I'llYTOPUAGA FROM SUMATRA 417 



tallied ill the present collection, the head is ratiicr strongly and 

 closely punctured with a more or less deep longitudinal fovea, 

 and the legs are either piceous or dark fulvous, as well as the 

 underside; in the type the legs are black; some small differences 

 are perceptible in regard to sculpture in the Sumatran specimens 

 obtained by Dr. Modigliani but I do not think these to l}e of 

 specific value but due. to local variation.

 blue or aeneous, the antennae fulvous, the terminal joints ])lack,
