240 POPILIA FOVEOLAïA. 



I am not aware that any species nearly allied to this 

 has been yet described , but I have three or four closely 

 allied forms from other localities in Asia and Malasia. 



Three specimens from Padang and one from Doesoen 

 Tengah (November 1877). 



25. Fopilia foveolata, n. sp. 



Nigra , nitida , pedibus pygidioque colore variabilibus , 

 interdum rufis; subtus conspicue albido-setosa , pygidio basi 

 utrinque macula parva albida; elytris quadrifoveolatis , se- 

 riebus punctorum subtilibus. — Long. 8 — 8.1, lat, 5 m.m. 



Head black , clypeus strongly margined , densely rugose- 

 punctate, vertex sparingly punctured. Thorax black, but 

 with a more or less indistinct red spot on each side, very 

 shining, at the front and sides with some coarse punctu- 

 res, and just within the lateral margin with a very few' 

 white setae. Elytra shining black , with a very large im- 

 pression on each near the scutellum, and a second smal- 

 ler, but very distinct, at the shoulder, and with six or 

 seven more or less incomplete rows of somewhat obsolete 

 punctures. Pygidium sparingly rugose , sometimes nearly 

 black , sometimes nearly red , at the base on each side 

 with a small but distinct patch of white hairs. Undersur- 

 face and femora with conspicuous white setae arranged in 

 the usual manner. Hind legs short and very stout, theu' 

 tarsi unusually short; the femora and tibiae are sometimes 

 reddish yellow, sometimes nearly or quite black. 



This distinct species may be placed near P. adamas Newm. 



The eleven specimens brought home by the Expedition 

 were captured at Paja Koemboeh and Agam (March 1877), Si- 

 lago (July 1877), MoearaLaboe (No v^ember 1877), Loeboekh 

 Gadang (December 1877), in the district of Rawas (May 

 1878) and at Koetoer (June 1878). 



Found also at Sarawak in Borneo, by Marquis Doria 

 in 1865 — 6: the specimen from there quite agrees with 

 a series from Sumatra.
