Hub. Burniab, Karen Mountains (Doherti/). 



The head and thorax in this species are almost entirely covered 



with ashy-grey close hairs, resembling scales, and perhaps in part 



really these are scales ; the thorax is very even, scarcely constricted in 



front, and with the posterior part very gently rounded to the base, 



the margin is there raised and polished in the middle, and there is 



a small denuded mark in the ceutre of the base, before the margin 



slightly impressed. It is half as long again as wide. The pattern 



of the elytra is very elegant, but hard to express in words. The 



basal scales and first oblique mark form an .r, with the toj) straight, 



then almost united to this is a mark like — y— , the jj being 



common to the two elytra ; then a straight and entire fascia at 



about one third from the apex, slightly thickened on the suture, 



and the apex itself ashy, and the ashy scales joining the fascia. 



Legs black, except the trochanters and extreme base of the thighs. 



Four specimens.

Head blue-black, with white scales in front, very sparingly 

 punctured and shining ; thorax strongly constricted, and widely 

 lobed at the sides, an impression on each lobe, and one in the 

 middle of the base which is smooth and polished ; there are a few 

 white scales on each side in the anterior constriction, the colour is 

 blue-black, the punctuation strong and distinct. The elytra are 

 depressed at their base, black or brownish, this colour extending 

 up the margin to the base, but of a sordid yellow within (the 

 suture narrowly dark) and almost to their apices. The white 

 scales border the suture sometimes in the apical half. In the 

 basal half there are normally six white spots, four in pairs near 

 the suture and between them, one nearer the margin on each 

 elytron on the black part, and there is one lateral subapical spot, 

 sometimes joined with the sutural scales, forming the 7 mark so 

 common in this genus. But these spots are feebly scaled and 

 liable to be worn off, and the central pair may be absorbed in tlie 

 sutural line. Scutellum white. The hind thighs have the small 

 hioth near their aj)ices. The underside is blue-black, with the
