NOTE V. 



A NEW GENUS AND NEW SPECIES 



OF LANGURIIDAE FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE 



LEYDEN MUSEUM. 



DtSCKIBED BY 



the Rev. W. W. FOWLER. 



Among a number of Languriidae sent to me for exami- 

 nation by Herr Ritsema, I have found several very inte- 

 resting species. The most interesting to myself vp-as a spe- 

 cimen of the handsome Compsolanguria concinna which I 

 have lately described (with figure) in the Transactions of 

 the Entomological Society of London, 1886, Prt. Ill, p. 

 315; the only other specimen hitherto known is in the 

 collection of the British Museum ; the Leyden Museum 

 specimen is labelled » America meridionalis , S*e Paulo d'Oli- 

 ven9a , M. de Mathan , Mai 1883." Other species worth men- 

 tioning are Callilanguria Wallacei Crotch , hitherto almost 

 unique (a^ specimen from Borneo : Dr. Schwaner) , Langu- 

 riosoma Brooki Crotch (three specimens from East Sumatra : 

 Dr. B. Hagen) , Oxjjlanguria acutipennis Crotch (a specimen 

 from East Sumatra: Dr. B. Hagen), Languria cuveiformis 

 Crotch (a specimen from East Sumatra : Dr. B. Hagen) , 

 and Languria Calabarensis , a species lately described by 

 myself from Western Africa (a specimen from Liberia : 

 Biittikofer). ' The majority of the specimens consisted of the 

 very puzzling forms withj red thorax and cyaneous elytra 

 which are so characteristic of the fauna of the Philippine 

 Islands, Borneo, and the islands between these and Nor- 

 thern-Australia; among them however there appear to be 

 two or three new species and one distinct new genus which
