Euclea illecebrosa. (PI. VIII. fig. 3.) 



E. nigro-chalybeata, pube interrupta alba ornata ; prothoracis 

 disco et elytrorum maculis plurimis gkbris, illo chalybeato- 

 metallico. 



ITab. — Celebes (Menado, Tondano). 



Dark chalybeate, with an interrupted dense white pubescence ; 

 head slightly carinated in front, the pubescence rather coarse with 

 a light huffy tint j prothorax slightly rounded at the sides, the 

 disc dark steel-blue and very glossy, on each side close adpressed 

 hairs, mostly placed transversely ; scutelluni transverse, rounded 

 behind, glabrous ; elytra pubescent, white, with large glabrous 

 spots, one common to both in the centre, at the base of each, two 

 sometimes conjoined, or two in addition, behind the outer one ; 

 behind the middle a transverse patch, and another oblong one at 

 the apex, or these more or less combined, &c. ; body beneath and 

 legs with a thin white pubescence ; antennae about half as long as 

 the body, the first and second joints and the basal halves of the 

 third and fourth white, the remainder black ; last seven joints very 

 short. 



Length 7 — 8 lines. 



Euclea nigritarsis. 



E. pube ochracea vestita, maculis glabris nigris nitidis dispersa, 

 elytrisque fascia simillima post medium. 



Hub. — Amboyna. 



Upper surface covered with a short ochraceous pubescence, 

 with numerous glabrous black shining spots ; head roughly pu- 

 bescent, wi>h scattered punctures in front and a carina extending 

 to the epistome ; prothorax with nearly parallel sides and 

 scarcely any tooth, the pubescence with numerous small spots; 

 scutellum narrow, rather pointed ; elytra pubescent, ochraceous, 

 the spots invariably with a punctured centre, behind the middle a 



at the sides, scutellum smaller, and elytra with well-marked punctures. E. 

 albata has a close dark-brown uninterrupted pubescence, with a large white 

 patch covering the elytra, except at the apex and shoulders. E, capita is the 

 " exempluiium altcrum" of Newman. 



Euclea tnesoleuca. 



E. nigra, nitida, pube sparse niveo-irrorata; elytris punctatis, fascia latis- 

 sinia dense niveo-pubescente, ad suturam interrupta, ornatis. 



//ai.— Manilla. 



About the size of the smaller examples of jE. irrorata (7 — 8 lines), and, like 

 it, nearly glabrous, but well distinguished by the broad snowy band on the 

 elytra j from E, capilo it differs, inter alia, in its much smaller head.
