Java: Papandajan, at SiGO ft., in the crater {Q-. E. Bri/aiif), 1 

 ex., $ , in mj collection. 



Bemhidium incisum, sp. nov. 



Length 4 mm. ; width 1'5-1'G mm. 



Aeneous, liere and tliere faintly purple, underside black with greenish 

 reflections: head bright metallic-green on each side between frontal grooves 

 «nd e^es, buccal organs, palpi, joints 1-4 of antennae, an apical-lateral spot on 

 each elytron, and legs flavous. 



Head flat, dull, coarsely shagreened (except at sides), eyes only moderately 

 prominent, frontal grooves reduced to little more than a puncture at each end of 

 clypeal suture, but tlie bright metallic sides form a ridge on each side, inter- 

 rupted by front supra-orbital pore, doubled behind and extending to hind-eye 

 level. Trolhorax cordate, nearly half as wide again as long, base slightly pro- 

 duced in middle, sides gently rounded and sinuate shortly before the rectangular 

 hind angles, basal foveae fairly deep, bounded outwardly by a very slight 

 carina, apex longitudinally striate, base rather coarsely punctate, surface finely 

 siiagreened, but moderately shiny. Elytra short, ovate, shin}', moderately 

 convex, punctate-striate, the striae deep, the punctures rather tine, 1-4 deep to 

 apex, 6-7 very deep at base, faint on apical half, apical stria deep, intervals 

 moderately convex, 7-8 almost carinate close to base, a deep depression on each 

 el^'tron at basal fourth, covering intervals 2-5, the effect of which is to push 

 the striae a little outwards at this point, interval 3 with a deep rounded pore 

 at middle, which occupies not only the whole interval, but a portion of the two 

 adjacent ones, and a second rather smaller one at apical fLiurth, the testaceous 

 spot at apical third a little transverse and covering intervals 5-8, a few long 

 setae issuing at sides from marginal pores. 



Evidently allied to B. opidentinn Nietn., but much more roughly 

 sculptured, the coloration brighter, the elytra shiny, the testaceous spot 

 of different shajje and at a third from apex. Head narrower, side ridges 

 very shiny, more developed, and doubled behind ; prothorax with more 

 gently rounded sides, less contracted behind, striate in front, and with 

 strongly punctured base ; elytra ver}^ uneven, the striae deeper, strongly 

 depressed at basal third, pores on interval 3 much deeper. 



Cambodia : Kompong Kedey, 1 ex., and Laos : Xieng Khouang, 

 1 ex. {R. Vitalis de Salcaza). To2«^Ki>^, 1 ex. {coll. Fleutiaux). Type 

 in the British Museum. 



It is curious that a single specimen should have been found in each 

 of three different Provinces of Indo- China. 



Bemhidium Icara, sp. nov. 



Length 5-6-25 mm. ; width l'8-2*4 mm. 



Black, very shiny, head and prothorax with greenish reflections, elytra very 

 dark blue, slightly iridescent; buccal organs, joint 1 of antennae, and tarsi 

 piceous.
