species of Languriidce. 383 



constituted, contains many species that vary considerably 

 in this point ; the formation of the apex of the elytra 

 is also a strong point, and yet now there are Langurice 

 with rounded, trmicate, and produced apices ; the mouth- 

 parts and the skeleton of the under side will also 

 probably be found useful. 



The species described below are all from the collection 

 of Mr. Gorham, who has kindly put into my hands his 

 whole collection of the group, and has given me many 

 valuable hints and notes concerning them. 



Mr. Gorham intends shortly to give an account of the 

 species of Languria of the Dutch Koyal Expedition to 

 Sumatra, in the Notes from the Leyden Museum. 



I have received a small number of Assam Languria 

 from Mr. G. Lewis, which appear to comprise two or 

 three new species, and also a new species from my brother 

 in Assam. These I hope to describe in a future pajier. 



I ought to add, in conclusion, that all the species 

 described have been carefully compared by Mr. Gorham 

 with Mr. Crotch's type-specimens from Africa, and that 

 they are all quite distinct from his species.
