 fourth it is entirely absent. The chief iharartoristics nf the .specie.s, apart fn»ni colour, 

 are itM extreme tintness, t he fineness of the marginal grooves of the pron<ituni. an<l the 

 almost entire absence of ])iint-tures from the pronotiini and nietasternum. The frontal 

 ridges extend outwards and slightly forwards, to end xiniewhat ;il>niptly at :i < <iii>id<T;il.If

Leptaulax sanibawae, n >p. 



Four speeintens from H. Ainc llaxsji, Saiuitawa, ^,000-5,000 ft., and fwn from I'oeni 

 Allor Islands, 3,(xx>-4,0(X) ft. Length J4-27 mm. 



This species differs from L. bicoU>r only in having the pmnotum scunewhat less 

 distinctly reetangular in shape, and entirely un|iiin<'tured except .somewhat indistinctiv in 

 the .scar- and still more indistinctly in the marginal grooves; in having the punctures on 

 the po,sterior intermediate areas of the meta.sternum more c»r le.ss ob.solete : and in having 

 the elytra distinctly wider behind than in front with their lateral grooves much less strongly 

 punctured. The abdominal sterna are polished and are entirely unpunctured in two 

 s]je<"iniens, the terminal si-jrinc-nt being marked in (iibcis with haii-bc>aring punctures. 



Leptaulax barbicauda (Zang).

Several spe<imens from the Malay Peninsula. ((Jap, ai. j.cxx) ft.. .'scl.iiit.'"r-l'ali.inu'

This .species is transitional between A. sdiiilnnmi' and L. hintlnr. and is >ii lu-ar the hitter 

 nuwt variable .species that I have some hc>sitation in regarding it as di.stinct. It is, however, 

 di.stinctly bigger, with large and strongly rectangular pronotum. the general apj)caranee 

 of the insect ccmsec|uently re.siMid)ling that of L. Hitifnttis. The pimcturing of the pronotiim 

 and inetnstemum is weaker than is usmilly the cas»« in A. hirolor. tending to resend>le rather 

 that found in I., sniiilnnnit' : there are always, however, a few punctures in the anterior 

 angles of the pronotum. and the punctures in the prcmotal .scars an'l on the posterior 

 ir.termeiliate areas of the ineta.stemum are .somewhat ,stronger. 



Leptaulax bicolor (Kabricius).
