CLERIDAE FROM BURMAH 725 



{in medio fuscescentibus), pedibusque leslaceis^ femoribus libiisque 

 anticis et intermediis externe„ femoribus poslicis dimidio apicali tibiis 

 totis nigris. Long. 9 ^l^-\^ V2 '^i^^'^''^>'- 



Variai, pedibus totis pallide fulvis. 



Hab. Garin Hills, Gheba 900-1100 m. 



Head wider than the thorax, antennae with joints 3-10 

 touched with black , and the mandibles pitchy black. Thorax 

 constricted both before and behind but not strongly, the sides 

 rounded and widened between, and the front and sides rather 

 sparsely clothed with scales ; the punctuation is distinct and 

 coarse, the centre is keeled, but very little raised, but the cen- 

 tral line is smooth towards the base; on each side, upon the 

 widened part of the side, is a round fossa. The elytra are not 

 very shining, rather more than a third at the base is pale 

 fulvous, then a black fascia, then a broad fascia of white scales 

 (on a fulvous ground), then a broad black fascia, a little inden- 

 ted on both sides, and then the tips of the elytra white. The 

 base of the elytra, and two or three spots on the margin of 

 the lirst black fascia, of white scales, elytra obsoletely costate, 

 the costa running from the callus to the apex, being distinct 

 only in the middle. The punctuation of the elytra is thick, 

 distinct, and even, but not in rows anywhere. The parts usual 

 to be so in this genus underneath are clothed with white 

 scales. 



This insect is apparently allied to Lemidia {CalUmerus) dorsalis 

 Thomson [Musée sclent., p. 61] which however is unknown to 

 me, but it differs from the description in many respects.
