I do not think that this species is identical either with S. badia 

 Erichs. or /S. Jlava Clark both of which are unknown to me. 

 Erichson describes his species with a finely punctured thorax 

 and fuscous apical joints of the antennae; Clark's species is de- 

 scribed as having underside and legs of a rufous-fuscous colour; 

 as the localities are also dill'erent and all my specimens with 

 the exception of one have the apical portion of the elytra fu- 

 scous , I think I am right in considering the present insect as 

 specifically distinct. 



41. Selbaetlxo violacei pennis, n, sp. 



Flavous; posterior femora, breast and abdomen black; elytra 

 metallic blue or violaceous, impunctate. 



Length 3 hues. 



Head impunctate, transversely grooved between the eyes; 

 frontal tubercles flattened and indistinct; antennae slender, fla- 

 vous ; the first joint rather robust and slightly curved, second , 

 short, thii'd and following joints equal, more than twice as long 

 as the second; thorax transverse, of equal width, the sides 

 rounded and narrowly margined , surfiice impunctate ; scutellum 

 black; elytra widened towards the middle, impunctate or with 

 slight traces of punctures near the apex only ; underside of the 

 thorax , the upper part of the breast and the legs , flavous ; ab- 

 domen and the posterior femora black. 



Now Guinea, Ramoi (L. M. D'Albertis); Ternate (0. Beccari). 



Easily distinguished by its rather large size and colouration. 



42. Sebaethe pallida, n. sp. 



Oblong, entirely pale testaceous; head and thorax impunctate; 

 elytra extremely finely punctured. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head scarcely longer than broad, deeply grooved between 

 the eyes; the latter large and prominent; frontal tubercles very 

 strongly raised, transversely shaped, labrum fulvous; antennae
