Zonopterus perversus, n. sp

Among a number of 16 specimens of the Longicorn genus Zonopterus Hope, originating from Theinzeik (Burma), which, superficially regarded, appeared to belong to one and the same species, viz. flavitarsis Hope, I detected by a more careful examination two specimens, which, no doubt, ought to be separated from the other as a distinct, not yet described species, for which I propose the name Zonopterus perversus. The principal characters by which this species is differentiated from flavitarsis are the following: Antennae much more slender and having the 5 basal joints black, the 6th and 7th stained at the base with fuscous; in flavitarsis the 4 basal joints and the base of the 5th are black.
