A NEW GENUS OF THE CETONID CIROUr 

 MACRONOTIDAE 



CHARACTERIZED BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



Fseitdochalcothe a , uov. gen. 



This geuus must be separated from the genus Chalcothea 

 such as it has been hitherto defined by myself, in conse- 

 quence of the distinctly margined sides of the pronotum 

 in both sexes , and of the different conformation of the 

 tibiae in the male: the anterior tibiae of this sex being 

 nearly straight on the inside, the intermediate ones for- 

 med nearly as the anterior tibiae in Chalcothea (sens, restr.), 

 the posterior ones provided on the inside of the base with 

 a strongly compressed and irregularly impressed appendage , 

 which extends a little behind the tip of the tibia itself; 

 moreover the undersurface of the middle- , and especially 

 that of the elongate hijid-tarsi is rather densely covered 

 with elongate hairs. 



These characteristics are derived from specimens (two 

 males and one female) sent over from Kotta Zuydewijn 

 near Solok (Sumatra) by Mr. J, H. Schagen van Leeuwen , 

 and belonging to the species which I described a few years 

 ago ^) under the name of Chalcothea Hasseltii However
