revision of the Lanvpyrida'. 101 



3. Affinis, n. sp. Very near No. 1. Smaller and hind 

 angles of thorax not produced, elytra punctured as in No. 

 1, but two nervures more clearly visible, prothorax chan- 

 nelled. Tibire as in No. 1. 



Madras [Murray], Bombay, Bengal, Mus. Brus. 



4. Malaccce, n. sp. Smaller and more parallel than 

 either of the preceding, thorax scarcely wider than long, 

 channelled, hind angles right but rounded off a little, sixtii 

 ventral segment in the ? ? with a deep circular emargina- 

 tion of each side, the portion between lobed and curved 

 upward to meet the pygidium, its own apex being angularly 

 emarginate. The apical margin and central lobe have 

 rather long cilire of grey pile. Four specimens from 

 Malacca in my collection agree with the description above, 

 while two from Madras have the eyes smaller ; one of them 

 having the same curious structure of the abdomen, the 

 other having seven ventral segments, the sixth widely 

 emarginate, the seventh small, with a central lobe ex- 

 cised at its apex, of the same form and ciliated as in the ? ? 



5. CUnensis, Lin. Syst. Nat. I. 2, p. 645 ? This is 

 certainly very close to No. 2, but the thorax has more 

 distinct hind angles, and is channelled, not Avith any raised 

 line; the tibite are black except at their extreme base, and 

 the apex of the elytra with a very small black spot.

6. Prwusta, Escholtz. Antenna yellow, thorax chan- 

 nelled, elytra very obsoletely punctured and with hardly 

 any trace of nervures. 



Philippine Isles, Manilla; Mus. Brus. ? ? coll. Gorh. (^'i 

 Ohs. — The c? has the sixth seg. excised, the seventh 

 acuminate. 



Luciola tahida, n. sp. 



Pallide testacea, antennis' articulo basali excepto, ely- 

 trorum apice tarsisque infuscatis, thoracis angulis pos- 

 terioribus rectis, basi depress© submarginato. 



Long. Hn. 5. ? . 



Head yellow, eyes small, received into the prothorax* 

 Elytra clothed with a fine white pile, apex with an inde- 

 terminate fuscous spot. The subapical segment of the 

 abdomen is emarginate, the segment preceding margined 

 ivith hlack.
