( 27G ) 



thorax twice as broad as long, distinctly narrowed in front, the sides rounded, the 

 surface strongly but not verj' closely [lunctured ; elytra convex, deeply punctate-striate 

 anteriorly, the interstices longitudinally convex towards the apex ; legs metallic green, 

 tarsi bluisli. 



llab. Martapuni (.^.E. Borneo. 



In si)ite of the great resemblance in sc'ulpture which this species has with 

 C lupmiei, C. cof/nata, and several other species described by me, I must again 

 sejiarate it on account of the colour of the antennae and the anteriorly narrowed 

 thorax ; in none of the nearly similarly sculptured species, is the basal joint of the 

 antennae metallic green. C. rafleii Haly has also dift'erently coloured antennae, 

 and the punctuation of the thorax is quite distinct. 



Rhyparida fiilvicornis sp. nov. 



Mlack, shining, antennae fulvous, lit ad finely strigose, thorax impunctate, elytra 

 with basal depression, distinctly punctate-striate anteriorly, the posterior portion very 

 obsoletely punctured. 



I.#ngth li to 2 line.-. 



Head opaque, very miniitely punctured anil finely obliquely strigose, the 

 epistome not separated from the face, with a few fine imnctures, antennae fulvous, 

 the terminal joints sometimes slightly darkened and widened ; thorax one half liroader 

 than long, the sides rather strongly widened and rounded at the middle, greatly 

 deflexed anteriorly, the surface shining, black, impunctate with the excejition of a few 

 very minute punctures near the sides ; scutellum not longer than broad, smooth, its 

 apex rounded; elytra with a di.stinct depression below the base, very shining, the 

 punctured striae distinct anteriorly, nearly obsolete below the middle ; femora 

 unarmed. 



Hab. Batch ian (liatjan). 



The finely strigose head, the .-Inning and widened thorax, and the fulvous antennae 

 will separate this species from any of its congeners. 



Rhyparida sangirensis sp. nov. 



Broadly ovate, fulvous, head and thorax brownish, very clo.-ely [punctured, 

 elj'tra punctafe-sulcate, the iMfer^tico convex, antennae as long as the lx)dy. 



Length 2^ lines. 



Head closely and distinctly punctured, eyes large, distinctly notched, the 

 epistome separated from the face by a distinct groove, jaws piceous, antennae 

 extending to the apex of the elytra, fuhous ; thoi'ax twice as broad as long, 

 the sides strongly rounded, but slightly narrowed towards the apex, the surface 

 closely punctured, longitudinallystrigo.se at the sides; elytra slightly broader than 

 the thorax, without any basal depression, tlie punctuation arranged in deejily 

 impressed sulci, the interstices convex, costate at the sides, the eighth and ninth 

 rows of punctures only extending upwards to the middle, the humeral callus 

 impunctate; femora unarmed. 



Hah. Sanghi (Sangir = Sangi = Sanguir) (X. of Celebes). 



Somewhat similarly sculptured as B. (Phi/tori's) piivjuis Baly, but a true 

 Rliyparida, and distinguished by the close punctuation of the head and fliorax, 

 the strigose sides of the lafter and the sculpture of the elytra.
