typical form (as regards the median fascia) from Ceylon and 

 the var. ambiguus appears to be common in Assam.

 p 75. 



Bhamò; Karin Gheba, alt. 900-1100 m. 



Exhibits the same range of variety in markings as P. fusci- 

 colliSj, the median fascia of the elytra being narrow and zigzag 

 or broader and less dentate, while the thorax, normally with two 

 yellow vittae is sometimes wholly black. In all its varieties the 

 species is distinguishable by its elongate and nearly parallel- 

 sided thorax. It is found also in Assam. The P. stenoderus, 

 Chaud. is almost certainly the same species, as the describer 

 himself indicated. 



336. Pheropsophus picicoHis, Chaud., Monogr. des Brach., p. 34. 

 Bhamò; Karin Chebà, alt. 900-1100 m. ; Palon (Pegu). 

 Recorded from Rangoon and Siam by Chaudoir. It occurs 



also in Assam. Bhamò examples agree closely with those from 

 Assam, but those from Karin Chebà recede somewhat from the 

 type form in the sides of the neck as w^ell as the lateral margin 

 of the forehead and episteme being yellow and in the anterior 

 part of the epipleurae having no trace of yellow streak.

 Moulmein. One example. 



338. Pheropsophus agnatus, Chaud. Monogr. des Brach., p. 33. 

 Teinzò; Malewoon (Tenasserim). 



The two examples agree with numerous individuals with 

 which I have compared them from Fu-chau, Hong Kong and 

 Formosa, and with Chaudoir's description made from a specimen 

 from Chusan. The only difference I remark is that the black 

 spot of the vertex is not narrowed behind to a point; but it 

 differs much in the two specimens. The species is found also at 

 Sarawak.
