the length of the preceding liut half the length of the fourth joint, fulvous at the 

 base, black at the apex, the following joints similarh' coloured ; thorax twice as broad 

 as long, parallel, the sides nearly straight, slightly rounded before the middle, the 

 surface impunetate, rather convex, shining, flavous ; scutellum black ; elytra with a 

 rather distinct deijression below the base at the suture, dark blue or violaceous, strongly 

 punctured in closely approached rather regular rows; legs slender, the anterior tibiae 

 entirely and the base of the others more or less fulvous; first joint of the posterior 

 tarsi much longer than the following joints. 



Hdh. Humlxildt Bay (New Guinea). 



Differing from M. caerideipennia Jac. in the impunetate head, ditfereutly coloured 

 antennae, the impunetate thorax, and the colour of the tibiae ; the female insect is 

 much larger, the elytral are less distinctly depressed below the base, and much more 

 closely and more irregularly pimctm-ed ; in both sexes the pygidium is black as well 

 as the underside. 



Microlepta pallida sp. no\. 



Fla\ous, antennae extending beyond the elytra, slender ; thorax subquadrate, 

 impunetate, elytra extremely finely and sparingly punctured. 



Length 2 to 2i lines. 



Of subcylindrical and convex shape, and uniform flavous colour, the head im- 

 punetate, the eyes very large, the intermediate space narrower than their diameter, 

 forming a nearly contiguous and plane surface, palpi acutely pointed at the terminal 

 joint, antennae very closely approached, longer than the body, the first joint extremely 

 long, curved, the second short, the following joints nearly as long as the first ; thorax 

 scarcely one half broader than long, the sides very slightly rounded, the surface 

 impunetate ; elytra convex, slightly widened posteriorly, without basal depression, 

 scarcely perceptibl}' punctured ; tibiae mucronat,e, the first joint of the posterior tarsi as 

 long as the following joints together, claws appeudiculate ; anterior coxal cavities open. 



Hab. Perak. 



Anthipha longicornis sp. nov. 



Testaceous, above fulvous or black, the second and third joints of the antennae 

 \ery small, thorax nearly impunetate, elytra closely and strongly punctured. 



Length 2 to 2^ lines. 



Head impunetate, frontal tubercles transverse, moderately raised ; the antennae 

 extending to the end of the elytra, black, the first joint flavous below, the second and 

 third very small, equal, the fourth joint extremely long and the longest ; thoi-ax 

 transver.se, more than twice as broad as long, of equal width, the sides nearU' straighr. 

 the angles obtuse, the surface rather convex without depressions, impunetate, with 

 the exception of a few very fine punctures at the sides ; elytra without depression, 

 rather strongly and closely punctured. 



Hab. Sumbawa and Sangir (= Sanghi). 



This Anthipka resembles in coloration several other species from the East, but 

 differs from any in the very long antennae and their short second and third joint.- ; 

 the black specimens were obtained at Sumbawa only, the fulvous ones are from ?angir ; 

 both forms agree in the structure of their antennae and other details, but the former 

 are in all instances incomplete, so that I cannot say anything about tlie length which 

 probably varies in the difterent sexes, but I think I am right in considering both 

 forms as representing the same species.
