 descriptions of two neiv species. By the Piev. W. W.

[Read February 3rd, 1886.] 



Some time ago I received a small collection of Languriidce 

 from Mr. G. Lewis, chiefly taken in Assam ; among them 

 are several specimens of Tetralanguria iniramidata and 

 one specimen of Pachylanfiurla collaris ; with regard to 

 this latter insect it may be remarked that, through a 

 misprint in Crotch's revision of the Erotijlidce (Cist. 

 Ent. i. 377), the length is printed 3 lin. instead of 8 lin.; 

 there is also a single specimen very closely allied to 

 Languriosoma Movlioti, but .with rather stronger punctu- 

 ation than in Crotch's type, which I compared with it ; 

 I believe, however, that it is this species ; Languria 

 scutellata, Crotch, is represented by two or three speci- 

 mens ; this species appears to be identical with L. 

 nigrina, Wied. ; one of the specimens apparently belongs 

 to the variety '^omnino obscure rufa, vel clytris leritcr 

 ^'usco-virentihus,'" which is mentioned by Von Harold in 

 his paper on the group (Mittheil. d. Munchener. Ent. 

 Ver. 1879, p. 81) ; one new species of Languria, repre- 

 sented by two examples, is described below ; the most 

 interesting part of the collection, however, consists of 

 three specimens oi Douhledaya, one male and two females, 

 which unfortunately are more or less immature or im- 

 perfect ; one female is 21 — 22 mm. long, the other 

 13 — 14 mm., while the length of the male is only a little 

 over 10 mm. ; I believe, however, that they all belong to 

 the same species ; and as the larger female is in fair 

 condition, and the male perfect, although slightly im- 

 mature, I have ventured to describe it. There is in 

 the collection another male of a species of ]>uuhledaija 

 (length 15 mm.) from the Andaman Islands, but it is so 

 immature that it cannot be described, although appa- 

 rently a new species.
