collected in the Indian Islands by Mr. A. R. Wallace. 139 
Dr. Schaum in transmitting the original specimen, I have been able 
to identify with the second species from Siam mentioned by Erich- 
son. The Opatrum hispidum, Weber, the type of the genus, is un- 
known to me, but may possibly be identical with 7’. Bowringiz, Woll. 
Chorites aspis*. 
Pascoe, huj. op. 1. p. 115,—Sarawak. 
Chorites latus. 
C. late ellipticus, niger, griseo-nigro squamatus; prothoracis lateribus 
integris; elytris medio elevatis vel gibbosis. 
Hab. Singapore. 
Broadly elliptic, black, with greyish and black erect scales ; prothorax 
entire towards the side or only very slightly concave ; elytra strongly 
elevated or gibbous in the middle; legs and antennze dark ferruginous. 
Length 23 lines. 
Very nearly allied to Chorites aspis, differing principally in its 
greater breadth, more entire prothorax, and elytra culminating less 
obtusely in the centre. 
Chorites oblongus. 
C. oblongo-ovatus, niger, griseo squamatus; prothorace utrinque exca- 
-vato, margine reflexo, 
Hab, Macassar. 
Oblong-ovate, black, with mostly greyish scales; prothorax very 
concave at the sides, the margin reflexed ; scutellum small, triangular ; 
elytra moderately convex, and only slightly gibbous in the middle ; 
antenne and legs dark ferruginous. Length 2 lines. 
This species approaches T’rachypholis in its oblong outline and 
margined prothorax, but in other characters it agrees better with 
Chorites. 
Hyberis araneiformis. 
Pascoe, huj. op. i. p. 113.—Sarawak. 
Hyberis Wallacei. (Pl. VIII. fig. 5.) 
H. oblongo-ovatus, niger, subnitidus, tuberculo-setosus; prothorace haud 
fasciculato, lateribus dentato-serratis. 
Hab. Sarawak. 
Oblong-ovate, black, somewhat shining, roughly tuberculate with 
short black setose hairs; head with very large closely-set tubercles ; 
prothorax rather broader than long, with about a dozen short teeth on 
_* The following diagnosis will serve for this species :— 
C. elliptivo-ovatus, niger, griseo squamatus; prothorace utrinque leviter excavato, 
margine haud reflexo.
