HELOTA FROM BURMA 901 
ring is present just before the apex of the tibiae, the tarsi more 
or less dark brown. 
The head strongly and remotely punctured on the middle, 
finer and denser so close to the eyes, minutely so on the nar- 
rowed front portion. 
The prothorax narrowed to the front in nearly straight lines, 
the anterior angles rounded, not at all prominent, the front 
margin straight; the base bisinuate, the lateral angles acute, 
the median lobe broadly rounded; the upper surface irregularly 
covered with strong punctures, a smooth space in front of the 
scutellum, the scutellum itself transverse and impunctate. 
The elytra subparallel, narrow and elongate, the apices broadly, 
almost conjointly rounded ; each elytron with ten regular striae 
of punctures which are smaller than in the allied species, the 
interstices slightly costate at the end. 
The underside of the head and the brassy lateral portions of 
the prosternum deeply punctured, the sides of the metasternum 
with a few fine punctures, the elytral epipleurae and the ab- 
domen apparently impunctate; the last ventral segment rather 
narrowly subtruneate posteriorly; the anterior tibiae nearly 
straight, the intermediate and posterior tarsi very slender and 
elongate. 
4. Helota dubia, spec. nov. 
A single female specimen from the above mentioned locality. 
This specimen is so closely allied to Helota Boysti, Rits. (Notes 
Leyden Museum, 1889, p. 189) of which the male only is 
described, that it perhaps will prove to be the female of the 
quoted species. 
Length 81/, millim. — Very narrow and elongate; shining; 
above metallic green with coppery tinges; the antennae reddish 
testaceous, the terminal joint of the club infuscate ; each elytron 
provided between the 3" and 7° striae with two rather large 
yellow spots which are narrowly surrounded with bluish black. 
Underneath the head (with the exception of the throat), the 
lateral portions of the prosternum and the elytral epipleurae
