the appearance of an oblique patch ; legs and antennae with sparse 

 greyish hairs. 



Length 5 lines. 



This and the two next — pullata and hisuJaris — differ in the 

 smoother prothorax from the typical N. saperdoides, but in 

 another species from Aru, in Mr. Wallace's private collection, 

 obviously congeneric, the prothorax rises into three longitudinal 

 crests. 



I have dedicated this species to R. Bakevvell, Esq., whose re- 

 searches in Australia have added a great number of new species to 

 our lists, especially among the Hymetioptera. 



Nyphona puilata. 

 N. oblonga, picea, punctata, pube pallide-grisea sparse tecta ; 

 elytrissub-parallelis plaga, media, maculisque cinereis, obscure 

 irroratis. 

 Aru. 



Oblong, pitchy, coarsely punctured, sparingly covered with a 

 pale greyish pubescence ; elytra nearly parallel for about two- 

 thirds of their length, then gradually contracting and rounded at 

 the apex, with an obscure greyish patch on the middle of each, 

 and several small spots of the same colour (but all formed by 

 denser and longer pubescence) scattered over their surface. 

 Length 6| lines. 



Nyphonn insularis. 



N. picea, punctata, hirsutula, pube fulvida sparse tecta ; elytris 

 brevibus sub-parallelis, fascia pone medium irregulari,obliqua, 

 sub-grisea, fulvaque varia. 



Sumatra ? Aru. 



Pitchy, coarsely punctured, with a sparse fulvous pubescence 

 slightly varied with greyish, and mixed with short stiffish hairs ; 

 elytra rather short, the sides .nearly parallel, behind the middle an 

 irregular oblique greyish band having on it patches of fulvous ; 

 beneath greyish hairy. 



Length 5 lines. 



My specimens of this species were originally in the collection of 

 the Zoological Society, without a locality, but derived apparently 

 from Sir S. Raffles ; they prove to be identical with a single spe- 

 cimen from Aru. 



Coptops nanus. 

 C. griseo-pubescens, maculis fusco-brunneis irroratis ; elytris 



sub-trifasciatis ; antennis pedibusque annulatis. 

 Aru.
