Thisspecies is very distinct from any other Itnown to me, the 

 elytra being of as deep blood-red as those of L. triangularis, but 

 flatter and more coriaceous, wiiile the thorax, and the rest of the 

 insect are totally deep black. It is unknown to M. Bourgeois also. 



There were six examples, one of whithis a female not differingin 

 size from some maies. The third costa is ofter very obsolète, and 

 shortened.

M. J. Bourgeois to whora I sent this refers it to the Var. A. of 

 M. lineahis referred to by Waterhouse. 



This form has the scutellum black instead of red, as it is in the 

 Type of Hope's species. Our spécimens (two) hâve the thorax and 

 elytra ofa beautiful rich orange-red, the scutellum and the rest of 

 the body black. Itreminds me of my M.cmnabarinus from Sumatra. 



I think it will almost certainly prove to be a distinct species 

 from 31. lineatus. 



31. Xylobanus atricollis n. sp. — A ter, eîytris ocJiraceis 

 immaculatis . — Long. 8.5 millim. (^. 



Wholly black with the exception of the elytra, the thoracic 

 areolets are well raarked and the hind angles are acute. The elytra 

 are dull, ochraceous yellow, each with five rows of scalariform 

 pits, narrow and parallel. The antennse are lost except their 

 basai joints, so that it is not possible to give much account of 

 this insect, there being only one spécimen; it is however so very 

 distinct from any known Xylobanus that I think it well to notice 

 it. I bave sent it to M. J, Bourgeois to whom it is equally un- 

 known, as to myself.

There is a good deal of difficulty in identifying the species des- 

 cribed by M"" Waterhouse. M. Bourgeois considering it distinct, 

 while M' Waterhouse identifies it with C. signicollis Kirsch. The
