spine; first posterior tarsal joint as long as the two following 

 united. 



Sumatra, Mt. Singalafng (0. Beccari). 



Easily distinguished by its colouration; this species was ob- 

 tained in more than thirty specimens. 



29. Splirieroniotoi>a, cli.scoiclalis, n. s^x 



Black below; head and four basal joints of the antennae, 

 fulvous; two apical joints of the latter lestaceous; thorax black; 

 elytra testaceous, a longitudinal Ijand on the disk of each ely- 

 tron and the suture near the apex, black. 



Var. the suturai spot absent. Var. h. breast and abdomen 

 testaceous. 



Length 2 Y2 lines. 



Head impunctate , transversely grooved between the eyes ; la- 

 brum and palpi black or testaceous; third and fourth joints of 

 the antennae equal , the following slightly widened, black, two 

 terminal joints testaceous; thorax transverse, more than twice 

 as broad as long, the sides nearly straight, very narrowly mar- 

 gined , anterior angles somewhat thickened and oblique , surface 

 entirely impunctate , black ; scutellum triangular , black ; elytra 

 ovate , convex , scarcely visibly or very finely punctured , testa- 

 ceous , a large and broad longitudinal band occupies nearly the 

 entire disk, leaving the margins only of the testaceous ground 

 colour, this band is widest at the base and terminates in a 

 point; a triangular shaped black spot is placed at the apex 

 across the suture; presternum distinct, widened posteriorly. 



Hab. Java, Tcibodas, October (0. Beccari). 



Although the presternum in this species is more developed 

 than is generally the case in the present genus, I cannot find 

 any other structural dilt'erences to justify a separation ; the two 

 specimens obtained differ somewhat in colouration; in one of them 

 the labrum and palpi are black and a similarly coloured spot 

 occupies the suturai margin at the apex , in the other this is 

 absent and liie labrum and palpi are testaceous. In two speci-
