Lenta hcematomelas , Lac. 



The Sumatran specimens before me, belong with one 

 exception to the var. a. of Lacordaire , in which the un- 

 derside and the antennae are entirely fulvous; in these 

 specimens , not only the anterior legs , as Lacordaire's de- 

 scription says, but all are of the same colour. The spe- 

 cies seems to vary greatly in this respect, the underside, 

 legs and antennae being either fulvous or black. I may 

 further add to the author's description that there is a more 

 or less distinct trace of another transverse thoracic depres- 

 sion anteriorly in all the specimens which have come under 

 my observation and which is frequently the case in other 

 species from the eastern parts of the world.
