Since the publication of my description above referred to, I 

 have ascertained that C. ceneoniicans is but a minor variety of 

 L. metalUfer, Boisd. (loc. cit.), the type specimen of which is in 

 the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes ; the female, however, had 

 not previously been described. With reference to the armature of 

 the tibiae of the females in this genus, Mr. Hope was evidently in 

 error in characterizing them as having the four posterior unarmed 

 (vid. Cat. p. 5) ; the contrary is found to be invariably the case, 

 each of them being provided with a single spine. 



Cyclommatus Maitlanbi ^, Parry ($ ignota). 

 (PI. XII. fig. 4.) 



C. purpureo-ffineus, sparse cinereo-squamosus ; capite maximo ; 

 antennis pedibusque nigris ; mandibulis incurvatis, ad basim 

 xmidentatis, apicibus furcatis, denticulis 3 vel 4 instructis.

Hab. Ins. Nias, (Sumatrae occid.) 



Specimen unicum. Mus. Soc. Zool. Amstelod. 



The extraordinary size of the head of this species, in com- 

 parison with the prothorax and body, is most remarkable; in this 

 respect it somewhat resembles C. faun'icolor, Hope (vid. Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. iv. 273), but differs from it and all the other species of the 

 genus by its rich dark purple colour. 



For the description and figure of this new species I am in- 

 debted to Mr. Maitland, the obliging Curator of the Zoological 

 Society's establishment at Amsterdam ; it forms part of a very 

 interesting collection of Colcoptera I recently had the pleasure of 

 inspecting under his kind auspices.
