420. Blechrus exilis, Schmidt-Goebel , Faun. Birm., p. 42. 

 Bhamò ; Rangoon. 



One example agreeing exactly with the above cited-description. 

 It is a much smaller insect (2 V4 millim =:: 1 lin. Schm.-Gb.) 

 the thorax distinctly narrower and the elytra and legs tawny- 

 brown. The head is rapidly narrowed behind the eyes as in 

 B. inconspicuus. In two others (one from Bhamò and one from 

 Rangoon) the head is gradually narrowed behind the eyes and 

 the elytra are darker, but still slightly piceous with a strong 

 brassy tinge ; I can detect very little difference, except the nar- 

 rower thorax between these examples and B. mauritanicus (Luc.) 

 from Algiers and Morocco. 



421. Celaenephes parallelus, Schmidt-Goebel , Faun. Birm., 

 p. 78, t. II, f. 5. 



Tenasserim. 



A widely-distributed insect in the Malayan and Australasian 

 Regions — Siam, Malacca, Perak, Cambodia, Sumatra, Borneo, 

 New Caledonia. 



422. Dromoceryx angularis, Schmidt-Goebel, Faun. Birm., p. 41. 

 Plapoo (Tenasserim). One example ; agreeing very well with 



the description. 



The form of the thorax of the two species included by Schmidt- 

 Goebel in Dromoceryx , appears to be very different. That of 

 D. angularis is transverse-quadrate, with the base on each side 

 strongly sinuate and oblique, the middle of the base forming a 

 short lobe, as in Metahlelus from which Dromoceryx can scarcely 

 be separated generically. 



Subfamily DROMIINAE
