564 Mr. A. R. Wallace's Catalogue 



A pair only of this superb insect were obtained, with 

 the other species, on the extreme N.W. Peninsula of 

 New Gruinea. They are fortunately of opposite sexes, and 

 enable me to point out the somewhat unusu.al sexual 

 characters, which are much more strongly marked than 

 in the other species. 



Sub.-fam. V. CETOmiN-ZE. 



Gen. XII. EuEYOMiA, Burmeister. 



This genus comprises many very distinct-looking in- 

 sects. Some are found on foliage, others on flowers, and 

 one {E. quadriguttata) was taken on a foetid Boletus. The 

 species are spread over the whole Archipelago.
