reprt'sents only a pale variety I am unable to say with certainty, 

 but I have apj)arently a mak^ and female specimen before me, 

 Nvhicli differ in tlir structure of the antennae from .1. aj)ici/ie:i. 

 In the male, the second and third joints are short and very 

 nearly equal , the fourth and following joints are opaque and 

 pubescent and very elongate, as long as the basal three joints 

 together, the apex of the terminal joint is })lack as in .4. apicipes; 

 in the female , the third joint is also shorter than the cor- 

 responding joint in A. apicipes; the thorax is similar, but the 

 elytra are more strongly punctured and the interstices more 

 wrinkled, lastly, tlie entire underside and the legs are flavous 

 and the locality dilfors also from that of the allied species. 



lol. Anthipha variabilis, .lac — A single specimen was obtained 

 by Dr. Modigliani ( Pangherang-Pisang) which belongs to an 

 entirely black variety in I'egard to the upper and under surface, 

 the antennae and tarsi alone being pale fulvous in colour, I 

 find that specimens in good condition are clothed with distinct 

 fulvous pubescence at the elytra, which was absent in the spe- 

 cimens which served me for the type. The insect is subject to 

 great variation in regard to colour. 



Vò"!. Anthipha cruciata, n. sp. — Fulvous, thorax short and 

 transverse, inipiuictate, black, elytra convex, finely and closely 

 punctured, re;ldish-fulvous , the margins narrowly and a broad 

 transverse band at the middle, black. 



Var. a. Black above and below , the elytra with an obscure 

 fulvous sjKjt before and another below the middle. 



Var. h. I5lack, Ihe disc of the (dytra fulvous. 



Var. c. Fulvous, the tibiae black. 



Var. (/. Testaceous, the thorax with tv.o, the elytra with five 

 black spots {±±1.). 



Length 2 V4 lines. 



Of ovate and convex shape, extremely variabl»- in n^gar.l to 

 coloration , the head impunctate , fulvous , the frontal tubercles 

 narrow, transverse, clypeus triangular, the vertex with a round 

 fovea at the middle, antennae slender, extending to the middle 

 of the elytra. Ila\(ius. the basal joint often st.-iined v, ith j)iceous.
