 verse, clypeus triangular ; palpi broadly truncate and swollen 

 at the terminal joint ; antennae testaceous , the second and 

 third joints very small', equal, the following broadly flattened 

 and eacli joint strongly produced into a tooth like projection ; 

 the ll."" one with an appendage; thorax narrowly transverse, 

 nearly three times broader than long, the sides nearly straight, 

 the posterior margin produced in the middle, the surface with 

 a few punctures; elytra convex, broad, the side depressed below 

 the shoulders , the surface finely and closely punctured ; the 

 epipleurse narrow and continued to the apex; the four posterior 

 tibiae mucronate ; the first joint of the posterior tarsi longer

Teinzò, May 1886. 



The genus Bonesia was established by M.^ Baly on an insect 

 from West Africa the male of which is distinguished by the 

 strongly serrate antennae ; the present species of which only 

 a single male was obtained has not only all the generic struc- 

 tures peculiar to Bonesia (with the exception of the narrower 

 elytral epipleurse) but resembles singularly its African congener 

 B. Clarki in coloration ; the female, like the typical form , has 

 probably simple antennse ; no species has until now been recor- 

 ded from any other country but Africa.

Upper Burmah: Teinzò, Bhamò. March, July. 



The Burmah specimens differ from the type described by 

 me from Sumatra , in having an extra spot placed at the 

 sides of the thorax, tlius making 7 spots altogether ; the under- 

 side is also black instead of testaceous, but other ditterences , 

 sufficient to separate the insect, I cannot find.
