Blemmyn hiuyieralis. 



B. atra ; elytris singulis lineo humerale et fasciis duabus trans- 

 versis sutura non attingente, albis ; corpore subtus pube 

 sericeo-argentata. Malacca. 



Deep black ; the prothorax finely punctured with a narrow 

 white border at the anterior and posterior margins ; elytra covered 

 with a fine pile and having on each a white line, commencing 

 between the shoulder and scutellum, continued downwards to 

 about a third of its length, where the first transverse band occurs, 

 and a little below this a second and broader one, but neither attain- 

 ing the suture, at the apex an indistinct pale blotch ; antennae 

 with a silvery pubescence ; body beneath covered with a white 

 silky pile. 



Length 4^ lines. 



This is especially interesting as a Malayan species of a genus 

 founded on two Bornean insects, which 1 proposed in a former 

 communication. The remarkable carina which is so evident on 

 the elytra of one of the latter, and of which only a faint trace 

 exists in the other, disappears altogether in the present species; 

 in this, too, the antennae are proportionably longer and the joints 

 less dilated, the third being longer than the first ; the legs, also, 

 are more slender, and the whole form less robust. 



Tmes'isternus gral'wsus. (PI. XXII. fig. 4.) 

 T. niger, nitidus, glaberrimus ; prothorace lateribus albo-vittatis ; 

 elytris biapiculatis, singulis lineis tribus curvatis albis ; sub- 

 tus thorace albo-marginatis, segmentis abdominis lateribus 

 albo-maculatis. Insula Pinorum. 

 Black, smooth and shining, with a very slight brassy tint, and 

 marked above and beneath with lines and stripes, formed by short 

 white closely-appressed hairs ; on the head, between the eye and 

 the insertion of the antennas, again behind the eye, which is con- 

 tinuous with a lateral thoracic stripe ; an oblong central spot on 

 the scutellum, and lastly, four transverse white marks on each 

 elytron not meeting at the suture, the first close to the junction 

 with the thorax, the second about the middle, which is slightly 

 interrupted, the third curved downwards, and at the apex we 

 have it formed by the line of hairs projecting backwards. Be- 

 neath there is the same polished surface as the thorax, more or 

 less margined with white lines of hairs, as well as the abdominal 

 segments at the sides anteriorly, but gradually becoming oblite- 

 rated towards the last. 

 Length 5 lines.
