otlicr tribes of the animal kinf.nloin. In tlie present species the 

 apical joints of the anti'imae are a^-aiii different from those of 

 the type in having ulong-ate, not tliickcned joints and the meta-

 I see no reason to separate tlie species generically from its 

 allies.

In the female, the head is much narrower and the antemiae 

 are much shorter ; a female from Sumatra contained in my col- 

 lection has the base of the elytra stained with ])iceous, also 

 similarly coloured legs and in aiiothi'r variety obtained by 

 Dr. Modigliani, the head and thorax ar(> nearly black, i>ut in 

 other respects these specimens agree : tlu' structure of the an-
