PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BURMAH 183 



the space near the lateral margin being nearly impunctate 

 (Marshall says, that the anterior margin is not sinuate behind 

 the eyes , in all the specimens before me , there is a distinct 

 concave emargination visible, caused by tlie projecting anterior 

 angles) ; the elytra, which have their basal portion raised and 

 rounded, are rather closely impressed with distinct semiregular 

 rows of punctures, the sides have a broad longitudinal depression 

 extending from the shoulders to the apex, not visible from above 

 on account of the edge which limits this depression above ; tlie 

 claws are appendiculate ; C. chalybeus is also mentioned by 

 Marshall as inhabiting Bur mah.
