the outer maroin is horizontal, then it rises to the shonlders. 

 The sides of the prothorax are sti'ongiy granulated, the disc 

 more shining and finely hut distinctly punctured. Also the 

 sides of the head are strongly granulated. The tibiae have no 

 teeth but they are closely covered with golden hairs as also 

 the soles of the feet. 



The underside is dark coppery-brown with a co])pery-reddish 

 hue. The prosternal process is narrow and conically projecting. 



The median form has the mandibles a little longer than the 

 head and the prothorax ; at the base they have 3—5 little teeth, 

 the middle is smooth and the tip is armed with a row of 8—10 

 little teeth. The smallest form of the male has the mandibles 

 serrated ; head and prothorax are more strongly punctured than 

 in the forma maxima. Tn the small forms the left mandible 

 is a little longer than the right one. 



The female is coloured just as the the male, but the head, 

 the prothorax and the elytra are more pimctured. The mandi- 

 bles are strongly developed and armed on the upper and 

 underside with a tooth ; from this tooth the upperside is 

 canaliculated to the tip. The colour of the females seems to 

 be inconstant ; only a single female showed the clear colour, 

 after ha^dng been taken out of the alcohol. The two others 

 had the elytra coloured as the other parts of the body with 

 metallic-green hues at the sides, one of these dark females 

 shows yet distinctly the clearer colour in some parts of the 

 elytra and particularly the characteristic metallic margins. 

 Eight weeks after having been taken out of the alcohol the 

 cleary-coloured female had become very much darker, and is 

 quite similar to the two dark females. 



The types of the three forms of the male and that of the 

 female are in the Sarawak Museum collection ; three cotypes 

 of the male and one of the female in mv own collection.
