 Goebel, Faun. Birm., p. 74; Chaud., Monogr. des Brach., p. 24. 



Malewoon (Tenasserim). One example only. 



The metropolis of this variable species appears to be Cochin 

 China where it is apparently common and very inconstant in 

 the black markings of the upper surface.

Bhamò. 



This fine species answers with singular exactness to Schmidt- 

 Goebel's description, as far as colours and sculpture are con- 

 cerned, to his B. {Aptinus) melancholicus. But it differs in being 

 furnished with wings and the elytra consequently being broad 

 at the base and with distinct shoulders ; in short it has no 

 resemblance of form to the genus Aptinus. 



341. Brachinus concinnus, n. sp. 



B. tetragammo (Chaud.) affinis , elytris breviter oblongo-ovatis. 

 Flavus, elytris olivaceo- vel violaceo-nigris fulvo-pubescentibus 

 opacis , macula (vel fascia) transversa mediana inter strias 2 et 

 marginem apud 6.**°^ plus minusve interrupta, alteraque apicali 

 (apicem suturalem vix attingenti) flavo-testaceis, margine laterali, 

 epipleuris (prope basin excepto) corporeque subtus toto flavo- 

 testaceis. Caput impunctatum, thorax capite angustior, laevis vel 

 parum conspicue punctato-pubescens , antico parum rotundatus 

 postico leviter angustatus, prope basin sinuatus, angulis posticis 

 rectis. Elytra late baud profunde striata, interstitiis obtuse con- 

 vexis, minute granulatis. — Long. 7 millim. 



Senmigion; Myenkyan; Rangoon. 



The smoothness or punctuation of the thorax seems to be a 

 variable character in this species.

A B. tdracolon (Chaud.) et affinibus differt thorace nigro-fusco.
