The type of Cameron's species from Borneo has the red 

 colour of the hind and intermediate femora and coxae very 

 strongly suffused with green, but does not seem to differ 

 otherwise.

 Ampuhx foveifro7is, Cam. MS. ? 



Specimens marked as type and co-type oi foveifrons are in 

 the British Museum, but I cannot find that the name has 

 been published. 



A. cognata, Kohl, is at most a local form of this species, 

 differing in the more strongly punctured pronotum and the 

 greater depth of the pronotal longitudinal furrow. The 

 specimen recorded by Bingham from the Khasi Hills is now 

 in the British Museum, and answers well to Kohl's descrip- 

 tion, being thus apparently identical with the Java variety 

 rather than with Bornean specimens. Cameron, whose 

 work on this genus is very careless, throws doubt on 

 Bingham's record without any cause.
