part of the thorax. Thorax with its anterior third 

 suddenly and abruptly constricted. Anterior femora a 

 little dilated. Hind tarsi with the basal joint elongate, 

 the 4th joint bilobed. 



Simius pulchellus, Kraatz (fi'om Ceylon), belongs to

Very closely allied to N. ■pulchellus, Kr., but with quite 

 different male structure of the 6 th ventral segment ; also 

 with the antennae rather longer and more slender, the 

 elytra a little longer, and also with some slight colour dis- 

 tinctions. The antennae are long and very slender, pale 

 yellow, joints 2 — 5 sometimes infuscate, sometimes not 

 paler than the rest. Head blackish, broader than the 

 thorax, densely and rugosely punctured. Thorax with 

 its greatest width in front of the middle, where it is equal 

 to the elytra; it is considerably narrowed behind; it is of a 

 blackish colour, coarsely, densely, and rugosely punc- 

 tured. Elytra rather shorter than the thorax, black, Avith 

 the extremity pale yellow, coarsely and rather closely 

 punctured, but distinctly shining. Hind body slightly 

 dilated towards the extremity, rather closely punctured. 

 Legs pale yellow, the extremity of the femora a little 

 infuscate, as are also the four front tibite ; hind tarsi very 

 long. 



_ The pigmentary matter is liable to be more or less defi- 

 cient, as in Sunius cmgustatus. 



Nagasaki, one specimen of type, and one of pale form ; 

 North China, two individuals of type, and one of the pale 

 form.
