250 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



always thought a position of rest was necessary before any 

 Cicadas could make a noise. It returned later to the same tree, 

 but I again missed it with the net, although it allowed me to 

 approach near enough to approximately identify it. 



Four Fulgoridas were noted— Thessitus nigronotatus, Stal, 

 ' ^ Pochazia fuscata, Fah:.^ Bicania convergens, Wlk., stna- JR. limi- 

 taris, Wlk. Also five Cercopidae— ^iwacarto tricolor basinotata, 

 Bntl. pTricoscarta delineata, ^Nlk. ^hymatostetha stellata, Guer., 

 <^P. dislocata, Wlk., a,n^ Opistharsotheus simulans, Schmidt. Speci- 

 mens of the two common Zsi^^idiQ,'^ Bhandara semiclara, Sign., 

 an^Tettigoniellafarinosa, Fab., were brought in by the collectors. 

 The Pentatomids, Chrysochoris auratus, Guer., Dalpada ocidata, 

 Fab., Plautia fimhriata, Fab. ; the Eeduviid, Centrocnemis signo- 

 reti, Stal ; the Coreid, Serinetlia ahdominalis, Fab. ; and a Lygseid, 

 Narho biplagiatus, Wlk., were taken. 



CoLEOPTERA. — Perhaps the most striking species taken were 

 a large brilliant green Buprestid, Chrysodema jnjrosticta, Vollen., 

 and a fine chocolate-brown Curculionid, which I found walking 

 on a large rock on the summit of the hill ; this proved to be a 

 rare species recently described by Dr. K. M. Heller as Polrio- 

 phoriis stellatiis. 



Among the Longicorns were— (Lamiidae), Leprodera fimhriata, 

 Chev. ; a large brown-spotted beetle, lUmantoceraplumosa, Oliv. ; 

 Entclopes glauca, Guer., surely a mimic of some Coccinellid- 

 Cassid combination ; Praonetha quadraticollis, Pasc. ; and a pair 

 of a gorgeous blue species, Glenea celia, Pasc, which I took in 

 cop. on a fallen tree. Mr. Gahan kindly identified it for me, 

 and I understand it has not been recorded from Borneo before. 

 (Cerambycidae), the common red Euryphagus lundii, Fab., Xylo- 

 treclius pedestris, Pascoe, and X. scenicus, Pasc. 



The brilliant little Cassidae were represented by Aspido- 

 morpha sarawacensis, Spaeth, and Laccoptera 13-punctata, Fab. 

 Two species of Carabidas were taken — Orthogonius vittatus, Main, 

 and Dischissus cereus, McL., the latter a rare species in Sarawak. 

 The pretty little Cicindelid, Odontachila {Heptadonta) analis, Fab., 

 was common on the sandy path at the foot of the mountain, 

 flying in the sun, together with the ubiquitous Cicindela auridenta, 

 Fab., which is certainly the commonest beetle in Sarawak. 



One Endomychid, Eumorphus consohrinus, Gerst., and one 

 Lampyrid, Luciola pallescens, Gorh., were taken. 



Sugaring trees was tried, but, as on previous occasions out 

 here, proved a total failure, possibly owing to moonlight nights, 

 but more likely due to the swarms of ants which were always in 

 a great hurry for first place. Among them was that large 

 species, Camponotus gigas, Latr., of which the big headed soldiers, 

 measuring an inch in length from head to end of abdomen, used 

 to appear at night, though we never saw them in the daytime.
