ON THE GENUS CHA.LCOCYBEBUS. 19 



NOTE IV. 



REMARKS ON THE CÜRCÜLIONID GENUS 

 CHALCOCYBEBUS 



Dr, K. M. HELLER. 



In my last paper ') I described a new species of Co- 

 leoptera from New Guinea, Astrolabe Bay, viz. Eurhynchus 

 superbus , supposing Aporhina hispinosa Boisd. to be iden- 

 tical with bispinosa Lac, which has four white spots on 

 each elytron. 



Since then I have made further studies on this genus 

 and my best thanks are due to Messrs. J. Faust, J. R. H. 

 Neervoort van de Poll, C. Ritsema, G. Severin, W. Roth- 

 schild and Dr. K. Jordan , for intrusting to me the spe- 

 cimens, in part typical ones, of their collections. Through 

 the kindness of these gentlemen I have been able to re- 

 cognize the following species and subspecies:
