19. LoMAPTERA PYGiDiALis, Thomson. 

 Lomaptera pygidialis, Thorns. Mus. Scient. p. 35. 



Eah.—Kaioa. Island (CoU. Wall., B. M.) . 



The anterior tibiae have a single strong tooth in the 

 female, and a very obsolete one in the male. 



Abundant at certain seasons, and would probably be 

 also found in Makian, and perhaps in Tidore and Ter- 

 nate. 



20. LOMAPTEKA BATCHIANA, ThomSOn. 



Lomaptera batcMana, Thoms. Mus. Scient. p. 35. 



ITai.— Batchian, Gilolo, Morty Is. (Coll. Wall., B. M.) . 



This species differs from L. pygidialis by its less punc- 

 tured and striated upper surface, and by the pygidium 

 of the female being much more produced and compressed. 

 The specimens from Morty Island show a further slight 

 difference in the form of the pygidium, but are not suffi- 

 ciently marked or definite to be described as specifically 

 distinct. Both species were abundant at the flowers and 

 sap of palms.

Lsete virens, nitida, elytris tenuissime transverso-striatis : 

 mas, pygidio conoideo, tibiis anterioribus inermibus.

 golden-green ; thorax very finely punctu.red in the 

 middle, more coarsely at the sides, anterior angles acute ; 

 elytra finely transversely- striate, the base smooth. The 

 pygidium regularly conoidal, finely rugose-striate ; abdo- 

 men deeply furrowed beneath, outer edge of anterior 

 tibiee quite smooth ; sternal process straight, slightly 

 divergent, scarcely incurved at the tip.

Hah. — Cape York (Coll. Parry), Lizard Island 

 (B.M.). 



The Lizard Island specimens are larger and more 

 golden, but otherwise do not differ.
