gradatim basim versus diminutis), postea subtilissime larissime 

 (hac parte fere glabra) punctatis; primo antennarum articulo 

 nigro-cyanescente. Long. 17— 17I mm. 



Two $ 2 , Martapura (Doherty, 1891 : ex coll. Dr. David 

 Sharp). One specimen in my collection, one in the British Museum. 



The coloration of the body, antennseand legs is exactl^^like that 

 of Coll. levigata, m., and (the first segment of the antennae excepted) 

 sarawakensis, Thoms. The pro- and meso-epipleurse are exceedingly 

 finely, the lateral part of the metasternum closely and evidently, 

 pilose. The head differs from that of Coll. sarawakensis by the 

 middle stripe of the front being not at all elevated in the form of a 

 carina and in the evidently less highly elevated wrinkles at the base 

 of the orbital plates. Theprothorax of the new species is longer than 

 that of Coll. sarawakensis , the constricted anterior part much longer 

 and narrower, the conical basal part a little shorter and more 

 conical. Some specimens of Thomson's species have exactly the 

 same sculpture of the elytra as the new species. 



Therates erinys, Bat., slyx, subsp. no v. 



Differt a forma prioritatis colore toto et corporis supra 

 subtusque et antennarum et pedum et palporum et labri et mandi- 

 bularum nigro ; elytris pone locum ilium obliquum tumidum dis- 

 coidalem paullulum punctatis : punctis sensim ante quartam partem 

 apicalem evanescentibus. Long. 9^ mm. (sine labro). 



One & , sent to me by Mr. John Hewitt, director of the Sara- 

 wak Museum. Collected at 4,500 feet elevation in May 1899, near 

 Mount Penrissen (Borneo). 



The unique specimen is in very bad condition. The slight 

 punctuation behind the elevated oblique middle spot runs down 

 to about three-fourths of the length of the elytra. The extreme 

 apical part shows again some sculpture. The entire blackish colora- 

 tion is very strange.
