﻿250 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



always thought a position of rest was necessary before any 

 Cicadas could make a noise. It returned later to the same tree, 

 but I again missed it with the net, although it allowed me to 

 approach near enough to approximately identify it. 



Four Fulgoridfe were noted — Thessitus nifironotatus, Stal, 

 Pochazia fiiscata, Fab., liicania convercjens, "Wlk., and R. limi- 

 taris, Wlk. Also five Cercopidse — Suracarta tricolor basinotata, 

 Butl., Tricoscarta delineata, Wlk., Phymatostetha stellata, Guer., 

 P. dislocata, Wlk., and Opistharsotheus simulans, Schmidt. Speci- 

 mens of the two common Jassids, Bhandara semiclara, Sign., 

 and Tettigoniellafarinosa, Fab., were brought in by the collectors. 

 The Pentatomids, Chrysochoris auratus, Guer., Dalpada oculata, 

 Fab., PlaiLtia fimhriata, Fab. ; the Eeduviid, Centrocnemis signo- 

 reti, Sttil ; the Coreid, Serinetha ahdoininalis, Fab. ; and a Lygseid, 

 Narho hiplagiatus, Wlk., were taken. 



CoLEOPTERA. — Perhaps the most striking species taken were 

 a large brilliant green Buprestid, Chrysodema pyrosticta, Vollen., 

 and a fine chocolate-brown Curculionid, which I found walking 

 on a large rock on the summit of the hill ; this proved to be a 

 rare species recently described by Dr. K. M. Heller as Polrio- 

 phorus stellatus. 



Among the Longicorns were — (Lamiidie), Leproderafimhriata, 

 Chev. ; a large brown-spotted beetle, Ilimantoceraplumosa, Oliv. ; 

 Entelopes glauca, Gu6r., surely a mimic of some Coccinellid- 

 Cassid combination ; Praonetha quadraticollis, Pasc. ; and a pair 

 of a gorgeous blue species, Glenea celia, Pasc, which I took i?i 

 cop. on a fallen tree. Mr. Gahan kindly identified it for me, 

 and I understand it has not been recorded from Borneo before. 

 (Cerambycidae), the common red Euryphagus lundii, Fab., Xylo- 

 trechus pedestris, Pascoe, and X. scenicus, Pasc. 



The brilliant little Cassidas were represented by Aspido- 

 morpha sarawacensis, Spaeth, and Laccoptera 13-punctata, Fab. 

 Two species of Carabidae were taken — Orthogonius vittatus, Main, 

 and Dischissus cereus, McL., the latter a rare species in Sarawak. 

 The pretty little Cicindelid, Odontachila {Heptadonta) analis, Fab., 

 was common on the sandy path at the foot of the mountain, 

 flying in the sun, together with the ubiquitous Cicindela aurulenta, 

 Fab., which is certainly the commonest beetle in Sarawak. 



One Endomychid, Eumorphus consohrinus, Gerst., and one 

 Lampyrid, Luciola p)allcscens, Gorh., were taken. 



Sugaring trees was tried, but, as on previous occasions out 

 here, proved a total failure, possibly owing to moonlight nights, 

 but more likely due to the swarms of ants which were always in 

 a great hurry for first place. Among them was that large 

 species, Camponotus gigas, Latr., of which the big headed soldiers, 

 measuring an inch in length from head to end of abdomen, used 

 to appear at night, though we never saw them in the daytime.
