Ortalia Maeklini. 



Ortalia Maeklini, Muls. Op. in. p. 130 (1853). 



I have referred an Ortalia common throughout the East Indian 

 Archipelago, to this species. It is very like E. calliops but 

 smaller, more strongly pubescent, the eyes more finely granulated 

 and less approximated, the forehead appears somewhat concave. 

 L. 1| — 3 lin. Malacca, Penang, Singapore, Sumatra, Java, 

 Borneo, Sarawak (Wallace). 



Ortalia scabrosa, sp. n. 



Brownish red, ovate, unicolorous, punctuation of the elytra 

 coarse and scabrous on the disc, finer towards the sides ; thorax 

 coarsely punctured ; metasternum very coarsely and roughly punc- 

 tured especially at the sides, ventral segments roughly but more 

 sparingly punctured. L. 2^ lin. Macassar (Wallace). 



Ortalia proxima, sp. n. 



Intermediate between the last two species, but differing from 

 0. Maeklini by the ovate form and dark red colour, ' from 0. 

 scabrosa by the less developed punctuation, which however shows 

 signs of the same characteristics. L. 2^ lin. Menado (Wallace). 



Ortalia Wallacii, sp. n. 



Shortly ovate, bluish-black, head, thorax (with a black spot in 

 the centre of the base), elytra at the apex, legs, abdomen and 

 prosternum orange; thorax closely punctulate ; elytra purplish, 

 clothed with a whitish pubescence, thickly and unequally punctate, 

 the coarse punctures deep and apparent, body beneath punctate. 



L. 2 lin. Aru, Salwalty (Wallace). 



Prodilis. 



Muls, Spec. p. 898 (typ. pallidifrons). 

 Punctuation of the elytra coarse, very unequal, sparse, thorax 

 margined at the base, eyes large, finely granulated, abdominal 

 plates complete, covering half the segment, the mesial process of 

 the first ventral segment deeply sinuate. Epipleurse subfoveolate 

 and acuminate at two-thirds. 



Prodilis pallidifrons.
