anterior angles thickened, nearly rectangular, the hinder ones 

 produced, very acute ; disk smooth, impunctate. Elytra 

 much broader than the thorax, subquadrate-ovate,. dilated 

 behind the middle, their apices conjointly broadly rounded ; 

 above very convex, each elytron faintly excavated below the 

 basilar space, strongly and closely punctured ; interspaces 

 (more especially on the outer disk) rugulose; on each elytron, 

 a short distance within the outer margin, is a slightly raised, 

 but distinct longitudinal costa. 



Antiplia pretiosa. 



A. late oblongo-ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, nigra aut nigro- 

 picea, nitida, facie inforiore, antennis basi, thorace pedibusque 

 sordide flavis, tarsis (posticis quatuor basi exceptis) nigro-fuscis ; 

 elyfcris viridi-caeroleia aut viridi-violaceis, convexis, infra basin 

 transversim excavatis, intra marginem exteriorem loviter longi- 

 iudinaliter unicostatis ; crebrc fortitcr punctatis, punctis prope 

 suturam substriatim dispositis. 



Long. 2| lin. 



Hab. Borneo, Sarawak. 



Head smooth, impunctate; front, just above the encarpae, 

 longitudinally strigose, impressed in the middle with a deep 

 fovea ; encarpse transverse, curved, separated by the apex of 

 the clypeus ; antennas very slender, nearly equal to the body 

 in length, the third joint more than three times the length of 

 the second, the five to seven lower joints fulvous, the rest 

 nigro-fuscous or entirely black. Thorax at the base three times 

 as broad as long • sides straight, converging from base to 

 apex, the hinder angles produced, subacute, the anterior ones 

 slightly produced, obliquely truncate ; disk smooth, impunc- 

 tate, more or less stained with piceous. Scutellum shining 

 black. Elytra much broader than the thorax, oblong-ovate, 

 moderately dilated posteriorly, convex, transversely excavated 

 below the basilar space, strongly punctured ; each elytron 

 near the outer margin with a distinct but only slightly raised 

 longitudinal costa. 



Less convex than A. pulchella, the thorax rather shorter 

 and broader, its anterior angles more obliquely truncate, the 

 elytra more deeply excavated below the basilar space. 



Antipha discoidalis. 



A. late oblongo-ovata, postice paullo ampliata, convexa, nigro- 

 picea, nitida, capite pallide piceo, vertice saspe infuscato, thorace 

 pedibusque flavis; antennis extrorsum, tibiis apice tarsisque 

 fuscis; thorace lsevi, fulvo, lateribus fere rectis; elytris oblongis, 

 postice paullo ampliatis, convexis, infra basin transversim exca-
