Four males and three females, communicated by Dr. 

 Peringuey. A small form resembling //. lineaticornis, but 

 diti'ering from it in the more slender, differently-coloured 

 autennse in the c? , the third and fourth joints of which are 

 ( longate and want the shining black area beneath. The ? 

 is smaller than that of 11. erosu^, Er., and wants the deep 

 median sulcus on the pygidium.

Dr. Peringuey has lent me a male and two females of this

 joint is a remarkable character in the S • The prothorax is
