38 IVXr. Martin Jacoby's new species of 



Antipha abdominalis, Jac. 



Var. Underside black ; elytra with a narrow, transverse, basal black band. 



Hah. Borneo. 



Of this species I have received several specimens, which 

 agree in every respect with the type except in coloration ; 

 differing from the typical form in the entirely black under- 

 side, and in the size of the black elytral portion, which is here 

 reduced to a narrow basal band ; the flavous and very long 

 antennae, with very short second and third joints, and their 

 other particulars, agree with the type. A. nigra, and its variety 

 described in the Belgian ' Comptes-rendus ' (1889), by M. AUard, 

 seem to be identical with A. abdominalis and the variety 

 described here. 



Antipha ornata, n. sp. 



Ovate, rufous ; antennae, tibiae and tarsi black ; thorax with a few fine 

 punctui'es ; elytra closely semi-puuctate-striate, rufous, with a large testa- 

 ceous transverse central band margined with black. Length, 3 lines. 



Head impunctate ; antennae with the two basal joints fulvous, stained 

 with piceous above, the following six joints black, the rest broken off; thorax 

 transverse, the sides nearly straight, the surface with a few very fine 

 punctures, rufous ; elytra depressed below the base, punctured in closely 

 arranged rows, rufous ; the middle occupied by a broad, yellowish, trans- 

 verse band, which is surrounded by a narrow black margin, very narrow at 

 the sides, broader anteriorly and posteriorly ; underside rufous ; tibiae and 

 tarsi black. 



Hab. Java (Fruhstorfer) . 



Evidently closely allied to A. histrio, Baly, from Assam, but 

 differing in the colour of the legs, the shape of the black 

 elytral bands, and in the rufous — not black — base of the elytra. 



Antipha impeessicollis, n. sp. 



Fulvous ; the antennae, tibiae, tarsi, and the abdomen, black ; thorax with 

 two deep impressions, impunctate ; elytra metallic purplish, closely and dis- 

 tinctly punctured. Length, 3 lines. 



Head fulvous, impunctate, the frontal elevations narrowly transverse ; 

 the clypeus acutely raised, triangular ; antennae extending to two-thirds the 

 length of the elytra, black, the second and third joints extremely small, the 

 fourth very elongate, slightly longer than the third joint ; thorax twice as 

 broad as long, the sides straight, the anterior margin concave, the angles not 

 produced, the surface impunctate with a deep fovea at each side, fulvous ; 

 scutellum black ; elytra with a distinct basal depression ; the shoulders very 

 prominent ; the surface very closely, evenly, and rather strongly punctured 

 throughout, of a purphsh colour ; the breast and the femora fulvous ; the 

 tibiae and tarsi black ; abdomen greenish black ; prosternum very narrow ; 

 anterior coxal cavities closed. 



Hab. Thibet. 



A single specimen of this distinct species is contained in my 

 collection.
