SE HELOTA FROM BURMA 889 
If the larva described and figured by Mr. Sidney Olliff (’) 
belongs to this species or to Helota gemmata, Gorh. I cannot say, 
Mr. Lewis having captured both species. 
The specimens from Shanghai, alluded to by Mr. Lewis (Trans. 
Ent. Soc. London, 1874, p. 449), will probably prove to belong 
either to fulviventris, Kolbe or to Kolbez, Rits., the latter species 
being already known from that locality, the former from Korea 
and the Amur. .

Two. male specimens from Kiang-si: China (Pére David). 
One of these two examples measures only 13!/, millim. It 
is the smallest specimen of this species I saw up to this date.

Two female specimens, captured by Mr. L. Fea, one in March 
1887 in Tenasserim, in the mountains between the currents 
Meekalan and Kyeat, at an elevation of 1000-1400 meter, the 
other in December 1888 in the Carin mounts, Chebà district, at 
an elevation of 900-1100 meter above the level of the sea. 
The female differs from the male in having shorter and only 
slightly curved anterior tibiae, narrowly rounded apices to the 
elytra, and a small transverse bare impression (preceded by a 
narrow curved one) immediately in front of the apical margin 
of the last ventral segment which is regularly rounded poste- 
riorly. Moreover the punctuation of the head is somewhat finer 
in the female than in the male. 
Obs. The specimen from Tenasserim shows a slight deviation 
in regard to the situation of the anterior elytral spots, these being 
placed between the 4% and 7" striae instead of between the 4"
