108 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



Black, slightly punctured and shining, a snowy-white line, 

 composed of very short appressed hairs, extending from the eye 

 along the sides of the prothorax and elytra to about the middle, 

 where it crosses and unites with the opposite one, and behind this, 

 but not quite at the apex, a crescent-sliaped line, from which, at 

 the suture, a finer line is continued to the apex ; under surface, 

 with the sides of the thorax and abdominal segments, whitish. 



Length 5 5 lines. 



Tiiis differs from the true Apomecynce in having the elytra 

 rounded at the apex. 



Entelopes ionoplera. (PI. XXIII. fig. 8.) 



E. luteus ; elytris crebre punctatis verticeque violaceis ; apice 

 elytrorum luteis. Borneo. 



Luteous yellow ; crown of the head deep violet ; eyes and tips 

 of the mandibles black ; elytra rich violet, except a very small 

 patch on the spinous apex, which is yellow, the upper two-thirds 

 finely pubescent and thickly punctured, the lower third smooth 

 and shining, with the punctures unfrequent. 



Length 4^ lines. 



This is a true species of Entelopes, agreeing perfectly in generic 

 character but having the elytra a little less convex ; in colouring, 

 liowever, it departs entirely from the two or three (?) other 

 species known, and in this respect it approaches very nearly 

 Astathes. 



Astathes strammea. 



A. purpureo-atra, angusta ; antennis, elytris, pedibusque pallida 

 luteis. Burmah, prope Rangoon. 



The head, thorax and the whole under surface purplish black ; 

 the antennae, which are slightly ciliated beneath, legs and elytra, 

 pale fulvous yellow, the latter faintly striate and shining ; pro- 

 thorax transversely trituberculate. 



Length 4g lines. 



Astathes purpurea. 



A. purpurea, nitida ; metathorace subtus, antennis, tarsisque 

 flavidis. Malacca. 



Deep purple, shining ; prothorax with three central tubercles 

 and one on either side ; elytra each with two abbreviated costae ; 

 metathorax beneath, antennae and tarsi dull yellowish. 



Length 5 lines.
