wards from the base, connected along the suture with a transverse 

 fascia and an oblong apical spot, greenish yellow ; first seven 

 joints of the antennae, femora and tibiae black, the two latter with 

 the pubescence of a greenish hue, rest of the antennae and tarsi 

 white beneath, with the breast pale red, the remainder dull white ; 

 antennae testaceous, nearly as long as the body, the fourth joint 

 slightly spined ; prothorax oblong, elliptic. 

 Length 7 lines. 



Clytus viverra. 



C. cinereus, elongatus ; prothorace obsolete nigro-.fasciato ; 

 elytris linea curvata humerali medid, alteraque lata versus 

 apicem, nigris. Borneo. 



Elongate, pubescent, cinereous grey ; prothorax oblong, elliptic, 

 with an obscure black band ; elytra with a curved line near the 

 shoulders, an arched band at the middle, and a broad one below, 

 black; legs and antennae black, with a sparse ashy pubescence, the 

 latter setaceous, rather shorter than the body, with the third and 

 fourth joints strongly spined at the apex. 



Length 7 lines. 



This and the above, with C. elongatidus and others, should 

 probably form a distinct group, but the whole genus requires a 

 revision. 



Rliaphuma placida. 



R. 'pallide miniacea ; capite nigro ; elytris apice albo-marginatis, 

 maculis duabus nigris, altera pone medium (guttula alba ante 

 maculam), altera magna versus apicem ; infra nigrd albo- 

 varia. Macassar. 



Pale red, inclining to orange ; head black, produced anteriorly, 

 with two rows of whitish hairs beneath the eyes ; prothorax 

 elongate, elliptic; elytra narrow, the apex truncated, bordered 

 with white and succeeded by a large black patch, behind the 

 middle a white spot, followed by a larger black one; beneath 

 black, the breast covered with white hairs, the sides of the 

 metathorax and posterior margin of the abdominal segments 

 white; antennae with the last six joints darker ; legs pale reddish, 

 the posterior pair nearly black. 



Length 5 lines. 



Very nearly allied to Clytus quaJricolor (Lap. et Gory), and 

 probably also to the barbarously-named C. IciicoscuteUatus. The 

 former was the type of Dejean's genus Rhaphium, but as that
