462 Lougicornia Malay una. 



Tines'islernus equeslris. 



T. capite prothoraceque fusco-aeneis ; elytiis aeneis, fasciis an- 

 gustatis irregnlaribus quatuor albis ornatis. 



Hab. — Dorey, Saylee. 



Head and prothorax dark brassy, slightly pubescent, coarsely 

 and ratlier sparsely punctured; sciitelluin rounded at the sides, 

 slightly pointed at the apex, margined with fulvous ; elytra green- 

 ish-brassy, very glossy, with a very few coarse punctures at the 

 base, the sides with very small widely separated punctures, four 

 narrow irregular bands, nearly continuous except at the base, where 

 the band is made up of small scarcely connected spots; body be- 

 neath brassy, with greyish markings at the sides and on the pectus ; 

 logs brassy, the tarsi ashy-grey ; antennae thinly pubescent. 



Length 1 1 lines. 



This species differs from the preceding in its narrow, nearly un- 

 broken bands, the larger size of the elytra in proportion to the 

 prothorax, and other characters ; it is easy to conceive interme- 

 diate forms which might bridge over these differences, but the 

 two look very distinct for nearly allied species. 



Tmeshlernus Scliaumii. (PI. XIX. fig. 2.) 



T. capite prothoraceque nigris, subnitidis ; elytris cyaneis, 

 nitidis, vittis albis abbreviatis fascias duas formantibus. 



Hab.— Key. 



Head and ])rothorax black, slightly nitid, coarsely and sparsely 

 ])unctured, the latter with an irregular indefinite stripe on each 

 side, and the base bordered with ochraceous ; scutellum slightly 

 transverse, rounded at the base and sides, the apex slightly pointed, 

 the middle with a large shallow depression ; elytra dark chaly- 

 l)eate-blue, very glossy, eight or ten small pimctures on each near 

 the shoulder, the rest with a few very minute scattered punctures, 

 a band composed of short white, very distinct, stripes just before 

 the middle, and a narrower band of the same character behind it; 

 body beneath glossy-black, metathorax and its episterna varied 

 with golden-fulvous stripes; legs and antennai black, the latter 

 clothed with appressed greyish hairs. 



Length 12 lines. 



This very distinct species I have dedicated to the celebrated 

 Ik'rlin Professor, whose early death Science will long regret.
