46 CEROPHYSA SUMATRENSIS. 



cond one, tlie rest gradually thickened and widened, of 

 almost square shape. Thorax subquadrate, slightly broader 

 than long , the sides nearly straight , posterior angles round- 

 ed , entirely obsolete , surface with a narrow transverse 

 rather obsolete depression more distinctly marked at each 

 end than at the middle , disk entirely impunctate , shining 

 fulvous with a slight metallic greenish gloss. Scutellum 

 broad , its apex obtusely rounded. Elytra scarcely widened 

 behind , subdepressed above , very finely and closely punct- 

 ured, their epipleurae extending to nearly the apex. Legs 

 unarmed , first posterior tarsal joint as long as the two 

 following ones together. Claws appendiculate. Anterior 

 coxal cavities open. 



Specimens from Solok , the District of Rawas and Leboug 

 (Sumatra-Expedition). 



Although this species belongs evidently to the above ge- 

 nus on account of the robust antennae and similarly sha- 

 ped thorax , the different colour of all the specimens before 

 me prevent me in considering them the female sex of C. 

 viridipennis. As all the insects are of this sex I cannot 

 say whether the antennae show the same structure in the 

 male as in the type. 



Luperodes scuteUatus , n. sp. 



Oblong-ovate, testaceous. Breast and scutellum black. 

 Terminal joints of the antennae and the tarsi obscure pi- 

 ceous. Thorax impunctate. Elytra scarcely visibly punct- 

 ured. — Length 2 lines. 



Head impunctate , encarpae rather flattened , subconti- 

 guous , carina acute. Labrum black. Antennae two-thirds 

 the length of the body, testaceous, 3 or 4 terminal joints 

 obscure piceous , third joint double the length of the se- 

 cond. Thorax subquadrate, scarcely broader than long, 

 the sides straight at the base, slightly rounded towards 

 the middle, posterior margin obliquely cut near the angles,
