EUCHITONIA MENZELII. 125 
which are rather narrowly rounded at the sutural angle; 
the shoulders are broadly rounded. The elytra are covered 
with a very delicate sculpture which is intermixed with 
distinct shallow punctures and provided each with three 
narrow faint costae. 
The dark blue legs are elongate (especially the posterior 
ones), shining and sparsely punctate. The femora are sub- 
pedunculate, the tibiae compressed, the intermediate meta- 
tarsi distinctly longer than the two following joints united, 
the posterior metatarsi') nearly as long as the three fol- 
lowing joints united. 
The prosternum is transversely wrinkled in the middle, 
longitudinally wrinkled at the swollen sides; between the 
wrinkles distinct punctures are present. The metasternum 
has a few punctures spread over the middle portion and 
a finely impressed middle-line which does not extend to 
the front margin of the metasternum. The abdomen is 
impunctate; the apical ventral segment (the fifth) is trape- 
zoidal, broadly truncated at the end, with rounded lateral 
angles and almost inconspicuously notched in the middle 
of the hind margin. 
Hab. West-Sumatra: Loeboe Bangkoe. — A single 
female specimen in the Leyden Museum, captured in May 
by Mr. J. Menzel to whom the species is dedicated. 
This species resembles without doubt very much Zuchitonia 
superba Auriv. ®) from the inland of Borneo. The antennae 
of this species, however, are described by Aurivillius as 
black and the elytra as having the apical third velvet 
black. Nothing is said about the colour of the tarsi. 
Besides the above described female, our Museum pos- 
sesses a male specimen of the genus Wuchitonia, likewise 
from West-Sumatra (Solok, leg. P. O. Stolz). This speci- 
men very likely may be regarded as a representative of 
the male sex of Huchitonia Menzel. 
J) This tarsal joint is partly infuscate.
