Miltina dilatata , Chap. 



The only specimen contained in the collection differs 

 from the type in regard its colour in the following way. 

 The underside , legs , antennae , head and thorax are black, 

 the elytra dark fulvous , margined with black. In the ab- 

 sence of other specimens I am unable to say whether I have 

 a variety or new species before me. In structural charac- 

 ters the specimen agrees with those contained in my col- 

 lection. — The specimen has been captured at Agam 

 (Sumatra-Expedition).
