinaliter paullo elevata et fere 

 laevi. Thorax sicut in D. mandihulari lateribus rotundato-expla- 

 natis, margineque denticulato, versus basin citius sinuatim angu- 

 status, densissime confluenter-punctatus. Elytra basi quam in 

 D. mandihulari conspicue angustiora, postico sat ampliata, late 

 striata striisque transversim punctatis, interstitiis convexis, angu- 

 stioribus medio laevibus. — Long. 13 millim.

There is one example only of this fine and apparently distinct 

 species, which has no very near ally, as far as I know, except 

 the Bornean D. mandihularis. Compared with a single example 

 of this latter (received from Banjermassin) it is clearly distinct 

 in the dark brassy-blueish black colour of the body (above and 

 beneath) and the legs, the palpi and antennae (apical half of 

 scape excepted) being tawny-reddish, the mandibles and other 

 parts of the mouth being piceous-black. The thorax is rather 

 more broadly rounded than in C. mandibular is and more abruptly 

 narrowed near the base, and the elytra less quadrate-oblong, 

 with the interstices narrower more elevated and smooth down the 

 middle, the sides only having each an irregular row of punctures.

One example only; agreeing perfectly with the description 

 above-cited except in its rather larger size, and the black colour 

 of the apex of the femora extending to the tibiae and tarsi. If 

 it were not for the broader, densely-punctured elytral interstices 

 I should have been inclined to consider it a variety of D. Feae, 

 the form of the head and thorax being precisely the same as 

 in that species.
