Coleoptera from Ceylun. 71 



In the male the posterior part of the eljtra is more gradually 

 and less widely dilated and much less convex above than in 

 the female. It varies, however, a little in both sexes. The 

 sulci of the forehead are in some examples of both forms 

 distinctly traced, in others quite obsolete. 



In the var. ohscuripes^ which Mr. Lewis found confined to 

 one tree and to be slower in its motions than the type form, 

 the legs appear to be a little shorter. 



Collyris Saundersii. 

 Collyris Saundei'sii, Chaudoir, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 18G4, p. 496 ? 



Colombo. 



One example agreeing with the description above cited, 

 except that the coxte are red like the thighs, and not black. 

 In a genus like Gollyris, where the extent of specific variation 

 is at present ill understood, it would be inexpedient to found 

 a new species on this difi:erential char?cter. 



Collyris ? 



One example with the antennfe deficient, and the species 

 consequently undeterminable.
