This species dillers in coloration from most of its conj^oners, 

 wiiicli ai-e nearly all of metallic colour, C. castanea, Lefèv. jjeing 

 the only exception, but the m'esent insect seems subject to great 

 variation in that respect, aS'the thorax is eitlier black or fulvous 

 and tiie elytra sometimes devoid of the black jjand , this latter 

 is broad, slightly oblique and extends upwards a little way to 

 the suture, or the latter and the lateral margins are narrowly 

 black. 



43. Cleorina nigrita, n. sp. — P)lack, the base of the antennae 

 and the legs more or less fulvous, head finely, thorax strongl\ 

 and remotely punctured, elytra with basal depression, finely 

 punctate-striate. 



Fern. (?). Elytra with two short costae at the sides below the 

 shoulders. 



Length 1 ^2 ^i'^G. 



I must separate this species from its allies on account of the 

 sculpture of the thorax and system of coloration, which is nearly 

 black or I)luish-black , the head is very sparingly and finely 

 punctured, the antennae are rather long and slender and have 

 the ìjasal four joints entirely fulvous ; the thorax is very remo- 

 tely but rather strongly punctured, the punctures do not how- 

 ever extend to the margins, there is also the usual transverse 

 anterior and posterior groove , the elytra have a very distinct 

 transverse depression l)elow the base and are finely punctate- 

 striate, the punctures being distinct to the apex, lastly the legs 

 are more or less tiavous as well as the tarsi. 



The species was obtained at l^angherang-Pisang , and I also 

 possess it from Perak, in one of these specimens from the latter 

 locality, the liead, thorax and legs are entirely fulvous, in tlie 

 other (probably the female) the elytra have two short costa at 

 the sides, l)ut they agree in everything else with the Sumatra 

 specimens. 



44. Cleorina {>iod(>6i()tna) aeneomicans, I'.aly ^miiirii, Pefèv. — 

 This seems to be again a very variable sjK'cies, there are 



s})ecimens ì)efòre me of dark l)lue, aeneous, metallic green and 

 purplish colour, and the punctuation of the thorax seems equally
