168 PACHYTERIA CALUMNIATA. 



segment very faintly emargiuate , the hind margins of these 

 segments fringed with fulvous hairs; in the female the 

 5th segment is truncate with broadly rounded angles and 

 with a broad but rather faint emargiuation in the middle. 



The antennae are more slender and more elongate than 

 in fasciata Fabr., and likewise the legs are more slender, 

 the femora less strongly punctured. 



Hab. India: Tranquebar etc. About the localities of the 

 specimens in the British Museum Collection Mr. Gahan 

 wrote me as follows: »one is ticketed India orient. (Dou- 

 bleday), one ticketed Java ^) and one, of which the locality 

 is absolutely certain , is from the Nilghiri Hills , S. India , 

 and was taken by Mr. Hampson." — In several collections. 



Pachyteria calumniata Rits. is a more slender species than 

 P. fasciata Fabr. and it is moreover distinguished at a 

 glance by the different conformation of the clypeus , by 

 the fine and dense punctuation of the yellow elytral fascia, 

 by the silvery grey pubescence of the sterna and abdomen, etc. 



Pachyteria och race a C. 0. Waterh. 



Of this species Mr. Oberthür sent me a female specimen 

 (from Borneo) from Thomson's collection , which exactly 

 corresponds to Waterhouse's description ^) with the only 

 exception that it is somewhat smaller (measuring 35 mm. 

 from the front-margin of the interantennary ridge to the 

 apex of the elytra), that instead of the three apical joints 

 of the antennae the four apical ones are dusky, that the 

 underside of the head shows a longitudinal black band 

 along the middle of the throat^), and that the meso- and 

 metasternum have each an ochraceous lateral spot. It is 

 a pity that nothing is said by Mr. Waterhouse neither 

 about the sex of his specimen nor about the shape of its 



1) No doubt this indication will prove to be erroneous.

3) Perhaps in Mr. Waterhouse''s specimen the throat may be retracted into 

 the ])rothorax.
