416 APPENDIX. 



far from the tip, the edge between this tooth and the tip 

 being crenulato-denticulate ; there is another strong tooth on 

 the inner edge, considerably before the middle, and between 

 that and the base a few slight irregular projections on the 

 edge. The head is very wide in front, the eyes nearly 

 globular, the front hollowed out, and forming a small part 

 of a circle. The elytra and femora above are of a fawn 

 colour, with a slight metallic tinge, the suture of the elytra, 

 particularly, bronzed with metallic green; the mandibles, 

 head, thorax, legs, and under parts, of a greenish bronze 

 colour, on the mandibles passing into reddish. The legs 

 are slim, and without teeth on the edges of the tibiae, at 

 least, in the males. 



Professor Thunberg first described this species in the 

 " Memoires des Naturalistes de Moscou," tome I. 1806, 

 p. 190, and gives a rough but recognizable figure (t. 12, 



f. i.r 



Dr. Burmeister seems to think the L. Dehaanii a distinct 

 species; but has some doubt of it. I can see no difference 

 between our two specimens in the Museum and Thuuberg's 

 description and figure. The figure is from the larger of two 

 specimens in the British Museum, and is of the size of 

 nature. 



On some other occasion I hope to be able to draw up a 

 list of such Borneo species as we have in the Museum, 

 adding references to those which have been described by 

 Schcenherr, Dehaan, Burmeister, Erichson, and others.
