to pitchy red. The head has an extremely deep transverse 

 furrow, parallel to the anterior margin of the prothorax ; at 

 each extremity this is joined by a slight longitudinal marginal 

 furrow, which passes above the antenna and eye ; the clypeus 

 has an oval impression, and behind it on each side is a very 

 deep longitudinal furrow; these last unite with the great 

 transverse furrow. The prothorax has a posterior and lateral 

 slender marginal ridge ; anteriorly this is angular, but not 

 produced by the side of the head ; posteriorly it is incrassated 

 in the middle, and as it were turned back over the disk of the 

 prothorax ; on each side it has dorsally an obvious but not 

 deep furrow, originating near the anterior margin, and termi- 

 nating in the posterior angle. Each elytron has four furrows : 

 the first originates by the side of the scutellum and terminates 

 in the apical angle ; the second is very short, scarcely a sixth 

 of the entire length of the elytron, and situated near the an- 

 terior extremity of the third, which originates dorsally near 

 the shoulder, and ceases considerably before reaching the api- 

 cal angle ; the fourth is equidistant from the third and the 

 marginal ridge of the elytron ; it is less deep than the others ; 

 it originates laterally, considerably below the shoulder, and 

 surpasses the third, but still does not reach the apical angle. 



Inhabits the island of Java. One example, from which the above 

 description is taken, is in the cabinet of the Rev. F. W. Hope. A 

 second is in the British Museum, but its habitat is unknown. A 

 third, of much larger size than either of the foregoing, is in the 

 cabinet of Mr. Children, and this last has the antennae very much 

 incrassated in the middle. 



Sp. 4. Hect. trigeminum. Atra nitida, femoribus piceis i pro- 

 thoracis stria duce laterales, singuli elytri tres, quarum interna

 unc. ; lat. '2 unc.) 

 The colour is black and very shining ; there is no trace of 

 any other hue except in the femora, which incline to pitchy 

 black. The head has a deep transverse furrow near its pos- 

 terior margin ; at each posterior angle of the head this is 

 joined by a longitudinal marginal furrow, which originates near 

 the base of the antenna, and passes above the eye ; the cly- 

 peus has a diffuse oval impression, and on each side of this
