58 TAENIODERA GORYI. 



2. T. Goryi Jans. 

 (4:-lineata G. & P. , nee Hope). 



This species may be at once distinguished from the other 

 three by its broad, non-emargiuate clypeus, the margins 

 are also more reflexed and the punctuation is closer ; both 

 the head and thorax are usually red or piceous , and the 

 latter has a distinct elevated median line; the scutellum 

 is sparsely punctured and has no median line; the elytra 

 are more coarsely punctured and have a more strongly 

 raised discal carina than in quadrilineata ; there is a large 

 round central spot on the pygidium , and in the single 

 male example I have seen , there is an additional small spot 

 on each side as in scenica ; the tibiae are red or piceous 

 and in some specimens the legs are entirely red; the an- 

 terior tibia of the male has no indication of lateral teeth. 



Appears to be rare in collections. I possess only two 

 females from Java, the only male I have seen comes from 

 the same Island , and has been kindly communicated to 

 me by Mr. Ritsema, together with two examples of the 

 other sex, one of them taken by Dr. B. Hagen at Tand- 

 jong Morawa, East Sumatra. 



3. T. scenica G. & P. 



This species differs from quadrilineata Hope in having 

 a stronger longitudinal carina on the head , the thorax is 

 more strongly lobed at the base, has a feeble but distinct 

 longitudinal elevation in the centre, and in the male it is 

 evidently broader at the base ; the scutellum is flat , with- 

 out a median line and is margined at the sides with yel- 

 low; the elytra are less sulcate at the suture and have a 

 narrower discal carina; the pygidium is usually marked 

 with three yellow spots and is often red at the apex ; the 

 underside is often red or yellow in the centre , and the 

 legs almost invariably have the tibiae aud tarsi red or pi- 

 ceous or are entirely red or yellow ; the mesosternal process
