 slightly tapering or rather thinner than the intermediate ones; thorax at least twice 

 as broad as long, not narrowed in fiont, the sides lather strongly ronnded and 

 obsoletely sinnate, narrowly margined, the surface unevenly and strongly punctured ; 

 elytra not wider at the base than the thorax, without basal dei)ression, closely and 

 strongly punctured, the punctures arranged in rather irregular slightly geminate rows 

 anteriorly, singly near tlie apex, where the interstices are convex; tibiae not emar- 

 ginate at the apex, the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following two 

 joints; jn'osternum rather broad, truncate at the base and slightly widened there. 



Hnh. Timor. 



The single specimen obtained seems to me to enter the genxK Dematochrmna on 

 account of the characters pointed out above; it resembles closely D. brwiinearii Fabr., 

 but is smaller and differs in the ecjually wide not anteriorly narrowed thorax. 



Dermorhytis longipes sp. nov. 



Greenish black, above metallic dark green, the basal joints of the antennae 

 fuhous ; thorax transverse, finely and sparingly punctured, the sides subangulate, 

 elvtra with deep basal dejiression, strongly i)unctate-striate anteriorly, the interstices 

 smooth, femora with a minute tooth. 



Length 2 lines. 



Of oblong, subquadrate sliape, the head distantly punctured, the epistome not 

 se]iarated from the face, clypeus scarcely more closely punctured, labrum fulvous, 

 antennae slender, extending beyond the middle of the elytra, black, the lower three 

 joints fulvous, third joint double the length of the second, as long as the fourth joint. 

 terminal joints slightly thickened ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides rounded, 

 slightly angulate at the middle, the disc with a transverse groove parallel to the 

 anterior margin, finely and remotely punctured ; elytra much wider than the thorax 

 very dee[)ly dejiressed below the base, the shoulders prominent, the ])unetures \ery 

 deep anteriorly, diminishing towards the apex, and arranged in rows near the suture, 

 more irregularly and more coarselv towards the sides, the interstices not rugose excefit 

 to a slight extent below the shoulders ; legs elongate and slender, the intermediate 

 tibiae emarginate at the a])ex, the po.sterior ones entire, claws api)endiculate ; pro- 

 stenium longer than broad, coarsely )iuncfured, anterior margin of the thoracic

Hah. Kuby Mines (Burniah). 



This comparatively small sj)ecies possesses all the characters of the genus, but is 

 devoid of the elytral transverse rugosities to be found in most of its allies. 



Colaspoides malayanus sp. nov. 



Metallic green, antennae pur)ilish blue, the basal joints fulvous, the first metallic 

 above, thorax strongly and ratlier closely punctured, elytra deeply punctate-striate 

 anteriorly, the interstices strongly convex from the middle downwards, and transversely 

 raised at the sides in the female. 



Length 2 to 2i lines. 



Head deeply and closely punctured, with a very deep longitiulinal groove at the 

 vertex, clypeus sparingly punctured, separated fVom the face by a transverse groove, 

 labrum and jaws piceous, antennae extending to the middle of the elytra, the liasal 

 joint metallic greenish black, the following four joints fulvous, the rest bluish black;
