IMIYTOPHAGA FROM SUMATRA ^ I 1 



Padaiig. This is a, most variable species in regard to coloration 

 of which th{> following- varieties are before me. — 



a. The disc of the thorax nearly l)lack, the sides and the ante- 



rior margin fulvous; elytra ÌAsm., a narrow stripe near the 

 suture and the apex, ilavous. 



b. Thorax with two black spots, elytra with the sides anteriorly 



and a short, medially narrowed stripe from the base to the 

 middle, black (typical form). 



c. Elytra with a narrow transverse l)and at the base and a still 



narrow^er one Ijelow the middle. 



d. The upper surface pale fulvous without spots. 



Between these varieties there are also several intermediate degrees 

 of coloration. T. fasciata^ Lefév. is probably nothing but another 

 variety of the above species, agreeing nearly with the var. c. 



42. Cleorina ornata, n. sp. — Black, the basal joints of the 

 antennae and the legs fulvous, head and thorax fulvous, or ])lack, 

 the latter strongly punctured, elytra with basal depression, finely 

 punctate-striate , fulvous, the middle with a transverse black 

 ])and. 



Var. Above dark fulvous. 



Length 1 ^/^ line. 



Head sparingly but strongly punctured, fulvous as well as the 

 labrum, eyes very large, elongate, antennae slender, extending 

 to the middle of the elytra, black, the lower four joints fulvous 

 or Ilavous, third and fourth joints equal, terminal joints scarcely 

 thickened, elongate, thorax twice as })road as long, the sides 

 moderately and evenly rounded, slightly narrowed in front, the 

 surface strongly but remotely punctured, with a transverse sulcus 

 near the anterior margin, elytra with the base raised, l)ounded 

 below by a rather deep transverse depression, very finely punc- 

 tate-striate , with a row of deeper punctures at the sides in 

 front of the shoulders, the last two rows equally strong, the 

 interspace between raised into a longitudinal costa, legs fulvous, 

 the four posterior tibiae emarginate at the apex, the presternum 

 broad, the anterior margin of the thoracic episternum, convex, 



I Jab . Pangherang-Pisang.
