Lucanidse. 

 Dorcus suturalis, Westwood. 



Three males and two females of this interesting species 

 have recently been received from Major Yerbury, who col- 

 lected them at Campbellpore. The female has not, I believe, 

 been described. It somewhat resembles the female of D. mu- 

 simon, but is of course larger (13 lines long) and is a little 

 less parallel. The head is very rugose, with two very slight 

 frontal tubercles. The thorax is shining, with some hue 

 punctures scattered on the surface ; there are some deeper 

 punctures at the sides, which at the hind angles are close 

 together ; there are also a few large punctures on each side of 

 an extremely shallow impression on the disk. The elytra 

 are nearly as in I), musimon, but there is a somewhat broad 

 smooth sutural area, owing to the first and third strias being 

 much reduced and consisting of comparatively fine punc- 

 tures ; the second stria is represented by some fine irregularly- 

 placed punctures ; the interval between the third and fourth 

 strias is broad, with some very fine scattered punctures. 



Cetoniidse. 



ToBciloyharis Woodfordi^ n. sp. 



Oblouga, parallela, viridi-aenea, cupreo tincta, nitida ; thorace later- 

 ibus parce fortiter punctatis ; ehtris sat fortiter striato-punctatis, 

 maculis uoDUullis vix perspicuis flavescentibus ornatis, lateribus 

 postice trans versim striolatis; tibiis anticis dentibus tribus approxi- 

 matis parallelis armatis. 



Long. 23 millim. 



This species is allied to P. uniformis^ Waterli. (Ann. & 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. 1884, xiii. p. 370), which has the three 

 apical teeth of the anterior tibiae equidistant and parallel to 

 each other. The tibiae themselves are narrow and parallel, 

 obliquely wrinkled and strongly punctured. The head is very 

 finely sculptured, with some large punctures on the forehead ; 

 the female has some punctures at the side of the clypeus, 

 which has the anterior margin nearly straight. The thorax 

 has a few large punctures on each side of the disk and more 

 at the sides, 'i'he seven lines of punctures on the elytra are
