218 PACHYTERIA BORNEOENSIS. 



Pachyteria horneoensis^ n. sp. (ƒ. 



No doubt this species is closely allied to Pachyteria 

 insignita Pasc. from Penang or from the coast opposite 

 the island '), but differs from it in the distribution of the 

 colors on the elytra and antennae , whereas nothing is 

 said in the description about the particular sculpturing of 

 the prosternum which I observe in the specimen before me. 



Length from the anterior margin of the inter-antennary 

 ridge to the apex of the elytra 36 mm., breadth at the 

 shoulders 11 mm. — Above subopaque, covered with mi- 

 nute hairs which are of the same color as the derm whereon 

 they occur ; beneath subnitid , the coxae , sides of meso- 

 and metasternum and hind margin of the three basal 

 ventral segments covered with a glithering greyish pile ; 

 the bands on the ventral segments strongly narrowed or 

 interrupted in the middle. — The head , prothorax and 

 scutellum black, the former however with the exception 

 of the luteous labrum , mandibles ^), palpi and upper mar- 

 gin of the antennary tubers ; the six basal joints of the 

 antennae luteous , the remaining five black , the 7th how- 

 ever brown on the inside ; the smaller basal half of the 

 elytra luteous, the larger apical half black with a green 

 tinge ; underneath black with metallic blue tinges on the 

 metasternum and abdomen; the legs luteous with the coxae 

 partly and the larger apical half of the posterior femora 

 (with the exception of the extreme apex) black, the inter- 

 mediate femora with an infuscate spot on the hinder sur- 

 face of the swollen portion. 



The head rugosely punctured on the vertex and behind 

 the eyes, the cheeks with a few large punctures, the 

 sides of the mandibles finely punctate; the inter-antennary 

 ridge divided by a narrow but deep groove, very finely 

 punctured above, irregularly punctured in front, the large
