PACHYTERIA PUNCTICOLLIS. 33 



emarginated on the middle of the hind border. The femora 

 are strongly , the tibiae very finely and densely punctured. 

 The described couple of this species has been captured 

 in East Java (Mount Ardjoeno) by Mr. W. E. J. Hekmeyer 



Pachyteria puncticollis , sp. n. Q. 



Much resembling the foregoing species and of the same 

 locality , but distinct from it at a glance by the different 

 sculpture of the pronotum which is punctured and not 

 transversely rugose , by the absence of the longitudinal groove 

 on the clypeus and of the transverse one between the eyes, 

 by the rounded apex of the elytra , by the more slender an- 

 tennae and legs , etc. 



Length 30 mm. ; breadth at the shoulders 9 mm. 



Cyaneous, faintly tinged with green on the head and on 

 the apical half of the elytra, and tinged with purple on 

 the hind tibiae. The Brd — 6th and the base of the 7th 

 joint of the antennae , as well as the basal half of the elytra 

 luteous , the 7th and following joints of the antennae (the 

 base of the 7th excepted) black ; the anterior and intermediate 

 tibiae inconspicuously spotted or striped with brown. 



The head rather densely punctured , with a large more 

 or less heart-shaped smooth impression on the face; the 

 longitudinal groove between the antennary tubers is conti- 

 nued through a smooth space on the vertex. The scape of 

 the antennae is densely punctured on the upper surface , 

 almost impunctate on the under surface ; the Brd joint rather 

 slender , not quite as long as the two following joints ta- 

 ken together. 



The prothorax very broad on the middle in consequence 

 of the strongly angular sides, transversely sulcated ante- 

 riorly and abruptly depressed and constricted posteriorly ; 

 the anterior margin not at all, the posterior one slightly 

 upturned. The disk remotely covered with large , deep punct- 

 ures; the depressed posterior portion provided with an 

 indistinctly raised transverse line. The scutellum velvety 

 black, elongate- triangular , with acute apex.
