GLENEA HASSELTI. 41 
cence; just before the middle of the apical half of each 
elytron a small round orange-brown spot is present, touch- 
ing the lateral carina and situated in a longitudinal im- 
pression which is filled with a black velvety pubescence; 
at some distance before the apex an oblique spot of a white 
pubescence may be observed and the truncation of the 
elytra is bordered with white’). The elytra, which are 
much broader at the base than the thorax, are slightly 
constricted in a curved line just behind the shoulders which 
makes the latter somewhat acutely prominent; the ante- 
rior margin of the shoulders is straight and obliquely di- 
rected backwards; the apices of the elytra are broadly and 
somewhat obliquely emarginate and provided with four spi- 
nes: the external ones stout, the sutural ones small. The 
disk of the elytra is densely covered with very large and 
deep punctures which disappear however posteriorly. On the 
deflexed sides the punctures are arranged in two regular 
rows which are separated by the smooth keel. 
The episterna have a pale orange-brown pubescence, and 
the ventral segments are bordered with white posteriorly. 
The legs are glabrous, the tarsi thinly covered with a 
greyish pile. 
The male differs from the female sex, from which the 
above description is derived, besides by the sexual charac- 
ters of the abdomen and the smaller size and narrower 
shape, by the want of the triangular orange-brown basal 
spots on the pronotum. 
Hab. The island of Nias and West-Sumatra. — A few 
specimens originating from the first quoted locality have 
been presented to the Leyden Museum by Messrs. A. L. 
van Hasselt and J. D, Pasteur, whereas I have seen spe- 
cimens from Mr. René Oberthiir’s collection which are said 
to come from West-Sumatra. 
1) The two small pubescent spots which in Glenea Juno are present dn the 
middle of the basal half of each elytron are wanting in Hasselti.
