PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 887 



25. Ohlamys :fóae , n. sp. 



Entirely pale fulvous, middle portion of the thorax raised, 

 bicarinate posteriorly, the surface with small longitudinal piceous 

 stripes, elytra closely punctured with transverse and longitudinal 

 ridges , the apex with two larger pale tubercles, pygidium tri- 

 carinate. 



Length 2 Yg lines. 



Head closely rugosely punctate, mandibles black, antennae 

 fulvous, dentate from the fourth joint, and broader than long; 

 thorax with the middle portion strongly convex, the convexity 

 longitudinally chanelled and bounded at the sides by a strongly 

 raised ridge , the sides transversely reticulate , the space near 

 the lateral margin slightly raised ; the entire surface finely 

 rugose, fulvous, the anterior portion with a small piceous stripe 

 at each side and two small spots at the middle, the chanelled 

 portion with another narrow transverse piceous stripe, the basal 

 margin deeply sinuate at each side , produced into two points 

 at the middle ; scutellum narrowly transverse , the posterior 

 angles strongly pointed ; elytra more strongly rugose than the 

 thorax, with an oblique strongly raised ridge (consisting of 3 

 tubercles) from the middle of the base to below the humeral 

 callus, the basal tubercle of this ridge is also joined by a narrow 

 longitudinal ridge to another transverse one at the sides, a more 

 broadly raised and curved space extends near the suture to 

 below the middle ; * near the apex the surface is again convex 

 and connected with three or four pale coloured tubercles, the 

 largest of which is placed near the suture, a smaller transversely- 

 shaped tubercle is situated at the sides below the middle, close 

 to the lateral margin where it sends off a narrow ridge upwards 

 towards the shoulder ; underside pale flavous as well as the legs, 

 sculptured like the upper side.
