Hah. Ugaxda, Mt. Ruwenzori, 



Several specimens were collected by Mr. Legge. 



This is of the same size and shape as E. sansiharicus, 

 Har., from which it is only distinguishable by a close 

 examination. It differs by the shield-like space between 

 the frontal carinae being rather less pointed behind and 

 showing no trace of a median carina, by the thinly, instead 

 of closely and coarsely, punctured hind angles of the 

 metasternum, and the almost unpunctured sides of the 

 abdomen.

Rah. New Guinea, Ekeikei. 



Of the 600 species of Passalidas hitherto described, all 

 are unicolorous black (or castaneous when not fully 

 coloured), with one exception which, having been de- 

 scribed from a single specimen has been regarded as a 

 possible abnormality. This is Le/ptaulacides {Lcptatdax 

 olim.) glahcr, Kirsch., of which the anterior half of the 

 elytra is red and the rest of the upper surface black. I 

 have seen several specimens of this, all collected by 

 Wallace in Batchian, and all exactly alike, and the insect 

 .described above is a second species ornamented in the
