CHjETOONEM A . 



207 



Head broader than long, closely, strongly and rugosely punctate, 

 the interstices minutely granulate and only just separating the 

 punctures; lower portion of face clothed with white pubescence; 

 ■eyes very widely separated. Antennae extending to about the 

 middle of the elytra ; third segment very slightly shorter than the 

 fourth and a little longer than the thickened second segment; 

 the five apical segments somewhat thickened. Prothorax convex, 

 broader than long, sides nearly straight, anterior angles very 

 slightly oblique ; surface strongly and closely punctate, the inter- 

 stices, more especially at the sides, slightly reticulate. Scutellum 

 small, triangular, broader than long, impunctate. Elytra not 

 wider at base than prothorax, but gradually widened towards the 

 middle and there narrowing to the apex ; strongly punctate, the 

 punctures arranged in closely-placed rows, the interstices scarcely 

 wider than the punctures ; the rows are not everywhere quite 

 regular, and the interstices at the sides form two slightly-raised 

 longitudinal costae on each elytron. Underside : presternum and 

 breast strongly punctate. 



Length., 3 mm. 



Burma : Rangoon, xii. 1888 (Fea). 



Type in the Genoa Museum. One example, also marked " type " 

 and with Fea's label, in the British Museum (Jacoby Coll.).

Chcetocnema concinnipennis, Balv, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1877, 

 p. 170. 



Body ovate. Colour shining brassy-greenish or bluish ; antennae 

 and legs obscure tawny-reddish ; posterior femora sometimes 

 darker or pitchy; labrum shining black. 



Head with vertex and front finely grnnulose, punctate, clypeus 

 rugose-punctate, clothed with whitish hairs, labrum broad. 

 Antennas scarcely more than half the length of the body ; third 

 to fifth segments slender, almost equal ; the rest of the segments 

 somewhat thickened. Prothorax about twice as broad as long, 

 sides straight but oblique, rounded and converging in front, 

 anterior angles thickened ; surface convex, subcyliudrieal in front, 

 and closely covered with deep and strong punctures. Scutellum 

 broader than long, triangular with apex rounded, impunctate. 

 Elytra broadly ovate, somewhat narrowed towards the apex, 

 humeral callus thickened : surface closely covered with longi- 

 tudinal rows of punctures, the latter having a greater diameter 

 than the width of the intervals, which are subcostate along the 

 lateral margin and on the apical portion. In the closeness of the 

 longitudinal striae this species resembles Ch. birmanica, Jac, which 

 is a much broader and larger species. Underside punctate ; elytral 

 epipleura with rows of punctures ; other parts as described under 

 the genus. 



Length, a little more than 2 mm.
