on the apical side, and the posterior fascia is also less sharply 

 indented than those in T. senegalensis. This is the smallest Try- 

 cheriis I have yet seen. 

 A single female example. 



EKCTMOisr ciNCTiPES, n. sp. (Plate XXXII, fig. 4.) 



Niger, nitidus, fere glaher ; ■protliorace transversa, lateribus leviter 

 sinuatis, angulis msticis rectis ; femoribus juxta apicem rufo- 

 cinctis. Long. 9 millim. S $ . 



Mas : abdominis segmentum apicale leviter emarginatum. 



Hah. Burma, Ruby Mines (DoTierfij). 



Head smooth but uneven, owing to the raised antennal ridges ; 

 antennae rather long, their basal joint as long as the third, the 

 fourth to eighth gradually decreasing, about half the length of the 

 third. Thorax not twice as wide as long, smooth, with deep basal 

 sulci, which reach half the length ; the width in front, across the 

 prominent angles, is about equal to that of the base, but the sides 

 widen a little. The elytra are decidedlj^ oblong, not so convex nor 

 so much rounded on their sides as in E. immacidatus or E. feri- 

 alis- the sutiiral stria is distinct, but nearly vanishes at the apex, 

 their margins are but narrowly expanded. The underside is black, 

 the abdomen rather dull, the apical segments are a little pubescent 

 and the apex punctured, and this appears to me more so in those 

 examples which have a slight notch, and which from analogy I 

 assume to be the males. I can see no difference in the tibiae. 

 The femora are rather distinctly clubbed, and are red for about a 

 third of their length over the thickest part. This species is 

 perfectly distinct from E. ferialis. The thorax is wider, and the 

 form is more oblong and not so convex as other species alhed to it. 



There are seven examples before me from Fry's collection. 



Encxmon yiolacetjs, Gerst. 



Perak (JDolierty). 



This insect has a wider range than I should have expected. I 

 have lately seen examples from the Karen Mountains {Fea) ; and 

 it varies in the colour of the elytra, the one before me from Perak 

 having them nearly black with a faint green reflection. 



Encxmon begalis, Gorham, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1874, p. 440. 



Var. pedihus totis nigris. 



Mas : tibiis anticis et intermediis intus infra medium minute 

 denticulatis ; ahdominis segmento ajpicali anguJatim emarginato, 

 hasi medio subelevato. 



Perak, low country (Doherty). 



Two specimens, a male and a female, in Mr. Fry's collection 

 present the characters of the insect described by me from the 

 Philippine Islands, with the exception of the colour of the hinder 

 legs. One being a male, I am able to give the sexual distinction. 

 The emargination of the last segment will be found useful in other 

 species in which the tibise are simple or nearly so in both sexes.
