Karin Gheba, alt. 900-1100 m. One example. 



In the form of the palpi and other characters perfectly con- 

 generic with E. Pradieri and Leiuisii. Plochionus fenestratus^ 

 Schm.-Gb. appears to be another species of this genus. 



432. Lachnoderma (?) biguttatum, n. sp. 



Oblongo-subelongatum, parum convexum nigrum subnitidum 

 passim sed haud dense piloso-punctatum. Caput post oculos pro- 

 minentes cite angustatum, medio laeve, foveis frontalibus magnis 

 grosse rugosis ; labro apice medio elevato nee emarginato. Thorax 

 valde transversus capite cum oculis dimidio latior margine an- 

 tico subrecto angulis anticis nullis, lateribus antice late fere 

 semicirculariter rotundatis, ante basin sinuatis angulis posticis 

 exstantibus acutis; basi medio rotundato paullulum lobato, an- 

 gulos versus recto haud obliquato; margine laterali late expla- 

 nato subreflexo toto ciliato. Elytra quam in gen. Endynomena 

 longius oblonga, apice recto truncata; supra sat grosse punctato- 

 striata, interstitiis parum convexis, punctis dorsalibus nullis; 

 utrinque macula rotunda aurantiaca prope apicem inter strias 

 1-4. Tarsi supra pilosi; ungues valde curvati dimidio basali di- 

 latato et longe pectinate. Palpi maxillares apice dilatati oblique 

 truncati, labialibus latius dilatatis fere securiform ibus. Mentum 

 valide dentatura. Subtus minus dense pilosum politura abdomine 

 punctulato-strigoso. — Long. 10 raillira. 



Shwegoo. One example. 



The forra of the thorax is very similar to that of Endynomena; 

 but the dilated maxillary palpi and the form of the labrum raised 

 and arcuated in the middle of the front edge and convex down 

 the middle are the same as Lachnoderma asperum (Bates). 

 Whether or not the two species belong to Lachnoderma (Mac 

 Leay) who places it in the group Eelluoninae must remain 

 doubtful. But Chaudoir considered the genus to be allied to 

 Physodera.
