in my collection I refer to that sex on account of the long antennæ 
and large eyes; the last abdominal segment is also deeply foveolate 
at the apex, the margin of the fovea being strongly thickened. 
Cynorta variabilis n.sp. 
Narrowly elongate, fulvous, the antennæ and legs flavous, 
thorax slightly longer than broad, obsoletely bifoveolate ; elytra 
obsoletely costate and finely punctured, violaceous, the base and 
the apex more or less fulvous. 
var. a. Elytra reddish fulvous, the disc obscure violaceous. 
var. b. Elytra entirely fulvous. à 
Length 2 1/:-2 1/2 lines. 
Head impunctate, fulvous at the vertex, lower part flavous, the 
eyes large, the clypeus deeply longitudinally sulcate at the middle, 
the penultimate joint of the palpi incrassate, apical joint short, 
acute, antennæ as long as the body, flavous, the second joint very 
short, the third and fourth elongate, equal, thorax slightly longer 
than broad, the sides straight and slighthy narrowed at the base, 
the disc obsoletely bifoveolate at the middle, extremely finely 
punctured and granulate when seen under a strong lens, fulvous; 
elytra slightly wider at the base than the thorax, flattened, not 
depressed below the base, more or less distinctly longitudinally 
costate, the interstices finely and closely punctured and minutely 
granulate, the base, lateral and apical margins fulvous, the dise 
metallic violaceous or bluish; femora flavous, tibiæ stained with 
piceous, with a small spine, the first joint of the anterior tarsi 
dilated in the male, the last abdominal segment trilobate, the late- 
ral lobes obliquely cut at their inner edge. 
Hab. Perak, Java. (coll. Jacoby). 
The description of this species is drawn from a specimen obtained 
at Perak, in which the tibiæ are stained with piceous; the Java 
specimens before me have entirely flavous legs; C. variabilis may 
be at once known by the deeply sulcate clypeus of the male (the 
female is unknown to me) and the presence of a violaceous tint of 
the elytra even in the varieties. The Perak specimen has however 
decided blue elytra margined with fulvous. I received the speci- 
mens from Dr Staudinger. 
Menippus philippinensis n. sp. 
Obsçure testaceous, finely pubescent, the tibiæ and tarsi blaek, 
Thorax finely punctured, elytra closely and distinctly punctate, 
clothed with short greyish pubescence. 
Length 3 lines.
