4 GLENEA CELEBENSIS, 
This species strongly resembles Glenea elegans Oliv. (= picta 
Pascoe ') nec Weber and Fabricius) and Venus Thoms., and 
is intermediate between them on account of the shape of 
its shoulders, these being not so broadly rounded as in 
elegans nor so acutely prominent as in Venus. It differs 
moreover from the latter by its dark colored (not fulvous) 
posterior tarsi and from both by the broadness of the three 
white vittae on the pronotum, which are almost contiguous 
at the basal margin. 
The head agrees with that of Ps ae and Venus in having 
two convergent white lines which are widely separated at 
their origin (the base of the clypeus) but closely approxi- 
mated and nearly parallel between the upper lobes of the 
eyes and on the vertex, a lateral stripe behind the insertion 
of the antennae, and a transverse broader stripe at some 
distance from the base of the mandibles. A few large and 
deep punctures are present on the face and on the vertex. 
The three basal joints of the antennae are dark steel-blue 
and nitid, the remainder dull black. 
The prothorax is subeylindrieal, being slightly narrowed 
in straight lines towards the front margin; the three white 
vittae on the disk are considerably broader than in the 
two allied species and widen out at the base so as to be- 
come here subcontiguous; the stripe immediately above the 
anterior and middle coxae is likewise conspicuously broader. 
The scutellum is somewhat elongate triangular with cur- 
vilinear sides and rounded apex; it is entirely covered with 
a dense white pubescence. 
The elytra are at the base much broader than the thorax ; 
the shoulders are angular (though not so acutely as in 
Venus) and strongly directed backwards ; the white markings 
agree in number and disposition with those of Venus and 
elegans (see Pascoe’s figure of the presumed Glenea picta 
of Fabricius, in „Longicornia Malayana” |. c.), and the 
punctuation and truncation of the elytra is likewise similar.
