C8 ORECTOCHILUS SUTURALTS. 



suddenly iuto two equal, transversely confluent lobes and 

 a second time at the middle into a third single similar 

 lobe, and finally it attains the suture in an oblique di- 

 rection towards the three fourths of its length ; these three 

 lobes are rounded, rather narrow, and directed forwards. 

 The tibia is slightly curved. 



Hab, Java (Blume). 



The Leyden Museum only possesses a single 9 specimen 

 of this species which is especially remarkable by the pat- 

 tern on the elytra; in the male this pattern must be so- 

 mewhat different.

This beautiful species is closely allied to Orectochilus hi- 

 costatus Bohem. but differs from it by the following cha- 

 racteristics: the costa of the elytra not exceeding two thirds 

 of their length ; the glossy sutural region not exceeding 

 the same point in the Q, and in the (ƒ hardly attaining 

 one fourth of their length , whereas in the other species it 

 is of equal length in both the sexes and reaches at least
