In the exampU- from Boeroe (= Bum) the .subajiicil white bar is absent. The 

 sin^'le other specimen in tlie Tring Musenin from that island, bnt from an altitude 

 of about 3011(1 ft., is a ? in which the bar is [jresent. The example from the coast 

 (lla(; represents perhaps a distinct subspecies.

Hill Madjedja, North Nias, x.-xii. 1895 (I. Z. Kannegieter) ; 1 ?. 



In facies similar to A'. «y«v7'w,'»//.s Jord. (I.s'.i8), but quite different in the structure 

 of the antenna and the position of the black markings. 1 expect the cj-antenna 

 to have the third segment long, as in X. fiiii/i'llritiiK. 



Antenna black, the bases of segments 4 and o and the entire segments 7 and 8 

 white, 2 and 3 equal in length, 4 and 5 slightly compressed, pubescence appressed, 

 smooth. The black central stripe of the pronotnm rounded at the sides, slightly 

 narrower in front than behind, the median depression only distinct posteriorly, the 

 black lateral stripe enclosing the carina of even width from apex to base, about half 

 the width of the butKsh white dorso-lateral stripe. The basal spot surrounding the 

 scutellum semicircular, velvety black like the other markings of the upperside, 

 reaching nearly to the second line of punctures not counting the scntellar line; 

 scutellum also black ; a submedian patch extending from near the third line 

 of punctures to the lateral margin, where it is broadest, its anterior edge sinuous, 

 posterior edge obliquely incurved dorsally ; declivous apical area entirely velvety 

 black, the longitudinal diameter of this patch about as long as the distance from the 

 submedian spot, the patch slightly denticulate, with a larger tooth in second line of 

 jiunctures, a triangular sinus upon suture, an incision near margin and a linear 

 marginal projection extending to near median spot. 



Median portion of mesosternite exclusire of intercoxal process black, anterior
