399 
Genus PSEUBAOEIA, uov. 
Type, P. hurmanica , Jac., from Burma. 
Range . Manipur ; Burma. 
Narrowly oblong, finely pubescent ; eyes entire; antennae fili- 
form, very long and slender, third and following joints very 
elongate. Thorax subcylindrical, narrowed at base and apex, 
lateral margins absent. Elytra much wider at base than the thorax, 
pointed at apex, surface rugose. Legs elongate and slender ; 
femora thickened ; first joint of tarsi as long as the following two 
united; claws bifid. Prosternum subquadrate; inesosternum 
strongly emarginate at base ; anterior margin of thoracic epi- 
sternum concave. 
This genus is closely allied to Aorta, Baly ; the species for 
which it is proposed are, however, of more narrow and elongate 
shape, and with the surface of the thorax and elytra not closely 
covered with hairs but shining and rugose, only very sparingly 
pubescent ; the legs generally and the metatarsi are much more 
slender and elongate ; the prosternum is not transverse but nearly 
quadrate. 
706. Pseudaoria burmanica, sp. n. 
Black. Head finely rugose ; clypeus separated from face by an 
obsolete groove, wedge-shaped, 
anterior border without teeth ; 
palpi slender ; antennae black, 
basal three joints more or less 
fulvous beneath, fourth joint 
nearly twice as long as the third, 
terminal joint extending to apex 
of elytra. Thorax widened at 
the middle, subcylindrical, surface 
very strongly and closely punc- 
tured, interstices rugose through- 
out, sparingly clothed with grey 
pubescence. Scutellum longer 
than broad, apex truncate, 
strongly punctured. Elytra with 
a transverse depression below 
base, longitudinally costate and 
irregularly rugose at the sides, 
the costae frequently interrupted ; 
sparingly clothed with stiff grey 
pubescence. Body beneath and 
legs similarly pubescent. The 
female is of more robust and 
broader shape, with shorter antennae and shorter metatarsi to 
anterior legs.
