8 GLENEA NIVEA. 
The sides of the metasternum and the posterior half of 
the ventral segments are covered with a dense white pu- 
bescence, which is, however, interrupted along the middle 
of the abdomen. The legs are steel-blue with green tinges 
especially on the forelegs; they are covered with a greyish 
pile. 
Hab. New Guinea: Mount Arfak. — A single female 
specimen in the collection of Mr. René Oberthiir. 
Glenea similis, un. sp. o. 
(Plate 1, fig. 3). 
Length 19,5 mm., breadth at the shoulders 5,25 mm. — 
Strongly resembling the Javanese Glenea Delia Thoms. and 
agreeing with it as to color and markings, but the white 
stripes broader and the spots larger. It is however at once 
distinguished by its strongly prominent shoulders which 
are obsolete in Delia. 
The color of the derm is steel-blue with faint green 
tinges on the legs. The head is covered all over with a 
white pubescence, with the exception of a bare spot beyond 
the middle of the eyes, and of two stripes and a mesial 
line on the vertex. The face and vertex are sparingly punc- 
tured. The three basal joints of the antennae are dark steel- 
blue and subnitid, the remainder dull black. 
The prothorax is subcylindrical, its basal angles being 
but slightly divergent. The disk is sparingly punctured and 
provided with three broad white vittae of which the lateral 
ones widen out towards the anterior and basal margins 
which makes them narrower in the middle; these vittae 
are united by a white pubescence along the front margin, 
whereas they are subcontiguous at the base; the central 
vitta shows a fine raised line along the middle; immediately 
above the anterior and middle coxae a broad white vitta 
is present. The scutellum is somewhat elongate triangular 
with curvilinear sides and rounded tip; it is covered all 
over with a dense white pubescence.
