spariogly clothed witli short grey pubeseence: legs violaceous, 

 underside obscure cupreons. clothed witli long pubescenee. 

 Hab. Borneo. 



Tlie Single specimen which I possess of this species is 

 quite distinct from the majority of its oongeners, on account 

 of the verv linely punctured head and the remote punctuation 

 of the thorax, the width of the latter and the general dull 

 aeueous colouv of the upper surface in connection with that 

 of the lea:s ect. 



Heteraspis celebensis sp. n. 



Metallic green, clothed with long white pubescenee, basal 

 joints of the antennae fulvous, thorax subquadiate closely 

 rugose-punctate, elytra coarsely and closely rugosely punctu- 

 red, the interstices tinely punctate.

Head tlat. closely obliquely strigose at the sides, witii a 

 short cupreous gioovc at the middle, the clypeus strougly 

 punctured, its anterior margin slightly eniarginate, labrum and 

 palpi nearly black, antennae black, the baeal Joint metallic 

 green, the following two joints fulvous. fhird and fourth 

 joints nearly equal, terminal joints bul slightly widened; tho- 

 rax tiansverse, subquadrate, the sides straight, the surface 

 with a distinct tubercle near the anterior angles, clothed 

 with long greyish pubescenee, ver}' closely rugose-punctate at 

 the sides, the disc closely but not rugosely punctured. 

 scutellum obscure cupreous, elytra much broader than the 

 ihorax. the Shoulders very prominent, the surface much more 

 coarsely and strongly punctured than the thorax, the inter- 

 stices also minutely punctured: underside and legs slightly 

 less metallic than tlie upper surface, scarcely punctured. 



Hab. Celebes. 



The specimens contained in my collection were examined 

 and named by Lefevie but not described to my knowledge; 

 the species is very closely allied to the well known H. hirtus 

 Eab. from which it seems to difler in the longer antennae 

 and the more strongly and rugosely punctured upper surface, 

 the general colour above is also less bright, of a darker green 

 and the thorax is but little metallic, owing to the dense 

 pubescenee; in one specimen the labrum is not black but 

 cupreous.
