f. 7, 9 . 



Hab. — Coram, Amboyna (Coll. Wall.) . 



The male specimens are often wholly black, with two 

 elongate patches of orange on the elytra, and have one 

 lateral tooth on the anterior tibias, and the hind tibias 

 unarmed ; the females have the anterior tibiae with two 

 lateral teeth, and the hind tibite with a strong spine, and 

 are colom-ed more or less as in Whitens figure. In the 

 Tijdschrift voor Entomologie (vol. vii, p. 155), Vollen- 

 hoven notes the varieties of this insect, but says nothing 

 of the sexual differences. It is rare, and is only captured 

 at the sap of the sugar palm (Areiuja saccharifera.) * 



2. ScHizoKHiNA NiGEKEiMA, VoUenhovon. 



Schizorhvna nigerrima, Voll. Tijd. v. Ent. \'ii. p. 156. 



''Nigerrima, nitida, clypeo pai-um emarginato." (Voll.) 



Hab.— Movt J Is. (Voll.); Batchian (Coll. Wall.) . 



Distinguished from S. ebenina, Butler, by the scarcely 

 emarginate clypeus. 



3. SCHIZOKHINA EMILIA, White. 



Schizorhina {Hemipharis?) emilia, "VVTiite, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. 1856, p. 16, pi. xli. f. 9. 



Hab.— New Hebrides (Coll. Parry, B. M.) . 



This, and the three folloAving species, form a little 

 group, having a fades very distinct from the rest of the 

 genus. 



* SCHIZOEHINA EBENINA, Butlcr. 



Schizorhina ebenina, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 729 (fig-)- 



Hal;.— Oceania ? (B. M., ? )- 



This species is very closely allied to S. flammula, ami if it were kiiown 

 to be from the same locality, I should certainly consider it an extreme 

 black form of that species.
