Karin Gheba, alt. 900-1100 m. 



One example, agreeing perfectly with the above-cited de- 

 scription. Chaudoir was very far wrong (Bull. Mosc, 1876, p. 25) 

 in supposing this species to be the same as A. fasciatus. It is 

 much smaller, narrower and less convex, and the elytra are obli- 

 quely and rectilinearly truncated at the apex, not sinuated or 

 flexuous-truncated as in A. fasciatus. The surface of the elytra is 

 not sericeoQS-opake but slightly shining. 



Subfamily COPTODERINAE. 



377. Brachichila rugulipennis, n. sp. 



B. hypocritae (Chaud.) valde affinis et similis, at differt ely- 

 trorum interstitiis transversim rugulosis. Elongato-ovata piceo- 

 fusca parum nitida, palpis, antennis, pedibus, thorace margine 

 laterali elytrisque utrinque maculis rotundatis duabus (l.'"^ sub- 

 humerali inter strias 3.^^"^ et S."^^™ , 2."^^^ subapicali inter su- 

 turam et striam 4.*^^'") aurantiaco-flavis , epipleuris piceo-rufis. 

 Caput et thorax subtilissime alutacea subopaca, ilio breviter 

 ovato oculis mediocriter prominentibus , laeve frontis margine 

 absque striis, hoc pauUo transverso medio angulatim mediocriter 

 dilatato, postice leviter sinuato angulis posticis rectis (sed apice 

 rotundatis) margine laterali explanato-reflexo et sat late auran- 

 tiaco. Elytra ovata sat convexa punctulato-striata interstitiis un- 

 dique convexis sat nitidis transversim striatis, 3.^° conspicue tri- 

 punctato (puncto 1.™° prope basin, 2."^° post medium, 3.^° paullo 

 ante apicem). — Long. 6-7 millim. 



Thagatà (Tenasserim) ; Palon (Pegu). 



The only other species known {B. hypocrita, Chaud.) from 

 Hong Kong is described by Chaudoir has having the elytral 

 interstices " trés finement chagrinés s'applanissant en arrière " 

 with only one dorsal puncture near the apex. In nearly all 

 other respects B. rugulipennis corresponds with his description.
