Fig. 62 . — Diapromorpha sexmaculata and var. 
Differs from D. dejeani in the bluish-black colour of the head, 
in being finely longitudinally strigose, not smooth, and in the 
clypeus and fulvous labrum. Thorax strongly transverse in both 
sexes ; sides strongly rounded, with the black bands touching the 
basal margin, often connected at base. Scutellum broad and 
triangular, not small and narrow. Elytra extremely finely and 
closely punctured ; the bands as in 1). dejeani but of different 
shape. 
Var. a. Thorax and elytra entirely fulvous or flavous, without 
spots. 
Var. b. Thorax as in var. a; elytra with two small spots at 
base and one transverse in shape behind the middle (true 
D. sexmaculata , Jac.). 
Length 6-7 mm. 
Hab. Burma : Bhamo, Tharrawaddy. 
Neither this species norD. quadri punctata, Jac. is typical of Dia- 
promorpha, since the pygidium is exposed in the $ only, not in 
the <3 , nor are the elytral lobes strongly pronounced : both insects 
are transitionary between the present genus and Gynandrophthalma , 
approaching however, more nearly to Diapromorpha.
