974 MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY Of NITIDULARLE. 
Were the various forms peculiar to different islands, I might have separated them; but 
it is not so, the different varieties are found in the same island as well as in the other 
islands: one is entirely black; another is entirely testaceous; another is testaceous, 
with a black edging to the apex of the elytra, in some instances narrow, in others broad ; 
and another is testaceous, with the usual vitta paler or whitish. 
From the East Indies, Borneo, and the Malayan Archipelago. Collected by Mr. Wal- 
lace at Macassar, also in the island of Waigiou, near New Guinea, and in the islands of 
Dorey, Aru, Morty, &c. 
Count de Motschulsky, in mentioning the species which he included in his: proposed 
subgenus Zenomorphus (of which C. sexpustulatus was to be the type), says,—* A. third 
species from the Indian continent is the Henomorphus biguttatus, Motsch., which singu- 
larly resembles Æ. serpustulatus not only in its form and in its coloration, but is distin- 
guished from it by its thorax being larger and more square, not at all rounded on the 
sides, nor narrowed behind, by the base of the abdomen being of a testaceous brown, and 
by the elytra having only a testaceous spot in the middle." The characters here given 
are wholly inconsistent with any affinity with C. sexpustulatus; and as I find that 
M. de Motschulsky made a similar error with regard to his C. fulvipes, of which he has 
had the kindness to send me specimens, I have come to the conclusion that his E. bigut- 
latus may possibly be one of the varieties of this species, which is the only East Indian 
species I know of which comes near it in colour. 
57. CARPOPHILUS OCULATUS. 
Affinis C. maculato; major, magis nitidus, saturate castaneus vel ferrugineo-niger ; 
capite postice, ore, antennis thoracisque angulis anticis ferrugineis; elytris ferru- 
gineis, apice, sutura et macula rotundata in medio nigris; abdomine nigro-piceo, 
lateribus ferrugineis; pectore nigro-piceo; pedibus ferrugineis. Long. 14 lin., 
lat. $ lin. 
Habitat in insula Borabora. 
Nearly allied to C. maculatus; larger, more shining, less pubescent; dark chestnut- 
_ coloured or ferruginous black. Head very finely punctate, with the mouth and the back 
of the head ferruginous; antenn ferruginous. Thorax subquadrangular, longer than in 
C. maculatus, more shining, very finely punctate, most thickly so on the sides, which are 
subparallel, very slightly rounded, and very much declinate; anterior angles obtuse and 
rounded, posterior angles rounded, base slightly sinuate; disk dark chestnut, anterior 
angles with an adjoining portion of the apex and sides ferruginous. Scutellum triangular, 
dark chestnut, finely punctate. Elytra longer and more parallel than in C. maculatus, a 
little wider behind the middle, not rounded-in at the shoulder as in that species, rather 
faintly granulosely punctate; dark ferruginous, with the apex and the suture black or 
nigro-piceous (the apex black for about a fourth of the length of the elytra, the suture 
narrowly black); the remaining ferruginous disk on each elytron has a large black spot 
in the middle, which spreads to the side so as almost to reach it; sides deeply margined, 
apex of each elytron obliquely truncate, sutural angles obtuse, exterior apical angles
