A variety of venusta, Gu^r., differing slightly in the markings 

 of the female, occurs in the island of Ternate. 



From the fact that all the specimens of G. obsoletepunctata, 

 Thonis. {r=ianthey Pasc), in our collections are males and 

 agree in localities with those of G. anti'cepunciata, Thorns., 

 which are all females, I have been led to infer that those 

 two series of specimens are merely sexes of one species. 

 The females differ from the males in having a distinct tawny 

 band along the vertex of the head and the middle of the 

 pronotum. For similar reasons I conclude that G. egeria^ 

 Pasc, merely represents the male sex of G. udetera, Thorns., 

 and suspect that Glenea nympha^ Thorns., will prove to be 

 the male of Glenea junoj Thoms, 



3. New Species of Glenea. 

 Glenea zalinensis, sp. n. 



Caenileo-pubescens, nigro maculata et plagiata ; prothorace supra 

 maculis quatuor nigris — duabus ante medium, duabus ad basin — 

 et lateraliter utrinque macula rotunda nigra ; elytris modice 

 elongatis, postice gradatim angustatis, apice truncatis et extus 

 breviter spiuosis, utrisque maculis vel plagis quatuor nigris trans- 

 versis signatis — duabus inter medium basinque duabus inter 

 medium apicemquo ; latere deflexo ca^ruleo, macula nigra prope 

 basin signato ; corpore subtus pcdibusque cteruleis, pectore 

 utrinque macula nigra et abdomine utrinque maculis nigris 

 transversis in scrie ordinatis, signatis ; antennis nigris, articulis 

 tribus basalibus ca^rulescentibus. 



Long. 17, lat. 6 mm. 



JIab. Zaline River, Tenasserim. 



Type (?) in British Museum collection. Presented by 

 Col. Bingham. 



This species seems most nearly allied to Glenea celia, Pasc, 

 to which it has much resemblance in colour, though differing 

 from the latter in having six black spots on the prothorax — 

 four above and one on each side, — and in having the two 

 posterior black spots of each elytron as large as the anterior 

 spots (in G. celia they are smaller). It differs also from 

 G. celia in being a relatively narrower insect, witii the 

 anteniiEB longer and more slender, reaching in the female to 

 the apex of the elytra, whereas in the same sex of G. celia 

 the antennaj only reach to about the beginning of the poste- 

 rior fourth of the elytra.
