210 SEBAETHE AFFINIS. 



tibiae curved , deeply longitudinally excavated ; posterior first 

 tarsal joint double as long as the two following united. 



This species seems closely allied to S. hadia Erichs. and 

 S. Jlava Clark , from both of which it differs in the colour 

 of the antennae which is the same in the 12 specimens 

 before me. From S. nigricornis Baly the species differs in 

 its much larger size and the more distinct punctation of 

 its elytra ; it is also found in Java. 



Eucyda varipes, n. sp. 



Rotundate-ovate , convex , obscure piceous or fulvous 

 below ; above fulvous ; antennae black , the 3 basal and the 

 apical joint fulvous ; legs piceous or fulvous ; thorax finely 

 punctured ; elytra closely punctate-striate. — Length 2 lines. 



Head longer than broad , impunctate , the frontal tuber- 

 cles almost contiguous and limited behind by a transverse 

 groove; carina acutely raised; labrum piceous; palpi ful- 

 vous; antennae about half the length of the body, the 

 first 3 joints fulvous , second and third joint of equal 

 length , the following slightly thickened , terminal joint 

 elongate with a short conical appendage , fulvous ; thorax 

 transverse , more than twice as broad as long , widened at 

 the middle, the posterior margin distinctly sinuate at each 

 side , the median lobe rounded and produced ; sides with 

 a narrow margin , nearly straight ; anterior angles oblique 

 and thickened ; surface very closely and finely punctured ; 

 elytra closely and distinctly punctate-striate , the striae 

 rather obsolete at the disk and near the lateral margin 

 arranged in one or two double rows, the space in front 

 and parallel with the lateral margin , impunctate , the lat- 

 ter itself accompained by a row of deep punctures which 

 are situated within a narrow but deep groove; elytral epi- 

 pleurae broadly concave. 



The genus Eucyda was founded by Mr. Baly on 2 in- 

 sects from the East, having the appearance of a species 

 of Sphaeroderma ; in the types the eyes are extremely large ,
