56 OCHRALEA MARGINATA. 



as the body , filiform , second and third joints short , of 

 nearly equal length. Thorax scarcely twice as broad as 

 long, lateral and posterior margin evenly rounded, the 

 anterior angles slightly thickened, surface with a sinuate 

 shallow depression extending nearly across the entire disk , 

 very closely and finely punctured. Scutellum black , trian- 

 gular. Elytra convex , very finely and closely punctured , 

 inner margin of the epipleurae black. First posterior tar- 

 sal joint as long as half the tibia , the latter with a dis- 

 tinct thorn. Claws appendiculate. 



Two specimens from Soeroelangoen (Sumatra-Expedition). 



The closed anterior coxal cavities , structure of the an- 

 tennae, the tibiae which are all armed with a spine, and 

 the long metatarsus, show this species to belong to the 

 above genus , although in shape it resembles much the in- 

 sects forming the genus Luperodes. 



Theopea ohliterata , n. sp. 



Elongate, obscure testaceous. Tibiae piceous. Thorax 

 fulvous , biimpressed , impunctate. Elytra violaceous blue , 

 obsoletely longitudinally costate, the interstices very finely 

 punctured. — Length 2'/2 lines. 



This species can easily be distinguished from T. impressa 

 Fabr. by its different coloured antennae , which are entirely 

 testaceous , and by the finely costate and punctured elytra 

 which are not transversely reticulate as in the allied spe- 

 cies , and have their epipleurae also fulvous , not blue. 



Two specimens of this species have been collected at 

 Moeara Laboe (Sumatra-Expedition). 



Neocharis fulvicoUis , Jacoby. 



This genus was founded by myself (Proceed. Zool. Soc. 

 London. 1881) on two specimens from Java , differing from
