CLERIDAE FROM BURMAH 735 



altogether a shorter stouter insect, and has the median fascia 

 narrower and slightly undulate, and the apical one takes the 

 form of a pale spot on each elytron, the suture and apex itself 

 being narrowly pitchy. 



24. Xenorthrius subfasciatus, n. sp. 



Nigro-piceus, elytris obscure ferrugineis, basi anguste et triente 

 apicali nigris, fascia tenui ante apicern flava^ femoribus flavis subtus 

 ad apicibus nigro-tinctiSj pectore rufo-piceo. Long. 10-12 millim. 



Hab. Palon, Pegu. 



Var. Elytrorum basi concolore^ fascia ante apicern ad suturam 

 et ad marginem interrupla, pedibus testaceis. 



Head and thorax pitchy black and shining, basal joint of the 

 antennae, labrum and palpi yellow, but all touched with pitchy- 

 black, rest of the antennae pitchy, formed as in X Mouhoti, 

 viz, the third and succeeding joints, to the seventh, elongate, the 

 four terminal joints forming a long lax club, the apical joint 

 falcate-elongate. The elytra are crenate striate, as in X. Mouhoti^ 

 but in the typical ((/'?) example the interstices are but little 

 raised. The dark red colour of the basal two-thirds of the elytra 

 becomes pale before the black part of the apex, and the narrow 

 fascia, which divides this apical part is pale. The Qonstricted line 

 of the pronotum is very densely clothed with golden pubescence, 

 which is seen to unite behind, when looked at from above with 

 the head raised. The femora beneath at the knees, the tibiae 

 and tarsi are black, and in the variety ( 9 ?) they are entirely 

 yellow. This insect reminds me of Sligmatium audaXj, Gorh. 



25. Xenorthrius balteatus, n. sp. 



Niger; elytris {fascia angusta basali^ trienteque apicali exceptis) 

 ochraceo-ferrugineiSj profufide crenato slrialis, basi granulosis; cor- 

 por e subtus pedib usque flavis ^ antennis palpis tarsisque ferrugineis. 

 Long. 11 millim.

Head and thorax black the latter inclining to be pitchy, and 

 the head distinctly so ; distinctly and closely punctured beneath
