Joint: thorax more thaa twice as broad as long, the sides 

 neavly straight, the anterior angles slightly oblique, anterior 

 margin nearly straight, posterior one roiinded, the surface 

 sotnewhat eonvex, flavous, with a few tine punctures near 

 the anterior angles and at the disc, ^cutelkan tlavous, elytra 

 •with a slight depression near the suture, rather elosely and 

 diptinctly piinctiired in regulär rows which become more 

 obsolete near the apex, the base to the extend of one third 

 is occupied by a transverse black band interrupted by the 

 sutinal margin and slightly narrowed near that place.^ a 

 rounded spot is also placed below the middle, both these 

 markiugs are sHghtly edged with fulvous, the underside and 

 legs are flavous, the breast reddish fulvous more or less black

Hab. Java (^coUected by Mr. Fruhstorfer). 



Allied to A. iplagiata Alld. bul differing in the eolour 

 of the head and of the breast and in the more regulär 

 punctuatiou of the ely(ra, in some specimens the posterior 

 elytral spot is nearlv obsolete or of a dark fulvous eolour as 

 well as the sutural margin. 



Anthipha nigra Allard, 



The type of this species is of au eutirely black eolour 

 <^the autenuae excepted) and a variety described by M. Allard 

 has the apical third portion of the elj'tra rufous, I possess 

 however eight specimens from Borueo in which only the 

 base of the elytra is black, the rest being rufous, as I 

 canuol distinguish Ihese specimens in any other way from 

 the typical form I must look upon them as another variety, 

 similar in coloration to so many other species belonging to 

 diftereut genera iuhabiting the Malayan Islands. The species 

 is also found at Perak and Öingapoor. A very closely allied 

 (if not identical) species i.s A. abdominal h Jac. in which 

 however the cntire abdomeu is fulvous as well as the apex 

 of the elytra, but it is quite possible that A. nigra is but a 

 black variety of that species. 



Anthipha marginicoUis sp. n. 



Fulvous, Ihe inlermediale joiuts of the anteunae and the 

 tibiae and tarsi black. thorax nearly iminiuctate, margined 

 with black, elytra cou^ ex. metallic dark greeu, lincly and 

 closely puüt'tured.
