Anadastus distinguendus n. sp. 



Ä. mdanosterni similitudiiie et stutura affinis, rufotestaceus 

 antenuis (basi excepta) geiiiculisque nigris, tarsis fuscis; eljtvis 

 nitidis fere iiigris, tenuiter pimetato-striatis, punctis minutis leviter 

 iiiipvessis; protlioracis latcribus inflexis et mesosterni epiineris 

 minus fortiter parum punetatis. Long. 5 millim. 



Hab. Soekaranda, Sinabong (Dohrn), Meutawei Island 

 (Mus. Genoa, Sipora). 



At first sight very Hke A. melanosternus, but ampl}^ 

 distinguished from it by the wholly red body ' beneath, the 

 antennae having one or two joints at the base reddish, also by 

 the much less coarse and less deuse punetuation of the reflexed 

 sides of the prothorax. and of the breast; and also immediately 

 by the hues of punctures on the elytra being much snialler, 

 and by the nearly wholly red legs, the knees and tarsi only 

 being infuscate. The elytra are also more narrowed towards 

 the apex and hence appear wider at their bases. Three examples. 



Obs. Anadastus (Langvria) riificeps Croteh from Japan 

 has the bind body black, besides other differences. It is by an 

 error that Harold states that the underside is wholly red, the 

 type is before me. 



Section B. Head and thorax red, abdomen black. 

 Anadastus propinquus. 



Languria propitiqua Crotch. Cist. Ent. 1876, p. 388. 



Sumatra (Wallace), Soekaranda and Liangagas (Dohrn). 



A small species, five to seven millimetres in length, too 

 briefly described by Crotch. The head and thorax are lightly 

 (the former more strongly) punctured, the basal striolae very 

 Short. The reflexed sides of the Ihorax, the metasternum and 

 episterna are coarsely punctate. The scutellum metasternum and 

 abdomen are black. The post-coxal lines long reaching across 

 the Segment.
