e(iual, short, the former joint thickened, fourth joint double the length of the third, 

 terminal joints broken oft'; thorax scarcely twice as broad as long, the sides nearly 

 straight, the surface with a rather deep transverse depression, extending to the sides, 

 strongly punctured ; elytra without basal depression, shining, rather strongly punc- 

 tured, more finely so towards the apex, the sides and apex more or less strono-lv 

 marked with fuscous; underside, especially the breast, piceous, le^s flavous. 



Hab. Andai (New Guinea). 



The very small size of this species and the obscurely coloured sides and apex of 

 the elytra will help in its recognition. 



Cneorane borneensis sp. uov. 



Elongate, metallic dark blue, above metallic green, antennae, tibiae, and tarsi 

 black, thorax subquadrate, \ery sparingly punctured, elytra rugosely jiunctured. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head impunctate, frontal elevations transverse, eyes large, antennae long, ex- 

 tending nearly to the end of the elytra, pubescent, the second and third joints small, 

 equal, the fourth longer than the two preceding ones together, and the longest, 

 terminal joints cylindrical, elongate ; thorax scai-cely broader than long, the side< 

 nearly straight, slightly narrowed at the base, the anterior angles not produced, but 

 distinct and slightly thickened, the surface rather convex, without depression, metallic 

 green, the disc with a few fine punctures ; scutellum black ; elytra wider than the 

 thorax, parallel, sti-ongly punctured in \ery closely approached in-egular rows, the 

 interstices rugose ; tibiae unarmed, the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as 

 the following two joints together ; claws appendiculate ; prostemum not visible 

 between the coxae, anterior cavities open. 



Hab. Jlartapura (S.E. Borneo). 



I have already described in the Genoa Annals, 1885, a species of Cnem-nae, but 

 provisionally, of similar construction as the jiresent species, inhabiting New Guinea. 

 In lx)th in.sects the antennae resemble those of a species of Ozo'inena. C. borneensis 

 diflfers from C. seraipurpitrea in the colour of the head, thorax and elytra, and in the 

 very sparingly punctured thorax, also in the colour of the legs. 



Monolepta sangirensis sp. nov. 



Entirely pale flavous or testaceous, thorax obsoletely sulcate and sjiaringly 

 punctured, elytra very strongly and closelv punctured, the interstices minutely 

 punctate. 



Length 2 lines. 



Of jiosteriorly widened shape, the head impunctate, eyes large, the frontal 

 tubercles oblique, rather small, antennae extending beyond the middle of the elytra, 

 flavous, the second and third joints small ; thorax one half broader than long, the sides 

 straight at the base, slightly rounded at the middle, the posterior margin obliquely 

 shajied at the sides, the disc with a transverse snlcation across the middle, nearly 

 extending to the sides, with a few tine punctures; elytra widened and strongly convex, 

 strongly, closely and somewhat rugo.sely punctured, with some other minute punctures 

 on the interstices ; the first joint of the posterior tarsi much longer than the following 

 joints; elytral epipleurae broad at the base, indistinct below the middle. 



Hab. Sangir (= f^angnir = Sanghi = Sangi).
