CLERIDAE FROM BURMAH 739 



The thorax is about as wide as long, formed much as in T. huqueti, 

 and with a very obsolete depression in the middle of its disk. 

 The puncturing is uniform, close and generally distinct, though 

 confluent in places, it is never rugose, the sides are margined 

 and contract conically towards the base. The elytra are rather 

 convex (not flattened as in T. buqueti or T. sanguineus), their 

 apex very evenly round and completely covering the abdomen. 

 Their puncturing is uniform and distinct throughout, they are 

 Qf a much brighter red than the head and thorax, the scutellar 

 spot is formed of one on each elytron but forms one mark, the 

 large spot in the middle of each looks as if it would form a 

 fascia, and the small one is just before the declivous apex. The 

 legs have all the femora much thickened, and on their inner 

 margin at the apex is a compressed lobe, forming the ginglymus. 

 This species is closely allied to another unique example from 

 Perak (Doherty) in which however the elytra have a complete 

 fascia; it has also an ally in Ceylon which M/ G. Lewis will 

 describe, but which differs in having silvery hairs in spots and 

 fasciae. I have not been able to separate these from Thaneroclerus.
