from Sumatra obtained by Sign. Modigliani. The species is extre- 
mely variable in regard to coloration, scarcely two specimens being 
. alike, the Kanara one bas the elytra entirely fuscous, in some they 
are testaceous or margined with blackish. The type was described 
by me from Ceylon, in the description of the posterior claws, 
I stated at that time, that the latter were united at the base but 
divided at the extreme apex ; a close examination has now proved 
to me, that the claws must be moveable, as they are sometimes 
widely apart or so closely approached as to look joined, the apex 
only being divided ; in reallity the claws are simple but of great 
length and strongly curved, while the anterior claws are of normal 
size and appendiculate. 
AGELOPSIS n. gen. 
Body elongate, smooth, antennæ filiform, the first joint much 
thickened, the second short, the third, one half shorter than the 
fourth, this and the following joints very elongate, thorax subqua- 
drate, transversely sulcate near the base, elytra irregularly punc- 
tured, their epipleuræ continued below the middle, legs slender, 
tibiæ unarmed, the metatarsus of the posterior legs as long as the 
following two joints together, claws appendiculate, prosternum not 
visible between the coxæ, the anterior coxal cavities closed. 
The genus, proposed here seems allied to Æonbrrella Duviv. 
likewise from Bengal, to which I would have referred the present 
species, but the author describes the thorax as one third longer 
than broad, the tibiæ as mucronate and the anterior coxal 
cavities as open, neither is the case with the insect before me, 
which in other respect agrees singularly with Duvivier’'s descrip- 
tion which I cannot assume as being erroneous in the above 
particulars. 
Agelopsis caeruleus n. sp. 
Entirely dark metallic blue, antennæ black, as long as the body, 
thorax impunctate, elytra distinctly and rather closely punctured. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head impunctate, broad, transversely grooved between the 
antennæ, frontal tubercles broadly trigonate, nearly contiguous, 
carina acute, clypeus narrowly transverse, labrum nearly black, 
palpi rather robust, antennæ extending to the end of the elytra, 
black, pubescent, the first joint smooth, metallic blue, strongly 
thickened, the fourth and following joints very elongate, thorax not 
longer than broad, the sides narrowed at the base, straight ante- 
riorly, with a narrow margin, anterior angles slightly thickened 
but not produced, the surface entirely impunctate, with a rather
