PACHYTERIAfPARALLELA. 7 



orbit, impunctate; the longitudinal groove between the 

 antennary tubers is not continued on the elypeus ; a raised 

 longitudinal line is present on the middle of the vertex. 

 The 3rd joint of the antennae is distinctly longer than 

 the 4th and 5th joints taken together. 



The prothorax armed with a rounded tubercle on the 

 middle of each side , sharply and transversely carinated 

 anteriorly and posteriorly , transversely bisulcated anteriorly , 

 unisulcated posteriorly, the anterior and posterior margins 

 strongly upturned; the upper surface rugose and opaque, 

 with the exception of the transverse sulci and a small smooth 

 spot on the lateral tubercles. The scutellum elongate- triau- 

 gular , with thickened margins and narrowly rounded tip. 



The elytra parallel , conjointly rounded at the apex. The 

 luteous coloured basal half sub-opaque , strongly and densely 

 punctured , with three faint longitudinal costae ; the green- 

 ish-black coloured apical half velvety , quite differently and 

 very minutely sculptured , showing a trace of the median 

 costa only. 



The femora are strongly , the tibiae finely punctured. The 

 metasternum rather densely punctured , with a longitudinal 

 smooth line on the middle. The 5th ventral segment sub- 

 conical, finely punctured, broadly rounded at the apex. 



The described specimen has been collected many years 

 ago by Prof. Blume, probably in Java. 



The species is remarkable for its parallel shape and opaque 

 (apparently velvety) pronotum. 



In the Entomological Collections of the Zoological Gar- 

 den at Amsterdam, there is a female specimen of a Pa- 

 chyteria from East Java (Mount Ardjoeno) presented to 

 those collections by Mr. Scheepmaker, which corresponds 

 pretty well with the description and figure of Pachyteria 

 dimidiata Westw. ^) (nee Guerin ^)) stated as inhabiting
