Genera and Species of Coleoptera. 63 



recurvod spine on each towards, but at sonio distanco from tlio base, 

 the sides with three or four brown patches, the outer apical anji^le pro- 

 duced ; k^g-s dark brown, the basal portions of the femora and tibiic 

 reddish-testaceous ; antenna) lon<^er than the body, slightly setose, red- 

 dish-brown, the apices of the intermediate joints black; body beneath 

 reddish-brown. Leng-th 5 lines. 



From the slender and elongated tarsi, particularly the posterior, I 

 should be inclined to refer this genus to the neighbourhood of 

 (Edopeza, rather than to Monohammuii,v^\\cYc formerly I had doubt- 

 fully placed it. Except the slightest possible variation in the patches 

 on the elytra, there appears to be no difference between the Batchian 

 and Dory insects.

Astathes caloptera. 



A. atra, nitida, breviter setosa; elytris Isete cyaneo-violaceis ; anteunis 

 testaceis, apicem versus infuscatis. 



Hah. Borneo. 



Ovate, sparingly clothed with short setose hairs j head and prothorax 

 shining black with a slight copper tinge, and a few scattered punctiu'es ; 

 scutellum very transverse, black j elytra deep bluish- violet, very brio-ht 

 and glossy, and in certain lights having a strong piu^jle tinge, their disc 

 somewhat concave, and each having two abbreviated costa3 ; antennae 

 pale testaceous-yellow, the apex dark brown ; body beneath and leo-s 

 black, the last abdominal segment obsciu'ely testaceous. Length 5 lines. 



A most beautiful species, approaching my A. purpurea, but per- 

 fectly distinct. It was found in Borneo by Lieut. De Crespigny ; 

 and does not occur, I believe, in Mr. Wallace's collections.
