364 H. S. GORHAM 



L. melanocephalus (Dej.), Harold is obviously a different species 

 from either this or .4. capitatus, having according to Harold a 

 distinctly 4-jointed club, and coarsely granulated eyes, and is 

 certainly not an Anadastus. It is from Java. 



.4. karenicuSj differs from its allies in many minute but very 

 evident points of structure. The antennae have a laxly articu- 

 lated 5-jointed club. If we compare these joints with the cor- 

 responding ones in .4. gagaticeps, it will be seen that they have 

 the four last nearly equally wide and not very much wider 

 than the eighth joint in A gagaticeps; the whole club is wider 

 and more widened from base to apex , so that the two pe- 

 nultimate joints are three times as wide as joint seven. The 

 thorax is dark ferruginous red; it is less contracted at the 

 base, and so squarer than in A. gagaticeps, and is less convex. 

 The abdomen is almost smooth in the middle, only the two 

 basal segments are at all clearly punctured , and that at the 

 sides. 



I was surprised to find it coming from Sumatra , but expe- 

 rience shows me, that these insects are not so local as is some- 

 times asserted. 



7. Anadastus gagaticeps, n. sp. 



A. karenico, Gorh. summa similitudine el calde a/finis, major, 

 elylris postici' magis altenuatis; niger capite profonde crebre punc- 

 tato, infra cam prol/toracc teslaceo-rufo, hoc minute vix visibiliter 

 panciuto, fere transverso , margine antico concolori; elylris sub- 

 melallico-viridibus apicibus sublruncatis 3 corpore subtus glabro, 

 abdomine paree disditele punctalo, lineis ventralibus lougis distiuctis, 

 haud mallo approximate. — Long. 6-7 millim. 



llaìt. Sumatra, Si Rambé (Modigliani). 



This differs from A. karenicus, Gorh. by the larger size, by 

 the elytra being of a green metallic tint , narrowed towards 

 their apex, by the anterior margin of the prothorax being con- 

 colorous ; and by the prothorax being perhaps a little shorter 

 (it is in most cases certainly a little wider than long), and by 

 the abdomen being (in those examples I have examined) clearly, 

 though sparsely and not deeply punctate.
