PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BURMAH 151 



Mus. (1884). I find that the thorax in all the specimens of 

 L. hcematomelas has another more or less distinct transverse 

 sulcation at the middle of the disc, similar to one although less 

 prominent found in L. coromandeliana , but I cannot find any 

 reference to this structure in Lacordaire's description with which 

 in other respect the species agrees. 



8. Iberna. TVallacei, Jac, 



Shwegoo , October ; Bhamò , July. 



The specimens are slightly larger than the type from Su- 

 matra and the thorax is somewhat variable in regard the punc- 

 tuation. 



9. X^ema, rixg-ifrons , n. sp. 



Pale testaceous ; the labrum , the intermediate joints of the 

 antennae and the tarsi fuscous ; head finely rugose and pube- 

 scent ; thorax with two transverse depressions ; elytra strongly 

 punctate-striate. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head broader tlian long, very finely rugose and pubescent , 

 the vertex with a short longitudinal groove ; the lateral 

 grooves moderately deep; eyes deeply notched; antenna? half 

 the length of the body, robust, tuscous, the first basal and 

 the apical joints fulvous, third and fourth joints equal ; thorax 

 distinctly broader than long, the sides moderately constricted 

 below the middle the anterior portion widened, the surface with 

 a few fine punctures at the middle of the disc and at the sides, 

 the latter with a short transverse groove, the base with another 

 deeper transverse sulcation , placed close to the posterior mar- 

 gin ; elytra not depressed below the base, strongly and regularly 

 punctured anteriorly more finely posteriorly, the interstices fiat 

 except near the extreme apex ; underside and legs testaceous , 

 the apex of the tibiae and the tarsi fuscous.
