Anthipha apicata >\>. nov. 



Piceous or black below, above fulvous, tlioraxwith a few tine jmnctures, depressed 

 at the sides, elytra closely semi-punctate-striate, a spot at the base, another below the 

 middle and the extreme apex black. 



Var. (rt). Elytra without spots. 



Var. (6). Underside fulvous, elytra unspotted. 



Length 2i to 3 lines. 



Head impunctate, foveolate between the eyes, the frontal elevation? strongly 

 raised, antennae fulvous, the second and third joints short, nearly equal, a little longer 

 in some specimens (? ?) ; thorax rather more than twice as broad as long, the sides 

 nearly straight, the anterior angles slightly produced outwards, the surface with a few 

 scarcely perceptible punctures and a tran.sverse depression at each side, fulvous ; elytra 

 widened and convex towards the ajiex, rather strongly and closely ])unctured in semi- 

 regular rows, not depressed below the base, a s[)Ot of variable size and shape at the 

 base, another transversely shaped below the middle and the apex of each elytron black ; 

 breast and the abdomen more or less black, legs fulvous. 



Hub. Sumbawa. 



The bi-impressed thorax, want of an elytral basal depression, and the spot at the 

 extreme apex of the elytra, together with the colour of the underside, distinguishes 

 this species from others nearly similarly coloured ; the unspotted varieties which I 

 possess from the same locality prove the variability of the species, and can only be 

 distinguished from others by the .structure of the antennae and thorax. There seem 

 to be only female sjjccimens before me. 



Anthipha sangirensis sp. nov. 



Broadly ovate, fulvous, the antennae and the tibiae and tarsi black, thorax 

 impunctate, elytra strongly and closely semi-punctate-striate. 



Length 2A lines. 



Head impunctate, frontal tubercles narrowly obliijue, antennae black, the second 

 joint very short, the third twice as long, the fourth one half longer than the preceding 

 joint, the following three joints equal, the rest broken off; thorax nearly three times 

 broader than long, tlie anterior margin deeply concave, the sides straight, the surface 

 impunctate, without depression, elytra rather convex, without basal depression, strongly 

 and closely punctured, the punctures arranged in semi-regidar rows, the ajiex very 

 obsoletely jmnctured, their epipleurae indistinct below the middle, tibiae and tarsi 

 black, the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following two joints together. 



Hab. Sangir (= Sanghi = Sanguir). 



Principally distingiu'shed from other nearly similarly coloured species by the 

 colour of the antennae and tibiae, the non-impressed thorax, and the strongly 

 punctured elytra. 



Solenia elongata sp. nov. 



Of narrowly elongate shape, black, the first three joints of the antennae, 

 the head, thorax and legs fulvous, thorax finely and sparingly jiunctured, elytra 

 regularly and closely punctate-striate, metallic blue. 



Length 1 h line. 



Head imjiunctate, frontal elevations and clypeus strongly raised, fulvous, 

 antennae robust, extending to the middle of the elytra, black, the lower three
