PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTEKA FROM BURMAH 235 



latter and the tarsi, piceous; claws appendiculate; anterior coxal 

 cavities closed. 



Teinzò, Bhamò, May, June 1885-86. 



From the typical forms of Platyxantha the present species 

 deviates somewhat in regard to the filiform antennas , rather 

 more transverse thorax and the curious appendage of the tibia 

 which here is placed at the intermediate instead of the posterior 

 ones ; there is only a single male specimen obtained in this 

 collection whicli has unfortunately lost the anterior legs, so that 

 I am not able to say anything in regard to their structure, but 

 the first joint of the posterior tarsi is as long as the three 

 following joints together ; in the female sex , the thorax has 

 only two depressions (the third anterior one in the male may 

 be accidental) and the tibiae are simple as well as the lower 

 part of the face which is without cavitv but has well developed 

 narrowly transverse frontal tubercles and a triangular raised 

 clypeus. 



166. Solenia {Euphyma) indica, u. sp. 



Fulvous ; antennae black , the lower three joints fulvous ; 

 thorax transverse, impunctate; scutellum black; elytra violaceous 

 blue, very closely and distinctly semipunctate-striate. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head impunctate , deeply transversely grooved between the 

 eyes; the frontal tubercles narrowly transverse; antenna* about 

 half the length of the body, 1)lack, the lower three joints fulvous, 

 the second joint one lialf shorter tlian the third ; tliorax trans- 

 versely convex , more than twice as broad as long, the sides 

 strongly rounded , the anterior angles produced into a short 

 tooth, the basal margin with a short very indistinct perpendicular 

 groove at each side, the surface impunctate, shining; scutellum 

 broadly ovate, black ; elytra ovate, strongly convex, the punctures 

 arranged in closely approached and not very regular rows ; 

 underside and legs entirely fulvous.
