320 Kev. W. W. Fowler on new 



form the type of a distinct genus. As, however, P. 

 collaris, Crotch, is closely connected with it, it seems the 

 best course to leave these two species, for the present at 

 all events, under Pachylanguria. Among other new 

 species in the Brussels Museum collection there is a 

 small Callilamjuria, distinguished by its yellowish abdo- 

 men ; a species of Langurianear L.formosa, Crotch ; and 

 a species with dark elytra and red thorax, which is 

 remarkable for its very long and slender legs. Descrip- 

 tions of these species have been lately published in the 

 ' Comptes Kendus de la Societe Ent. de Belgique ' (May 

 1st, 1886). 



With the Ceylon species Mr. Lewis handed to me a 

 few other specimens of the group. Among these is a 

 small Languria with red head and thorax, cyaneous 

 elytra, and five-jointed club, which is very interesting as 

 having occurred in Egypt ; a species has occurred in 

 Siberia, but no species has hitherto been recorded so 

 near to Europe as the one now referred to. It appeared 

 most probable that the Egyptian species would prove a 

 new one, but, on examining the under side, I at once 

 saw that it was L. melanosterna, which was described by 

 Von Harold in his paper above referred to from Luzon, 

 Philippine Islands, and of which I have a number of 

 specimens before me in the Brussels collection from the 

 same locality. The species is easily distinguished by 

 having the under side of the head, the prosternum, and 

 abdomen clear testaceous or red, while the meso- and meta- 

 sternum are black, and by the first joint of the posterior 

 tarsi being as long as the two following together ; the 

 occurrence of this insect in such widely-separated 

 localities is very interesting, but is somewhat paralleled 

 by the distribution of M. Jansoni above referred to. 



The following species remains to be described from 

 Mr. Crotch's collection.
