Genera and Species of Coleoptera. 63 



recurved spine on each towards, but at some distance from the base, 

 the sides wth three or four brown patches, the outer apical angle pro- 

 duced; leg-s dark brown, the basal portions of the femora and tibiae 

 reddish-testaceous ; antennas longer than the body, slightly setose, red- 

 dish-brown, the apices of the intermediate joints black; body beneath 

 reddish-brown. Length 5 lines. 



From the slender and elongated tarsi, particularly the posterior, T 

 should be inclined to refer this genus to the neighboiirhood of 

 (Edopeza, rather than to Monohammus, where formerly I had doubt- 

 fully placed it. Except the slightest possible variation in the patches 

 on the elytra, there appears to be no difference between the Batchian 

 and Dory insects. 



AsTATHES [Lamiidae].

Astathes caJoptera. 



A. atra, nitida, breviter setosa; elytris laete cyaneo-violaceis ; antennis 

 testaceis, apicem versus infuscatis. 



Hab. Borneo. 



Ovate, sparingly clothed with short setose hairs ; head and prothorax 

 shining black with a slight copper tinge, and a few scattered punctm-es ; 

 scutellum verj' transverse, black ; elytra deep bluish-violet, verv bright 

 and glossy, and in certain lights having a strong purple tinge, their disc 

 somewhat concave, and each having two abbreviated costse ; antenna 

 pale testaceous-yellow, the apex dark brown ; body beneath and legs 

 black, the last abdominal segment obscurely testaceous. Length 5 lines. 



A most beautiful species, approaching my A. purpurea, but per- 

 fectly distinct. It was found in Borneo by Lieut. De Crespigny ; 

 and does not occiu', I believe, in Mr. Wallace's collections.
