with ochreous-ringed punctures, each with a white recumbent 

 seta ; bodj beneath and legs mostly closely spotted with aft 

 ochreous pile ; the femora armed with a small acute but con- 

 spicuous tooth beneath. 



Laogenia laticollis. (PI. XI. fig. 2.) 



L. angusta, obovata, nigrescens ; prothorace valde ampliato, utriu- 

 que rotundato ; elytris subcuneiformibus. Long. 4 lin. 



Hab. North Borneo. 



Narrowly obovate, blackish ; rostrum ( ,$ ) granulated on 

 each side ; antennae somewhat pitchy ; prothorax very broad, 

 the middle longitudinally concave, closely punctured, each 

 puncture filled with a pale yellowish scale ; scutellum nearly 

 round ; elytra much narrower than the prothorax and a little 

 longer, subcuneiform, striate-punctate, the punctures quadrate 

 and approximate, interstices narrow ; pygidium triangular ; 

 fore legs longest, their tibige bearded internally. 



The prothorax is much broader and more rounded at the 

 sides than in the other species, except L. intrusa, which, with 

 a much narrower prothorax, has the elytra more nearly parallel 

 at the sides. 



Tyndides luctuosus. (PI. XI. fig. 5.) 



T. ellipticus, nigro-velutinus, lineis palUde ochraceis conspicue orna- 

 tus ; rostro dimidio apicali nigro, nitido ; tarsis posticis elongatis. 

 Long. 8| lin. (rostr. incl.). 



Hah. North Borneo. 



Elliptic, clothed with a black velvety pile varied with 

 white stripes or lines ; rostrum glossy black ; the basal half 

 and anterior border of the prothorax crowded with impressed 

 punctures filled with a ring of ochreous scales ; antennas 

 moderately long ; prothorax conical, half as long again as its 

 breadth at the base, a broad irregular ochreous stripe on each 

 side 5 scutellum short, black, glabrous ; elytra ratiier longer 

 than the prothorax, seriate-punctate, punctures rather large, 

 but on the black portion not very evident, the base, suture, 

 and sides bordered with ochreous, and a narrow, fiexuous, 

 transverse band of the same colour behind the middle ; pygi- 

 dium black with three ochreous stripes ; body beneath black, 

 sides of the sterna ochreous ; legs closely dotted with ochreous 

 scales. 



A well-marked species, but agreeing generically with the 

 two species recorded by me in the * Journal of the Linnean 

 Society,' xii. p. 68. A strict application of the character of 

 a straight rostrum leads me to transfer Prodioctes amcenus to 

 Tyndides, but it has the coloration of several species, scarcely
