thorace sat depresso latitudine paulo breviori, medio linea tenui im- 

 presso; elytris striis plurimis. $. Long. 4| lin. 



Hah. Java (J. C. Bowring, Esq.). 



Most nearly allied to C. velutinus, but more depressed. Thorax 

 above less uneven, the mesial line finer, the sides rather straighter ; 

 the lateral ridge is less strong, a little more posterior, and very 

 short. Scutellum red at the apex. Elytra nearly parallel, flat ; 

 each elytron with about seven finely impressed lines, the interstices 

 flat ; the extreme apex is bordered with black.

Niger, parallelus ; thorace transversim quadrato, lateribus rufis, 

 haud marginatis ; elytris rufis haud striatis ; pedibus tenuibus, 

 tarsis longis gracilibus. Long. 85 lin. 



ITab. India. 



General form and appearance of Lygistopterus sanguineus, but a 

 little narrower. E-ostrum none. Antennae slender. Thorax a little 

 broader than long, straight at the sides, which are red, the disk 

 with a fine mesial line ; the lateral margins not incrassated ; a 

 slight swelling near the posterior angle indicates the usual lateral 

 plica. Elytra as in L. sanguineus, but with no visible striae.

Elongatus, postice paulo ampliatus, niger, vix cyanescens ; thorace 

 nigro (vel rubro), tenuissime rubro-sericeo ; elytris rufo-testaceis,

5 . Long. 5-6 lin. 



Hah. Penang {J. C. Bowring, Esq.). 



S . Antennae about two thirds the length of the elytra, moderately 

 broad in the middle, tapering to the apex. Rostrum extremely 

 short, the space between the antennal pit and the base of the man- 

 dible about one third the diameter of the antennal pit. Thorax 

 black, clothed with very fine silky-red pubescence, only visible in 

 certain lights ; the discoidal channel rather deep, the lateral impres- 

 sions deep and well-defined. Scutellum black. Elytra clothed with 

 bright red pubescence ; each elytron with two not very prominent 

 costfe. The underside and the legs black, scarcely tinged with blue. 

 Penultimate segment of the abdomen cmarginate. 



5 . Antennae rather shorter and broader than in the male. Ros- 

 trum a little more prominent ; the space between the antennal pit 

 and the base of the mandible about half the diameter of the pit.
