District of Rawas (Sumatra-Expedition). — A single 

 specimen. 



Larger than A. Buqueti Lac, of different colour and more 

 finely punctured. 



Cftfptocephftlinae. 



Melixanthus bimaculicoUis , Baly. 



Of this species a single specimen , which is captured in 

 December at Bedar Alam, is contained in the collection. Mr. 

 Baly, on account of the want of the antennae in his specimen , 

 was in doubt whether the insect belonged to this genus. 

 In the specimen before me the antennae are complete and 

 with the exception of the first 3 joints which are fulvous, 

 of a black colour; they extend as far as the base of the 

 thorax, the terminal joints being short and thickened, 

 agreeing therefore with the other species of the present 

 genus. In the specimen from Sumatra the femora are also 

 black, the extreme base only being fulvous; in other 

 respects the insect agrees perfectly with the type. 



Melixanthus sumatrensis , n. sp. 



Fulvous. Head and antennae black. Thorax impunc- 

 tate. Elytra black, a transverse band at the middle, ab- 

 breviated at the suture, bright yellow. — Length P/^ line. 



Head deeply inserted in the thorax , blackish piceous , 

 depressed between the eyes and finely punctured. Labrum 

 flavous. Antennae extending to one third the length of 

 the elytra , entirely black , third and fourth joints of equal 

 length, the rest slightly thickened and shorter. Thorax
