PACHYTERIA AFFINIS, 191 



and inconspicuously emarginate in the middle, in the fe- 

 male sex of P. Sclieepmaheri. Of P. dimidiata Westw. the 

 female sex is unknown to me. 



The intercoxal part of the pro- and mesosternum formed 

 as in the majority of the species , e. g. /asciata Fabr. etc. 

 (no tubercle and V-shaped impression). 



Hab. West Sumatra: Siboga. — A single specimen (9) 

 in the collection of Mr. Rene Oberthiir. 



Together with a new Callichromid from Tjilatjap (South 

 Java), which will be described- by me in the following 

 Note, Mr. W. Albarda presented to the Leyden Museum 

 a female specimen of 



Pachyteria a f f in i s Rits., 



a species described by me in 1881 in the 3i"^ volume of 

 this journal (p. 35) from a mutilated specimen in the 

 Leyden Museum, of which moreover the habitat was un- 

 known. I make use of this opportunity to complete my 

 former description of this species, the more so because 

 the male sex is represented in Mr. Rene Oberthür's mag- 

 nificent collection of Pachyteriae which at present is in 

 my hands. 



The specimens with which I am now acquainted (besi- 

 des the type four in number) are all from Java; of three 

 of them a more precise locality is known, viz.: Tjilatjap, 

 Buitenzorg and Mount Salak. 



They agree pretty well with my former description, and 

 the fact that in the type specimen the undersurface of the 

 body is uniformly covered with a silvery pile , which is not 

 restricted to lateral patches on the abdominal segments, 

 proves it to be a male specimen; consequently this is not 

 a specific character. 



Of the antennae the two first joints are bright brown , 

 the 3r<3 — 6th (and the extreme base of the 7*) yellow, the 

 7th_iith black or bluish black.
