in tlie colour of the anteniife, elytra, and win<^s. It is also 

 very close to a new species wiiicli I have quoted as a variety of 

 Ch. melanocephalus.

The above description I have received in litt. from M. de 

 Bormans, and to this species I now refer the variety of 

 Ch. melanocephalus mentioned by me in this Magazine 

 {Chelisoches melanocephalus, Dolirn, var. nov., Burr, Ann. & 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) sx. 1897, p. 315). 



The three species in question may be separated as follows : — 



1. Elytra fla\ida melanocephalus, Dohru, 



1, 1. Ehtra fusca vel niofi-a. 



2. Antennae articulis 1-13 nigris . . Dohertyi, u. 

 2, 2. Antennae articulis 1-4 flavidis, 



o-lO fuscis semiluteus, Borm. 



Ch. melanocephalus was described by Dohrn from specimens 

 from Tranquebar. The type of de Bormans's semiluteus in 

 the Brunner collection is from exactly the same locality as the 

 specimen recorded by me as a new variety. A second 

 specimen of the same in my collection shows that the complete 

 antennae are the same as in de Bormans's type. The three 

 species will then stand as follows : — 



Chelisoches melanocephalus, Dohrn. 



Lohophora melanocephala, Doln-n, Stett. ent. Zeit. 18(j5. 



Chelisoches vielanocephalus, Scudd. Proc. Bost. Soc. X. II. xviii. 187o-7<>, 



p. 308; Borm. Aan. Mu3. Civ. Gen. (2) yI. p. 440 (1888) ; Borm. 



op. cit. xiv. p. 392 (1894) (uec Burr). 



Antennae articulis 1-2 nigris, ceteris bruuneis ; elytra et alte tlavo- 

 testacea.
