6. Macratria giloloana, n. sp. (Plate LXIV, fig. 15, <$, 

 posterior leg.) 



o. Elongate, rather narrow, very shining, sparsely clothed with 

 fine, adpressed, brownish and cinereous hairs, the elytra with a 

 faint whitish fascia on the disc below the base; black, the labrum, 

 mouth-parts, palpi, antennae (the infuscate terminal three joints 

 excepted), and tarsi in part, testaceous. Head as long as broad, 

 rapidly, arcuately narrowing behind the very large eyes, rounded 

 at the base, sparsely, finely punctate, smooth along the middle, 

 the occipital groove wanting; antennae long, slender, joints 9-11 

 slightly thickened, 9 and 10 not longer than those preceding, 11 

 nearly as long as !) and 10 united. Prothorax convex, narrow, 

 elongate-oval, attenuate in front, obliquely compressed on the 

 flanks posteriorly, the basal groove deep; finely punctate. Elytra 

 moderately long, much wider than the prothorax, gradually narrow- 

 ing from the base; finely punctate, and also rather coarsely striato- 

 punctate to near the apex, the interstices feebly costate externally. 

 Pj'gidium entire. Lateral lobes of acdeagus angularly dilated at 

 the apex within, truncate and feebly emarginate at the tip. Legs 

 very long; basal joint of anterior tarsi narrow, subcylindrical, that 

 of posterior pair much elongated ; posterior tibiae subangularly 

 dilated before the middle within, and there bearing several long 

 projecting hairs. 



Length 5 mm. 



Hab. Gilolo (Wallace, in Mas. Oxon.). 



One male, in good condition, acquired in 1868 by the 

 Hope Museum at Oxford. Larger and more elongate than 

 M. gestroi, with longer limbs, the head (<£) differently 

 shaped, the eyes larger, the posterior tibiae subangularly 

 dilated before the middle and bearing several long pro- 

 jecting hairs. The lateral lobes of the aedeagus are very 

 similarly shaped in the two insects, and quite different from 

 those of M. subguttata, Pasc, the last-named species having 

 still longer antennae, with a more elongate apical joint, a 

 shorter head, more closely punctured upper surface, simple 

 posterior tibiae, etc. 



7. Macratria bicincta. 



(J. Macratria bicincta, Mars., Tijdschr. voor Ent. xxv, 

 p. 50(1881). 



Terminal joint of antennae in J about as long as 8-10, in $ not 

 longer than 9 and 10, united, 8 and 9 each elongate and equal in
