HALTICINJi. 



Head with vertex impunetate, frontal elevations absent ; eyes- 

 very large. Antennae extending to the end of the elytra ; fourth 

 segment distinctly longer than third. Prothorax somewhat broader 

 than long, sides straight, anterior angles oblique ; surface with a 

 few extremely fine punctures, only visible under a strong lens. 

 Elytra hardly widened at the middle, shoulders rounded, obtuse; 

 surface with extremely fine punctures, which are without any 

 arrangement. Underside : first segment of posterior tarsi half the 

 length of the tibia. 



Length, 2± mm. 



Burma: Karen Hills, Asciuii-Ghecu, 1400-1500 metres (Fea). 

 Type in the Genoa Museum. 



2o9. Longitarsus rangoonensis, Jacoby. 



Longitarsus rangoonensis, Jac, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxxii, 1892, 

 p. 9l>0. 



Body oblong. Colour light brown ; antennae, except the three 

 basal segments, and apical half of posterior femora, blackish or 

 pitch-brown ; the suture piceous, this colour being somewhat 

 narrow at the commencement, then broadening, and not extending 

 quite to the apex. More than three basal antennal segments may 

 be light brown, and also the sutural dark colour does not always 

 reach the base. 



Head with a few punctures between the eyes ; frontal tubercles 

 not prominent, though not quite absent, area between the 

 antenna) raised ; eyes strongly convex. Antennae extending to 

 rather- more than halt' the length of the elytra ; first segment 

 long and club-shaped, second shorter and thicker than, but 

 about equal to, third, fourth slightly longer than third (but not 

 nearly double the length, as Jacoby states, or at least not in 

 the example before me, which bears a label of identification in 

 Jacoby's handwriting) ; the rest of the segments about equal and 

 more hairy. Prothorax broader than long, sides rounded, anterior 

 angles oblique and posterior rounded; surface finely and rather 

 closely punctate. Scutellum triangular, broader than long, smooth, 

 impunetate. Elytra somewhat broader at base than prothorax; 

 surface finely and rather closely punctate, the punctures being 

 more prominent than those of the pronotum. Underside: apices 

 of posterior tibiae somewhat broadened ; first segment of posterior 

 tarsi about half the length of the corresponding tibia. 



Length, 2| mm. 



Burma : Rangoon, 1887 (Fea). 



The above description is taken from one example in the British 

 Museum, bearing Tea's and Jacoby 's labels, and marked "type." 

 But I do not think it is the actual type, which is presumably in 

 the Genoa Museum.
