2. Pyxidicerus sp. 1 * ** ( Fig. 3B View Fig , 4A View Fig )

Specimens examined. 3 males, 2 females, 7–8 TF .

Remarks. This species is very similar to the species, Pyxidicerinus barbieri described by Jeannel (1952) from Saigon (= Ho Chi Minh City), southern Vietnam in the small sized body, and the structure of the head and pronotum. However, it belongs not to the genus Pyxidicerinus , but Pyxidicerus , because it clearly has 11-segmented antenna, in contrast, the former genus has 10-segmented antenna. On the other hand, the male genitalia of this species shown in Fig. 4A View Fig has complicated structure, which is clearly different from one of the former species. It is the first record of the subtribe Pyxidicerina and the genus Pyxidicerus from Myanmar.
