21 Mr. (lilbort. J. Arrow's Ckrnlrihvlion to the 



transverse and tlie Otli joint not distinctly larger than 

 the 8th. The 2nd joint is shghtly elon<>ate, the 4th a little 

 shorter than the 2nd (as in Lycopcrdina) and the 3rd about 

 twice as long as the 4th. 



In size, colour and general appearance there is a strong 

 resemblance to Lycoperdina sericea, but the colour is 

 generally more uniformly reddish (in one specimen the 

 median dorsal part is nearly black). The tarsi and the 

 club of the antenna alone are pale. The pronotum is 

 shorter and the elytra are longer than in Lyco'perdma, and 

 the latter are rather parallel-sided, not perceptibly dilating 

 behind the shoulders. The entire upper surface is closely 

 and rather strongly punctured and clothed wth decumbeiit 

 grey hairs. 



The curved hind tibia of the male bears a minute spine 

 just before the extremity, and the hind femur in that sex 

 is provided with a comb-like series of still more minute 

 teeth unlike anything else known in the family. 



Genus Dryadites. 



Mycetina eruhescens Gorh., is a species of Dryadites, a 

 genus very different from Mycetina. There is nothing in 

 the description by which the insect can be distinguished 

 from B. borneensis Friv, 



The following species also belong to the genus. 



Dryadites latipennis, sp. n. 



Niger, nitidus, pronoto nibio, liiica mediana nigra, clytrisque 

 rufis, nigrocinctis, margine nigro antice et postice paulo latiori; 

 late ovatus, protliorace lato, lateribus regulariter arcuatis, angulis 

 anticis sat remotis; elytris brcvibus, conjunctim vix longioribus 

 quam latioribus, fere circularibus, lateribus late explanatis, fortiter 

 arcuatis ; antennis sat gracilibus, clava minuta, articulo 9" triangu- 

 lar!, baud lato, 10° et 11° brevissimis, connatis, 11° quam 10° multo 

 angustiori. 



Long. 5 mm. ; lat. max. 4 mm. 



Hab. W. Sarawak : Mt. Matang, 2,000 ft. {G. E. Bryant, 

 Jan., Feb.). 



This is closely similar to D. borneensis Friv., which Mr. 

 Bryant also rediscovered in its original habitat, Mt. Matang, 

 but the red patches cover the greater part of the surface 

 of the elytra, whose outline they follow instead of being
