unarmed, the tiist Joint of the posterior tarsi longer than the 

 following joints together, anterior cotyloid eavities closed. 



Hab. Madura. 



Allied to A. metallica Jac. from Borueo, but the head 

 entirely metallie green, tlie apical Joint of the antenuae blaok, 

 the thorax without punctures and tlie metatarsus of the 

 posterior legs much longer, the general size of the insect 

 also smaller; the female has a simple head and the third 

 and fourth joints of the antennae are of eqnal length. 



Sermyloides philippinensis sp. u. 



Oblong-ovate, convex, fulvoiis, the antennae and the four 

 anterior legs llavous, underside and posterior legs black, 

 tliorax impunctate, elytra rather strongly punctnred. 



Length 31/2 lines. 



Head impunctate, the frontal tubercles narrowly trans- 

 verse, antennae flavous, the second Joint extremely small, 

 moniliform, the third shorter than the fourth, like the following 

 Joints tlattened and of somewhat eiougate triangulär shape, 

 thorax narrowi}- transverse, the sides narrowed in front, the 

 anterior margin concave, the posterior one parallel, the anterior 

 angles oblique, the surfaee impunctate, fulvous, scutellum 

 broadly triangulär, fulvous, elytra convex, rather dosely and 

 strongly punctured; underside and the posterior legs black, 

 their tarsi fulvous, the four anterior legs flavous. 



Hab. Philippines. 



The shape and struetural characters of this species 

 agrees with tlie typical form S. hasalis Jac. from Sumatra 

 which is itself extremely variable in eoloration, but the shape 

 of the antennae in the present species of which I possess 

 a Single apparently female specimen differs from those of 

 the same sex in S. basalis in which the joints are not 

 flattened and widened and much less robust, moreover I have 

 not Seen amongst the many specimens from Sumatra I had 

 before me, one, coloured like the present insect in regard 

 to the legs. 



Buphonida philippinensis sp. n. 



Pale fuscous, closely pubescent, the intermediale joints 

 of the antennae black, head linely punctured, thorax short,
