Coelophora desolata.* 



Lemnia desolata, 21 ids. Spec. p. 387. 8 (T). 



Australia (Hope). This is a suffused form of some species 

 I have not seen. 



Mulsant also describes two other species, L. melanota and L. 

 Jra/udtdenta; both are immature specimens of one or other of the 

 previously described species. This state is not rare, and is at first 

 very embarrassing ; but the colours are always shaded and not 

 distinct. 



Coelophora pulchra, sp. n. 



Black, head rufescent; thorax thickly punctulate, interstices 

 alutaceous, the anterior angles broadly and the margins very nar- 

 rowly red ; elytra red, suture, margins, and two transverse fascia? 

 black; the anterior fascia at one-third (acutely dentate towards 

 the callus), the posterior at two-thirds (also slightly dentate), the 

 first is broadest near the suture, the second near the external 

 margin; the legs and two spots on the inner edge of the epipleurae 

 pale red; punctuation well marked, uniform. L. ±1 lin. 



Malasia (Ceram, Waigiou, Aru, M....) Wallace. 



Coelophora arnensis, sp. n. 



This differs principally in coloration. Head pale red ; thorax 

 red with the sides narrowly margined with black, and the base 

 with two semicircular black spots (one on either side the scutel- 

 lum, which is black), elytra margined with black, the suture very 

 narrowly edged with black at the base and apex, then suddenly 

 dilated, leaving a large square common black spot, a little beyond 

 one-third. L. 4 J lin. Ins. Aru (Wallace). 



Coelophora formosa, sp. n. 



Head red, thorax black, anterior margin narrowly reddish 

 yellow; elytra red, margin and br.se black, a broad fascia at one- 

 third, and the apical fourth black (these two markings connected 

 by a black line along the suture) ; legs, abdomen, and the epipleune 

 for the most part reddish-yellow. L. 4 lin. Ins. Menado 

 (Wallace). These three species are at once distinct by their large 

 size, and are closely related to each other. The colouring is almost 

 exactly that of the species of Leis from the same locality. 



Coelophora circumusta. 



Artemis circumusta, Muls. Spec. p. 389. 1. 

 Artemis rufula, Mids. Spec p. 389. 2. 

 Art* mi* memdourina, Mids. spec. p. 390. 3. 

 These three forms differ, as Mulsant supposed, only in colour. 

 It seems generally rare. Hongkong (B.M., Stockholm, Hope).
