LONGITARSUS.

and interantennal carina well developed. Antennae extending 

 almost to the end of the body ; first segment long and club-shaped, 

 second much smaller than first and thicker but shorter than 

 third ; the following segments more or less nearly equal. 

 Prothorace broader than long, slightly narrowed behind, sides 

 somewhat rounded, anterior lateral angles oblique ; surface gently 

 convex, distinctly and sparsely punctate, some of the punctures 

 towards the base being rather stronger. Scutellwn small, tri- 

 angular, with apex rounded and surface smooth. Elytra distinctly 

 broader at base than prothorax, sides almost parallel, broadly 

 rounded at the apex ; surface strongly punctate, the punctures 

 having a certain degree of regularity in their arrangement as 

 longitudinal striae. Underside : posterior tibise long, with a series 

 of spinules on the outer edge near the apical end, which is supplied 

 with a spine ; first segment of posterior tarsi half the length of 

 the corresponding tibia. 

 Length, 2\ mm. 



Assam: Sadiya {Doherty ; type-locality); Patkai Mts. (Doherty). 

 Burma : Ruby Mines (Doherty). 

 Type in the British Museum. 



Described from four examples, of which one from Sadiya and 

 another from the Patkai Mountains are somewhat smaller than 

 the type. 



267. Longitarsus tavoya, sp. nov. 



Body oblong. Colour dark red-brown ; apices of posterior 

 femora black ; last segment of the antennae a little darker. 



Head with vertex im punctate, frontal elevations and inter- 

 autennal carina feebly developed. Antennas extending almost 

 to the end of the body ; first segment long and club-shaped, 

 second and third almost equal, fourth much longer than third; the 

 following segments elongated and equal, except the last three, 

 which are slightly shorter. Prothorax broader than long, sides 

 more or less nearly straight, anterior lateral angles somewhat 

 oblique ; surface gently convex, distinctly and sparsely punctate. 

 Scxtellum triangular, with surface smooth and impunctate. 

 ^Elytra broad, distinctly broader at base than prothorax; surface 

 strongly punctate, the punctures having a certain degree of 

 regularity in their disposition in longitudinal striae. Underside : 

 posterior tibise long, somewhat curved, with the outer edge (near 

 the apex, and to a certain extent above it) having a series of 

 spinules, the apex ending in a spine ; first segment of the posterior 

 tarsi half the length of the corresponding tibia. 



Length, 2\ mm. 



Tenasserim : Tavoy ( Doherty). 



Type in the British Museum. Described from one example.
