50 ANTIPHA DILATICORNIS. 



longitudinal rather irregularly shaped testaceous band , 

 commencing at the base, pointed and di\dded near the apex, 

 extends to below the middle , this band nearly touches the 

 lateral but not the sutural margin. Below, with the ex- 

 ception of the legs and the middle of the abdomen , ful- 

 vous. 



In the variety, which is from Soeroelangoen , whereas 

 the specimen of the typical form has been captured at 

 Loeboe Gedang, the elytra are entirely black, the femora 

 are tinged with fulvous at the base , and the 2 impressions 

 at the thorax are almost absent. 



I have provisionally placed this insect in the genus 

 Antipha on account of its distinct prosternum , closed an- 

 terior coxal cavities and unarmed tibiae; the dilated inter- 

 mediate joints of the antennae would perhaps equally well 

 given it a place in the genus Emathea , the latter is 

 however of totally different habit, rotundate and convex. 

 Arcastes has similarly structured antennae , but the coxal 

 cavities in the latter genus are open and the tibiae mu- 

 cronate. The present insect differs from the others of this 

 genus by its dilated, not filiform antennae. 



Antipha Balyi, n. sp. 



Oblong, widened behind, reddish fulvous. Antennae and 

 tibiae black , three basal and the terminal joint of the 

 former testaceous. Thorax with 2 foveae. Elytra closely 

 and finely semipunctate-striate. — Length 2'/2 lines. 



Head impunctate , with an oblong central fovea and a 

 deep transverse groove between the antennae. Encarpae 

 nearly contiguous , carina narrowly oblong. Labrum and 

 jaws pale fulvous. Antennae two-thirds the length of the 

 body, the third joint of double the length of the second, black, 

 with the exception of the 3 basal and the last joint which are 

 testaceous. Thorax twice as broad as long, the anterior margin 

 straight, the posterior one rounded, sides very nearly straight , 

 anterior angles acute and slightly produced, surface with
