Remarks.

The specimen from Tenasserim was already published by Kaszab (1965). This specimen clearly belongs to Spinolyprops maculatus and shares with the specimens from Sri Lanka the elytral colour pattern apically with an arrow-shaped dark element (Fig. 8). It is the only specimen of Spinolyprops maculatus out of Sri Lanka, so probably it was mislabelled (and is not mapped herein).

Distribution.

Sri Lanka (type locality),? S Burma ( Kaszab 1965).
