121. I*seix<ioeopliora peotoralis, Baly. 



Two female specimens from Garin Gheba agree entirely with 

 Baly's descriptions " pale flavous, the breast and abdomen (the 

 last segment excepted) black " but the author gives the apex of 

 the anal segment as "deeply emarginate"; in the Birmah spe- 

 cimens, this part is incised at each side, the middle lobe being 

 rather concave which does not agree with the description. 



122. Sastra fixlvicomis, n. sp. 



Below piceous, above dark violaceous blue, antennae fulvous, 

 the head and thorax rugosely punctured, the latter with some 

 deep depressions, augniate at the sides, elytra very finely and 

 closely punctured and sparingly pubescent. 



Length 3 V2 lines. 



Head finely rugose at the vertex, the frontal tubercles di- 

 stinctly raised, the lower portion more shining, the antennae 

 about two-thirds the length of the body, slender, fulvous, the 

 third joint very elongate and the longest ; thorax at least twice 

 as broad as long, the sides strongly augniate at the middle, the 

 anterior and posterior margin nearly straight, the surface finely 

 rugose throughout, deeply impressed at the sides and less so 

 and longitudinally at the middle ; scutellum broad, finely punc- 

 tured ; elytra wider at the base than the thorax, slightly widened 

 towards the middle , with a narrow margin , dark violaceous 

 blue, finely and closely punctured, and sparingly covered with 

 grey pubescence ; legs obscure violaceous, the tibiae sulcate and 

 unarmed, the claws bifid, the anterior coxal cavities open. 



Garin Gheba. 



123. Sastra (Sastroides) ci*assipalpis, Jac. 



The Birmah specimens agree very nearly with the type from 

 Sumatra, the palpi are however not quite so strongly incrassate
