PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 953 



punctured, the extreme basal margin black, the epipleurae an- 

 teriorly, piceous , the breast , tibiae , tarsi , the last abdominal 

 segment and the pygidium, black. 



Shwegoo, October. A single example. 



Closel}- allied to L. scute llaiits , Jac. but the antennae diffe- 

 rently coloured, the thorax broader and the elytral punctuation 

 more distinct, the pygidium also differently coloured. 



115. I*a,ri<iea Ibifixrcata, n. sp. 



Pale testaceous , the head and thorax pale fulvous, the breast 

 dark piceous; thorax impunctate; elytra semi-punctate-striate, pale 

 testaceous, shining, the pygidium produced into two acute points. 



Length 2^4 lines. 



Of ovate, convex shape, the head impunctate, obscure fulvous, 

 labrum piceous, the antennae extending to about half the length 

 of the elytra, testaceous, the second joint small, the third joint 

 very slightly shorter than the fourth ; thorax twice as broad as 

 long, the sides straight at the base, strongly rounded before the 

 middle, the disc deeply transversely grooved, rather convex, with 

 a few punctures near the anterior angles, obscure pale fulvous; 

 elytra pale testaceous, punctured in fine, irregular and closely 

 approached rows, the interstices also minutely punctured; un- 

 derside and legs testaceous , the breast black. 



Garin Gheba. A single specimen. 



The curious structure of the pygidium in the only, apparently 

 female specimen is unique amongst the Phytophaga to my 

 knowledge ; the upper portion of the pygidium projects beyond 

 the elytra into two deeply divided or split points, the margins 

 of which are clothed with a fringe of hairs , the extreme apex 

 being edged v\ith black. 



116. Par-idea x-uficollis, u. sp. 



Ovate, widened posteriorly, flavous, the four posterior tibiae 

 and tarsi and the breast more or less black, the thorax rufous.
