little prominences are also obvious enough on the antennae of the 

 females. 



Palimna tessellata. (PI. VI. fig. 2.) 

 Golsinda tessellata, Pascoe, Trans. Ent. Soc, ser. 2, iv. 49. 



P. nigra, albo-maculata, densissime et brevissime pubescens ; 

 elytris apice truncatis, tarsorum articulo ultimo medio albo. 



Sab. — Sarawak. 



Cloudy, covered with a very short dull black pubescence, marked 

 with large, oval or round, distinct, white, occasionally confluent, 

 spots ; band between the eyes and the vertex black, rest of the head 

 white, including an X-shaped mark between the tubers ; mandibles 

 and palpi black ; prothorax about equal in length and breadth, a 

 short tooth on each side, and four tubercles, with a central smaller 

 one, on the disc ; scutellum scutiform ; elytra with two erect 

 spines at the base of each, and a few black granules, from each 

 shoulder an oblique angular line marking a deflexion of the ely- 

 tron, the apex shortly truncate ; legs and antennae ringed with 

 black and white, first two joints of the tarsi white bordered with 

 black, the rest black, except the middle of the claw-joint ; inner 

 margin of the protibiae minutely corrugated. 



Length 6 — 11 lines.

Caput, oculi et antennce ut in Palimna, sed articulo sexto lami- 

 nato-producto. Prothorax quadratus, lateribus parallelus et 

 inermis, disco subirregulari. Elytra, pedes et sterna ut in 

 Palimna, 

 There is very little beyond the form of the prothorax to sepa- 

 rate this genus from Palimna; the position of the " lamina" on 

 the sixth instead of the seventh antennal joint is perhaps more 

 remarkable than important. 



Goninges infausta. (PI. VI. fig. 3.)

G. obscure fusca, brevissime pubescens, elytris griseo-variis. 



Hah, — Sarawak. 



Pubescence very short, dull blackish-brown, obscurely varied 

 with grey on the elytra ; head beneath the eyes, and spot behind 

 them, greyish ; prothorax slightly gibbous on each side, with a few 

 very small glossy granules ; scutellum rather short ; elytra much 

 shorter in the male, coarsely punctured, especially on the middle, 

 two stout spines at the base and two smaller spines on the shoul- 

 ders ; body beneath and legs with a sparse greyish pile, the tarsi
