The first ventral segment has usually a black apical fascia (often 

 interrupted in the middle) between the hind coxse. Ali this varia 1 

 bility in the ventral spots is quite independent of the présence or 

 absence of the two dull pronotal spots. Distant speaks of « struc- 

 tural characters » separating the two « species », but although he 

 has seen «a very long séries » of both » he does not with a single 

 word mention what thèse structural characters are. There are in 

 fact no s ne h characters. Ail the structural characters enumerated 

 in the description of loricata are exactly the same in ail the varieties 

 described above and there can be no doubt that they form but one 

 species, of whlch loricata is no definite race or variety. 



DALADER ANTHRACINUS n. sp. 



Fere totus ater, parce breviter adpresse ilavido setulosus, solum 

 angulis apicalibus segmenti primi secundique abdominis, articulo 

 secundo basique tertii antennarum, callo mox ante orificia ac tibiis 

 luteis, tarsis fuscis, area magna triangulari ad angulum basalem 

 interiorem membranae aterrima. Articulus primus antennarum 

 secundo paullo longior, tertius basi excepta supra fortiter, subtus 

 modice rotundato ampliatus (art. quartus deest). Pronotum granu- 

 lation, basin versus punclatum, marginibus lateralibus serrulatis, 

 angulis lateralibus in processum latum antice fortius et angustius, 

 postice levius et latius rotundatum extus sed haud antrorsum 

 productis, hoc processu apice lobulo parvo subtriangulari instructo. 

 Hemelytra apicem abdominis paullum superantia. Scutellum, 

 corium cum clavo pectusque disperse punctata. Abdomen pronoto 

 sat multo latius, parce granulatum, subtus prœterea medio punctu-

Bornéo (Sarawak : J. C. Moulton). 



Very distinct from ail other species by the deep black colour and 

 the structure of the pronotal latéral processes.
