PACHYTERIA PRYERI. 185 



the prosternum with faint transverse wrinkles , the middle 

 part smooth, nearly impuuctate; the metasternum and legs 

 strongly, the abdomen finely and sparsely punctured; the 

 metasternum shows an impressed line along the middle, 

 and in its angles as well as in the hinder ones of the 

 abdominal segments a spot of greyish -yellow pubescence 

 is present; the hinder margin of the 5*h segment is nearly 

 straight (only very faintly and broadly emarginate) and 

 fringed with black hairs. 



The intercoxal part of the pro- and mesosternum for- 

 med as in the majority of the species, e.g. fasciata Fabr. 

 etc. (no tubercle and V-shaped impression). 



Hah. North Borneo : Elopura (W. B. Pryer). — A single 

 specimen in the collection of Mr. Pryer. 



In the extensive collections of insects presented to the 

 Leyden Museum by Dr. B. Hagen and brought together 

 by him in East Sumatra (district of Serdang) only a single 

 Pachyteria was found. This however belongs to a new 

 species to which I have attached the name 



Pachyteria H a g eni, n. sp. 



According to the description and figure this new spe- 

 cies is nearly allied to Pachyteria speciosa Pasc. (Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. London. 1866. p. 519; pi. 43, fig. 5), but 

 differs from it by the ochraceous (not scarlet) colour of 

 the basal half of the elytra, and by the dark colour of 

 the three basal joints of the antennae. 



Length from the frontmargin of the inter-antennary 

 ridge to the apex of the elytra 28V2 Dim. ; length of the 

 elytra 21 mm.; breadth at the shoulders QVs mm. ; breadth 

 across the thorax from point to point of the lateral tu- 

 bercles 7 mm. 



Nearly glabrous. Head bronzy green , with an ill-defined 

 red spot on the face above the clypeus and on the vertex;
