Rev. F. W. Hore on some new Insects collected in Assam, 441 
gricanti, fasciis binis ochraceis notato, primA ante medium disci posita 
atque ad suturam vix extensá, secundá integra at latiori. Corpus infra 
ochraceo-flavum, pubescentià subauratâ obsitum. Pedes femoribus fusco- 
flavis, tibiis tarsisque pallidioribus. 
This insect also inhabits Assam, and is in the collection of Mr. Solly. It is 
named in honour of its discoverer Mr. Griffith, an acute and enterprising 
botanist, author of a valuable memoir on the Development of the Ovulum of 
Santalum and Loranthus, printed in the 18th volume of the Society's Trans- 
actions. 
The clothing of this species I can only compare to an inferior velvet or a 
sort of plush ; when rubbed it exhibits the appearance of bronze, and in places 
it resembles a rose-coloured copper. It is remarkable for a peculiarity of 
colouring, which I regard as of very rare occurrence. [t appears as if the 
colouring matter of the second fascia had run, and had overwhelmed the black, 
the yellow-ochre taking its place.

Ruber ; antennis corpore duplo longioribus, thorace elytrisque nigro-maculatis, 
pedibus concoloribus. Caput anticè nigrum, postice rubrum. Antenne 
| longissime, nigre. Thorax disco rubro, spinis utrinque atris. Elytra 
rubra, humeris, scutello, maculisque variis nigris sparsim dispositis. 
Corpus infra nigrum, pectore, segmentis abdominis utrinquè rubro-ma- 
culatis. Pedes atri, plantis fusco-spongiosis. 
The above species, remarkable in its colouring, is also from Assam. I know 
of no species allied to it. The red colour, after the death of the insect, changes 
toa pale orange. I have seen some specimens so bleached by the light that 
casual observers would regard them as distinct species.
