HALTICLNiE. 



Head with vertex impunctate ; interocular space with two 

 deeply impressed oblique lines meeting in the centre and delimiting 

 the flattened frontal tubercles ; interantennal carina broad, clypeus 

 depressed, labrum longer than broad, clypens and labrum with a 

 few long white hairs. Antennae extending a little distance beyond 

 the base of the elytra ; first segment long and club-shaped, second 

 a little thicker than third, the second and the following segments 

 are more or less nearly equal in length. Prothoraoo much longer 

 than broad, somewhat narrowed in front, sides straight but 

 oblique, with their margins somewhat explanate and reflexed, 

 anterior lateral angles strongly produced and narrowly expanded, 

 front margin sinuate and basal margin also sinuate at each side, 

 as usual; surface finely and uniformly punctate. Scutellum tri- 

 angular, with surface smooth and impunctate. Elytra somewhat 

 narrowed towards apex ; surface closely punctate, the punctures 

 being much stronger than those of the pronotum and generally 

 confused, but on each elytron there are three impunctate strips, 

 each being delimited by two series of regular punctures ; while 

 along the margin is a broad space, the surface of which is im- 

 punctate in the sense that it is not covered with the stronger 

 punctures, but only with very fine minute punctures visible under 

 a strong power ; this space is bounded along the extreme margin 

 by a row of strong punctures, and along its inner side by two 

 parallel rows of strong punctures. Underside sparsely covered 

 with hairs, and punctate. 

 Length, 5^ mm. 



Bukma : Ruby Mines (Doherty). 

 Type in the British Museum. 



233. Sphaeroderma pallidicornis, Jacohy. 



Sphceroderma pallidicornis, Jac, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 

 1892, p. 930. 



Black ; antennae and lower part of face yellow-brown ; legs and 

 abdomen a deeper shade of brown. 



Head impunctate, eyes very large. Antennae extending to the 

 base of the elytra, with the terminal segments distinctly thickened, 

 second and following segments equal. Prothorax about two and 

 a half times as broad as long, longer in the middle than at the 

 sides, sides nearly straight, anterior lateral angles oblique, not 

 thickened ; surface very minutely punctate. Elytra more distinctly 

 and very closely punctate, the punctures here and there arranged 

 in rows. 



Length, 21 mm. 



Burma : Karen Mts. (Fed) ; a single specimen. 



Type in the Genoa Museum. I have not seen the type. 



This species resembles S. abdominalis, Jac, and S. apicipennis, 

 Baly. but differs in having the pronotum minutely punctate, the 

 elytra very closely and rather irregularly punctate, and the legs 

 and abdomen paler.
