New species of Phytophagous Colcoptera. 63 



shape of the thorax, however, is the principal mark of distinction 

 between the two species. The present one is the fourth of the 

 genus now known. 



GALEEUCIN^. 



Antipha quadrimaculata, n. sp. 



Flavous, the head black, the thorax very sparingly punctured; elytra 

 distinctly punctured in rows, each with a large transverse spot at the base 

 and a smaller one below the middle, black, their margins piceous ; breast 

 pieeous, or black. Length, 3 lines. 



Head black, impunctate, the frontal elevations strongly developed, 

 transverse, labrum testaceous; antennae slender, flavous, the third joint 

 one-half longer than the second ; thorax more than twice as broad as long, 

 the sides slightly rounded at the middle, the angles distinct, thickened, 

 surface with a few minute punctures, flavous ; scutellum pale fulvous ; 

 elytra finely punctured in rather closely approached rows, flavous, the basal 

 spot extending downwards to one-third of their length, but generally not 

 quite to the sutural margin, its lower edge very uneven, the posterior spot 

 subtriangular or oval, placed below the middle and often surrounded by a 

 brownish margin ; under side and legs flavous, the breast dark fulvous or 

 piceous. 



Hah. Java (Fruhstorfer). 



In one specimen the antennae (with the exception of the first 

 and last two joints) and the tibiae and tarsi are black. 



Antipha ornata, Jac. 

 Of this species, lately described {ante, p. 38), I have received 

 specimens from Java, in which the antennae, the head, thorax, 

 elytra (the central spot excepted) , and the legs are black, proving 

 the species, therefore, to be very variable in colour. 



Agetocera birmanica, n. sp. 



Black ; the head and thorax impunctate ; elytra metallic greenish, very 

 closely punctured ; abdomen flavous. 



J . The eighth joint of the antennae elongate, slightly thickened. 

 Length, 4i — 5 lines. 



$ . Head black, impunctate ; the frontal elevations strongly raised, 

 trigonate ; labrum and palpi black ; antennae, extending to half the length of 

 the elytra, black, the eighth joint the longest and thickened, the terminal 

 joint with an appendage ; thorax subquadrate, strongly narrowed from the 

 base to the middle at the sides, the latter narrowly margined, the anterior 

 angles thickened, the surface impunctate, black, with a deep transverse 

 depression at each side and extending nearly to the middle ; scutellum 

 black ; elytra dilated posteriorly, with a distinct depression below the base 

 and a less distinct one below the middle, the surface closely and finely 

 pimctured, the sides with a slightly raised ridge from the middle to the 

 apex ; the breast and legs black ; abdomen flavous ; claws bifid. 



Hah. Birmah. 



Of this species I have lately received four specimens, 

 apparently all females. A. hirmanica seems very closely allied 

 to A. flaviventris, Jacoby, of which it may possibly be a local 

 form, but in that insect the labrum and the antennae are 

 flavous, and the elytra violaceous blue ; the antennae in the 

 present species are also more filiform and less thickened.
