412 W. Horn : Six new Cicindelince. [Voiv. II, 1908.] 



Therates gestroi annandalei, sub-sp. nov. 



Differ! a forma prioritatis (T. gestroi, W. Horn, from Lakhon) 

 orbitis altius rectiusque positis, intermedia prothoracis parte an- 

 gustiore, lunula humerali fiava multo longiore (tertiam elytrorum 

 partem evidenter superante), macula basali item majore et cum 

 ilia connata et suturem versus paullulum descendente, macu^a 

 discoidaei media flava transversa vix majore, tota elytrorum parte 

 apical (aut quarta aut quinta) indistincte flavescente. lyong. 7-8 

 mm. (sine labro). 



9 (f , Kurseong, 5,000 feet, common in damp shady places, 

 3 — 5-vi-i9o8, caught by Dr. iV. Annandale. 



The anterior half of the elytra shows exactly the pattern of 

 Therates kraatzi, W. Horn, from Penang, but the di-^coidal patch 

 of the latter is much larger ; on the other hand the apex of the 

 elytra of the new form is much more broadly yellowish coloured. 

 The two deep longitudinal sulci in the middle part of the front of 

 T. gestroi and its sub-species are parallel, its interspace . flat and 

 smooth ; in T. kraatzi there is a slight depression in the centre 

 of this part towards which the two sulci converge a little : only 

 the anterior part before the convergence is smooth, all the remain- 

 der of the middle part is just a little obliquely, longitudinally 

 striated. The prothorax of the Penang species is broader than 

 that of T. gestroi annandalei and its extreme apex shows a distinct 

 but si ght transverse emargination.
