HELOTA FROM BURMA — ; 891 
are very closely set on the sides; in front of the scutellum a 
longitudinal, nearly impunctate streak is present, which is ac- 
companied on each side of its base by a slight impression. The 
scutellum is strongly transverse, glossy and impunctate. 
Elytra subparallel, slightly narrowing towards the end, the 
apices separately rounded, more narrowly so in the female than 
in the male; the outer margin of the posterior third remotely 
serrulate. Each elytron has ten regular striae of punctures 
| which become larger and deeper towards the lateral margins; the 
 shoulders are impunctate; the interstices, which are almost im- 
perceptibly punctured, become costate on the apical portion, 
, especially the 3" and 9 which extend on to the extreme apical 
margin. 
The under surface of the head shows in the middle (the 
throat is impunctate) some large and shallow punctures, which 
is likewise the case with the prosternum and with the sides of 
the metasternum; the elytral epipleurae have a few punctures 
near the base. The abdomen is most finely punctured, the tibiae 
rather strongly so. 
97. The anterior tibiae slightly elongate, strongly curved, and 
with a strong curvature on the apical half of the under surface, 
just as in the male of curvipes; the apical ventral segment 
broadly rounded behind, shallowly impressed in the middle at 
the end, the impression finely pubescent. 
9. The anterior tibiae not elongated, nearly straight ; the last 
ventral segment truncate in a straight line posteriorly, with 
very distinct punctures in front of the truncation. 
8. Helota rotundata, spec. nov. 
A male specimen, captured by Mr. L. Fea in December 1888 
in the Carin mounts, Cheba district, at an elevation of 900-1100 
meter above the level of the sea. 
This species, of which the male sex only is known to me, 
likewise resembles Helota curvipes, Oberth., but is sufficiently 
distinct by the different position of the elytral spots, by the 
otherwise coloured antennae and legs, by the differently shaped
