NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 193 



7. Ilenia, liistrio, Clark. 



Celebes (0. Beccari) ; Timor Cupang , March (L. M. D' Al- 

 bertis). 



1 refer two specimens from the above localities to varieties 

 of Clark's species, although the author mentions India and Siam 

 as the « habitat » . Except in the shape of the elytral markings 

 which consist of a black spot at the shoulder, another near the 

 scutellum and a large transversely shaped spot near the apex, 

 the specimens do not seem to differ from Clark's species. The 

 underside in the specimen from Timor is black , the legs and 

 antennae are fulvous; the one from Celebes is fulvous below, 

 the two basal and terminal joints of the antennae are of the 

 same colour, in other respects the two insects agree. 



8. Orioeeris celebensis, n. sp. 



Fulvous; intermediate joints of the antennae, black, apical 

 joints pale flavous ; head and thorax impunctate ; elytra piceous, 

 shining, suturai and lateral margin and the apex, fulvous; sur- 

 face deeply transversely depressed below the base , basilar space 

 with five rows of deep punctures extending to the depression 

 only , rest of the disk with the exception of an entire row of 

 punctures parallel with the suture, entirely impunctate; tibiae 

 and tarsi obscure piceous , covered like the rest of the surface 

 with thick golden yellowish pubescence. 



Length 4 lines. 



Celebes, Kandari (Beccari). 



This species of which only a single specimen is before me , 

 is without doubt closely allied to C. obliterala Baly, from which 

 it may be at once distinguished by the colour of the two apical 

 joints of the antennae, that of the elytra and by the totally 

 impunctate disk of the latter. The antennae in the present spe- 

 cies are also longer, of nearly half the length of the body and 

 the thorax shows no trace of punctures.
