A CLINTERIA HAGENI. 



clot ou the middle of the apical half at some distance from 

 the suture. Pygidium transversely scratched , sparingly 

 covered with short pale bristles , and provided with a small 

 vrhite spot at each side. Under surface and legs strongly 

 punctured and sparingly covered with short pale bristles; 

 mesosternal process short, conical; three small white dots 

 on the sides of the mesosternum , and two rows of simi- 

 lar spots on each side of the abdomen. Anterior tibiae 

 with two acute lateral teeth of which the median one is 

 less developed than the ante-apical one. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this pretty species 

 to Dr. B. Hagen , who has captured the described speci- 

 men at Tandjong Morawa in the district of Serdang (East 

 Sumatra). 



According to a communication of Mr. J. W. van Lans- 

 berge who has seen my specimen , this species is closely 

 allied to Clinteria moerens G. & P. of Ceylon; it is repre- 

 sented in his own collection by specimens from Java which 

 show however some slight differences. 



2. Glycyphana venusta^ n. sp. 



Length 11 mm. — Black; above velvety, head and 

 under surface of the body with the legs shining. Head , 

 the clypeus included , strongly punctured , the latter emar- 

 ginate at the front margin , the lobes broadly rounded ; 

 the vertex of the head provided with two small white 

 spots. The anterior half of the thorax densely covered 

 with fine punctures , on the basal region the punctures 

 are wide apart; the basal angles of the thorax red-margi- 

 ned , and the disk at some distance from the front margin 

 provided with two white points. Scutellum rather broadly 

 triangular (as in the allied Swainsonii G. & P.) , not elon- 

 gate triangular (as in Macquartii G. & P. , sumatrensis 

 Voll. and rugipennis Rits.). Elytra with three or four ab- 

 breviated striae parallel to the suture, beyond punctate, 

 the punctures arranged in rather regular longitudinal rows ;
