secunda ante medium prope marginem externam, tertiaque sub- 

 apicali ; hemisplieiica, capite subtiliter sat crebrc punctato, pronoto 

 ubique distincte punctato, lateribus densius, marginibus lateral- 

 ibus leviter arcuatis, angulis anticis obtusis, postieis acutis, basi 

 trisinuato, subtiliter marginato, foveis basalibus minutissimis; 

 elytris ubique aequaliter sat fortiter punctatis; antennia modice 

 gracilibus. 



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



Hah. Malay Peninsula : Varnk (W . Boherly) ; Borneo: 

 Sarawak, Mt. Meriiijak, 600 ft. {G. E. Bryant, May). 



This species resembles B. wallacei Gorh., in which the 

 elytra have each an additional red spot, but the punctTiira- 

 tion is quite different in the present case, that of the 

 pronotum much stronj^er and closer and that of the elytra 

 very reoularly and evenly distributed, without trace of 

 linear arrangement. The basal foveae of the pronotum are 

 much shorter and there is a fine mara;inal stria at the base 

 which is absent in B. wallacei. The last joint of the 

 antenna is a little lonjier than wde, and the two preceding 

 joints are distinctly transverse. 



Beccaria coccinella, sp. n. (Plate I, fig. 10.) 



Nigra, nitida, prothoracis dimidio antico elytrorumque plagis magn- 

 is utrinque duabus rufis, anteriori lunulata, liumcrem includenti, 

 posteriori subapicali, transversimrotundato, pedibusantennarumque 

 articulis 2 vcl 3 basalibus etiam obscure rufis ; hemisphaerica, capite 

 subtiliter sat dense punctato; pronoto ubique minute punctato, 

 lateribus laevissime arcuatis, angulis anticis obtusis, basi trisinuato, 

 foveis basalibus minutissimis; elytris ubique aequaliter distincte 

 punctatis. 



Long. 4-4-r) mm.; lat. max. 3*5 mm. 



Hab. Borneo : Quop, W. Sarawak {G. E. Bryani, Feb. 

 to May); Malay Peninsula : Perak {W. Doherty). 



B. coccinella has a close resemblance to B. sex-tnaculata, 

 but the whole anterior half of the pronotum is red and 

 the two anterior elytral spots are fused into ojie. The 

 puncturation of the pronotum and elytra is regular and 

 distinct, without trace of lines of punctures upon the 

 latter, but it is a little less strong and close upon the former, 

 and the fine marginal stria at the base in B. sex-macuJata 

 ip here absent.
