CLERIDAE FROM BURMAH 731 



I am not sure about the identification of this insect. It is 

 not an Opilo, but will enter into my genus Orthrius.

The type of White's insect is in my collection. It is appa- 

 rently a true Opilo, but the middle tibiae have an acute short 

 spine on the outside near their apex, a character unnoticed by 

 the describer. It has also been met with by Doherty.

Head black, palpi, two joints of the antennae, mouth and la- 

 brum pale red, third joint of the antennae pitchy, from the sixth 

 joint to the tenth they are gradually increased in width and 

 become more acuminate internally, the terminal joint is oblong 

 and a little falcate. Prothorax rather large and massive, not so 

 strongly constricted in front as it is in T. javanica, smoother 

 and shining ; in front of the constriction it is black, this colour 

 gradually thinning out till the red basal colour meets the white 

 front margin. Both it and the base of the elytra are thickly 

 set with upright black hairs. Elytra coarsely punctate-striate , 

 the punctures vanishing in the black apical third, the red part 

 is paler than the thorax, and fades almost to white before the 

 black begins, the lateral fasciae are bordered with black on the 

 basal side, but very narrowly, they are wide on the margin, 

 and run off to a point at the fourth stria, the subapical fascia
