Hab. Now Guinea i Wdttaa \. 



Thorax rather small, the mesial areolet nearly extending to the 

 anterior margin, moderately broad before the middle. Elytra with 

 tho eight custio wry distinct, the alternate ones less elevated in the 

 middle of the elytra, hut equally distinct at the base ; the interstices 

 have each a single lino of close, strong punctures. The yellow at 

 tho apex of the elytra extends for rather more than one third of 

 their length. 



At some little distance from the apex the fifth and seventh fine 

 costee are united to the sixth; and the fifth and sixth, and the 

 seventh and eighth Hues of punctures become united, the punctures 

 then being transverse. I believe these abbreviated costae to be a 

 malformation ; but the two elytra being exactly similar, it may be 

 normal. 



Metriorrhynchus vagans. 



(Plate XIII. fig. 10.) 



Ater ; thorace rufo-flavo, septernareolato ; elytris octocostatis, in- 

 terstitiis biseriatim crebre fortiter punctatis, seriebus linea tenui 

 divisis. 2 • Long. 5 lin. 



Hah. Sumatra. 



A much shorter species than any of the preceding, with very 

 coarsely punctured interstices to the elytra. The thorax has the 

 seven arcolets very distinct, the posterior angles are acute and slightly 

 diverging. 



This species closely resembles Bulenides turbidus (before de- 

 scribed), but differs in the form of the thorax, which has also 

 seven areolets instead of a single narrower discoidal one.
