Languria. Tlie great majoi-iij of tliese havo. red heads and 

 thoraces with blue or black eljtra; some have black heads, and 

 some few have the thoraces also black or brassy-blaek. 



The present seems to be a natural geuus, thc coarse eyes, 

 long and rather convex eljtra, absence of post-coxal lines, and 

 quite simple apices of the eljtra being common to a gronp of 

 hearly allied species, of which L. coarctata Crotch is the type. 

 Some species which I place in Stenodastus, have the eyes rather 

 coarsely facetted; they however are generally to be separated 

 by the short divaricating post-coxal lines characteristic of that 

 genus.

Soekaranda. 



This is a very common species in Sumatra and the Moluccas; 

 the type of L. pavida Har. is before me from New-Guinea and 

 is to be referred to this species. L. assamensis FoA^ler, from 

 India, Burma, Tenasserim and other mainland localities is very 

 close indeed, and is perhaps not distinct.

Soekaranda. 



The type of this is from New-Guinea. It is to be distinguished 

 from C. coarctata hy its large size, larger thorax more widened 

 in front, Avith the basal striolae linear, and approaching each 

 other towards the base (in L. coarctata they are almost puncti- 

 form). There are several examples of lliis in the Genoa Museum 

 from New-Guinea, Fly River. 



Anadastus. 



Anadastiis Gorhum. P. Z. S. Lond. 1887, j). 361. Ann. 

 Mus. Civ. Gen. 1896, p. 270. 



The Anadasti are for Ihu most purt small or middlesized 

 species, and are easily separated by their finely facetted eyes,
