258 TRITOMIDEA ATRIPENNIS. 



Hab. Sumatra: Loeboe Tarab and Silago (Sum. Exp.). 



Entirely bright ferruginous-red with the exception of 

 the club of the antennae and the elytra , which are bluish- 

 black. The head and thorax are minutely but distinctly 

 punctured. The front angles of the thorax are neither very 

 prominent nor much depressed , it is very smooth and gla- 

 brous, the minute punctures being only distinct under a 

 */4 inch focus. The elytra are distinctly but finely striate- 

 punctate, there being about eight of the series on each 

 elytron; that nearest the margin is shortened towards the 

 shoulder , nearly all continue to near the apex where they 

 unite, but the central ones vanish. — Two specimens. 



Var.? Scutello nigro , elytris nigris haud cmrulescentibus. 



Hab. Sumatra: Mesauw (Sum. Exp.). 



This , I think , may be a distinct species , but there is 

 only one specimen. 



Southampton, 30th April 1885.
