14 PACHYTERIA. 
the female sex, the hind margin of the 5th ventral seg- 
ment is, however, faintly and broadly emarginate. 
The new species from Borneo, alluded to above and 
which I propose to call 
Pachyteria Batesi, 
is represented by a single female specimen and belongs 
to the group of basalis Waterh. (= polychroma Har.), 
rugosicollis Rits. etc. It strongly resembles Pachyteria 
Hageni Rits. from East Sumatra, but is at once distin- 
guished from that species by its narrower shape and more 
slender antennae, whereas moreover a slight difference 
exists in the distribution of the colors on the antennae. 
Length from the front margin of the inter-antennary 
ridge to the apex of the elytra 27 mm.; length of the 
elytra 20 mm, breadth at the shoulders 8 mm.; breadth 
across the thorax from point to point of the lateral tuber- 
cles 6 mm. 
Nearly glabrous. Head dark bronze green, with an ill- 
defined red spot on the middle of the face and on the 
vertex, the sides of the labrum brown, the mandibles 
black; the face and inter-antennary ridge, as well as the 
under surface, covered with a minute pale pubescence. The 
four basal joints of the antennae and the base of the 5th 
on the inside black, the 4th joint however with a yellow- 
ish spot at the tip on the outside; the remainder part 
of the 5th joint and the 6th—11th joints yellow, the 3rd 
and 4th joints are covered with a black velvety pubes- 
cence. The prothorax dull red, the middle portion of the 
underside, which is covered with a pale pubescence, greenish 
black. The scutellum covered with a black pubescence 
except on the dark brown tip. The basal half of the elytra 
pale yellowish, the rest dark bronze green; the line of 
demarkation between these two colors is slightly curved 
backwards. Body beneath greenish black, the legs black 
with the exception of the posterior tibiae which are dark
