 26. j^Jelixantlius Ibixuacixlicollis , Baly.

 shoulder and the apex, black. 



Var. b. Elytra fulvous with tlie same markings as in var. a. 



Garin Gheba ; Shwegoo ; Palon. 



This species was described from a single specimen by Baly from 

 Penang, the Birmah specimens agree entirely with Baly's de- 

 scription and figure (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1865, p. QQ) in the type 

 the antennae were partly wanting, in the specimens before me, 

 they are black, with the exception of the basal two joints which 

 are ilavous below , the 6-terminal joints are triangularly but 

 slightly widened , they do not extend beyond the base of the 

 thorax ; the femora are llavous at the basal portion , the pro- 

 sternum is strongly produced in front ; in the varieties the black 

 markings of the elytra are greatly reduced and in one specimen 

 the femora are entirely llavous. 



27. I>ioryetxis castaneus , n. sp. 



Subcylindrical, convex, reddish-brown, the basal joints of the 

 antennae and the tarsi, llavous; head and thorax closely punc- 

 tured ; elytra strongly punctate-striate, the interstices minutely 

 punctured. 



Length 1 74 line. 



Rather robust, convex and subcylindrical, dark reddish- brown, 

 the h^ad flat , closely and finely punctured , eyes moderately 

 deeply emarginate, antennae not extending beyond the base of 

 the thorax, the basal six joints flavous, the rest black; thorax 

 strongly transverse, the sides rounded, narrowed in front, the 

 basal margin sinuate at each side, the medial lobe strongly 

 produced and pointed , the surface extremely closely impressed 

 with small and larger punctures; scutellum entirely invisible
