widely open anterior coxal cavities and otlier cliaractors 

 bring it near Lemodes, Boli., and Trichananca^ Blackb., 

 recently referred by Blair to tlie Aiitliicida^. The carinate 

 tibia? and the ji^reatly widened onter jo'nis of the antennfe 

 separate Lmviomorpha from both these genera, the general 

 facie?, too, being very different. 



Lagriomorpha seniicccniha, sp. n. 



Elongate, depressed, a little widened posteriorly, especially 

 in (J, subopaque, the elytra and under surface shining, finely 

 ])ubescent ; ochraceous or rufo-testaceous, the elytra with 

 about the apical two-thirds metallic blue, the autennal joints 

 from 4-6 onw^^rd ,(the rufescent tip of 11 excepted) black 

 and densely pubescent, the posterior legs with the knees, 

 tibiae, and first tarsal joint (and in one specimen the corre- 

 sponding portions of the intermediate legs also) sometimes 

 more or less infuscate, the abdomen in great part piceous. 

 Head closely, shallowly punctate ; antennae moderately long, 

 joint 3 slightly longer than 2, 4-11 more elongate, becoming 

 rapidly wider, 8-10 very broad, triangular, 11 acuminate- 

 ovate, much longer than 10, constricted at the middle; 

 joint 4 of maxillary palpi broader iji cJ than in $ . Pro- 

 thorax about as long as broad, rounded at the sides, obliquely 

 constricted before the base, closely, shallowly punctate, the 

 intersjjaces alutaceous. Elytra broader than the prothorax, 

 more elongate in ? than in cj , slightly depressed below the 

 base, closely, rather coarsely, confusedly punctate. Beneath 

 closely, minutely punctate, with scattered larger punctures 

 intermixed. 



Length 5^-8, breadth 1^-2^ mm. ((??). 



Bab. Mtsol and Waigiou {A. R. Wallace). 



Described from four females and two males, two of the 

 former, from Mysol, belonging to the British Museum (ex 

 coll. Pascoe), the others purchased b\' the Oxford Museum in 

 1862 or 1863, one only of them (a k ) being from Waigiou. 

 The males (one from each island) are smaller and less 

 elongate than the females, and both of them have an 

 indication of a faint, transverse or curved, pallid fascia on the 

 disc of each elytron at about one-third or one-fourth from 

 the apex.
