120 LEIS. 



Leis manillana. 



Carta manillana, Mills. Men. p. 170. 7 (T). 



Leis atrocincta, Mids. Mon. p. 175. 4 (T). 



Philippine Isl. (Deyrolle, B.M., Berlin). A very Variable 

 species, if the forms that I have thrown together are really refer- 

 able to one specific type, as I cannot but suppose from their precise 

 structural similarity. 



Var. a. manillana. 



Reddish-orange, head and thorax paler ; scutellum black; elytra 

 margined all round with a very narrow black margin, an obo- 

 vate spot on the sutural edge of the callus, and irregular indica- 

 tions of a fascia just before the middle and at two-thirds, black; 

 epipleurse with the outer edge and apical third black. L. 4 lin. 

 Manilla (Deyrolle). 



Var. /3. atrocincta. 



Hemispherical, orange-red, head and thorax paler; base of 

 thorax very narrowly and irregularly black ; scutellum black ; elytra 

 with a broad black margin from the humeral angle to the apex, 

 this border narrowest at the base, broader just below the callus, 

 and markedly broader at two-thirds, continuing equal till it reaches 

 the suture ; the external edge of the epipleurje and their apical one- 

 third black. L. 4 lin. Manilla (Berlin, B. M.). 



"Var. y. Mniszechii. 



Thorax with the central third black, narrowing towards the 

 front elytra with a black spot on the callus, another discoidal near 

 the suture befoi-e the middle; the scutellum and margins broadly 

 black, extending over the apical third in a straight line to the 

 suture. Mindanao (Mniszech). 



Var. 8. inco?npleta. 



Ochreous, thorax black, sides broadly ochreous, scutellum black, 

 elytra with three subtriangular black spots (one basal reaching 

 the callus, one a little before the middle, one beyond the middle 

 markedly triangular), the second and third spots hardly visible on 

 the epipleurje. L. 4 lin. Philippines (London). 



Leis Paulinae. 



Neda Paulina?, Muls. Mon. p. 203. 17. 



Scarcely separable from Docimocaria Cvmingii, except by the 

 generic characters. Reddish-orange, hemispherical ; scutellum and 

 a small dot on the base of the thorax opposite it, black; elytra each 

 with three subqxiadrate black dots, two marginal (one before the 

 middle, one at two-thirds, the second visible on the epipleurje), one 

 discoidal near the suture, in a line with the first marginal; these 

 two might probably form a fascia. L. 4 lin. Manilla (Deyi-olle, 

 Mniszech). 



J have not seen the type of this, but the description is exact.
