Rev. F. W. Hope on some new Insects collected in Assam. 439 
and Colonel Sykes. Lamia reticulator of Fabricius, which is remarkable for its 
penicillated antenne and truncate elytra, appears decidedly to belong to an- 
other genus not yet characterized. 
ANOPLOPHORA *, 
A new genus of Lamiade belonging to the third of my proposed sections. 
The following are its characters,

elongato. Thorax utrinque spinosus, medio depressus. Elytra antice et 
postice feré æqualia, apicibus rotundatis, Corpus infrà squamosum, pec- 
tore inermi. Pedes difformes et robusti, 
ANOPLOPHORA STANLEYANA.

Elytra nigro-ænea, nitida, maculis cœruleis aspersa. Corpus infrà conco- 
lor, segmentis abdominis postice nigro-piceis, femoribus squamosis colore

This magnificent insect I have named in honour of the President of the 
Linnean Society. It is almost impossible to convey by description an idea of 
the beauty of this species. Its external appearance is of a light beryl colour : 
when examined under the lens, it has the appearance of mother-of-pearl, and 
closely resembles the feathery scales of the Lepidoptera. 
The nature and causes of the colouring matter of insects is very imperfectly 
understood.
