VESTA URENS. 



NOTE n. 

 TOO NEW SPECIES OF LAMPYRIDAE 



DESCRIBED BY 



the Rev. H. S. GORHAM. 



1. Vesta urens, sp. n. 



Nigrp-fumosa , opaca; prothorace, corpore infra, coxis et 

 trochanteribus rufis , scutello (maris) infuscato , pedibus 

 nigris. — Long. 10 millim. cf. 



Mas , antennis flabellato-pectinatis , prothorace antice 

 sinuato-producto ; abdominis segmento ultimo ventrali medio 

 mucronato. 



Hab. Borneo (S. Muller); 9? Sumatra (Ludeking, S. 

 Muller). 



So closely resembling the species described by me as 

 V. sumatrensis (Notes from the Leyden Mus. Vol. IV. p. 

 102) that it will be sufficient to call attention to the 

 yellow body. The specimens from Sumatra have the scu- 

 tellum yellow , and may perhaps not be distinct fr-om 

 V. sumatrensis, but the male from Borneo I have little 

 doubt is so. It is a more elongate, and more opaque 

 insect. From small specimens of Cratolampis (P yrocoelia) 

 rujiventris Motsch. the pectinate antennae , as well as the 

 thorax without translucent areolets amply distinguish 

 this species.
