1889.] ON NEW COLEOPTEROUS INSECTS FROM KINIBALU. 383 
6. On new Genera and Species of Coleopterous Insects 
from Mount Kinibalu, North Borneo. By H. W. Batzs, 
F.R.S., F.Z.8. 
[Received June 18, 1889.] 
The following descriptions contain the results of the examination of 
a portion only of the collection of Coleoptera made by Mr. J. White- 
head during his recent visit to Kinibalu, undertaken, as is well 
known, chiefly for the purpose of investigating the ornithology of 
the district. The Coleoptera comprise an unusual proportion of new 
and remarkable forms. The whole series has passed into the rich 
collection of Mr. Alexander Fry. 
Fam. CicinDELID&. 
THERATES WHITEHEADI. 
Th. spectabili (Schaum) similis et affinis, sed differt, inter alia, 
oculorum pedunculis fere verticalibus fronteque angustiore. 
L majoribus, nigro-viridis, elytris viridioribus : thorace angusto, 
lateribus medio minime rotundatis : elytris apice longe spinosis, 
spinis divaricatis et oblique elevatis, margine exteriore versus 
spinam continuo nec emarginato, angulo suturali distincto etsi 
rotundato, deinde margine usque ad spine basin minus obliquo : 
dorso sicut in Th. spectabili multituberoso, vittula humerali 
calloque obliquo discoidali albo-testaceis : pedibus nigris, coxis 
Semoribusque basi et subtus albo-testaceis: abdominis margine 
et apice rufo-testaceis. Labrum margine antice g 8-, 2 6-den- 
ticulatum. Long. 16 millim. 
This beautiful species differs from Th. spectabilis (Schaum) and 
princeps (Bates) in the more vertically elevated peduncles of the 
eyes, which position perceptibly narrows and deepens the forehead 
between them. It also differs in the outline of the apical margin 
of the elytra, the suture forming a distinct though rounded angle, 
whence to the base of the spine the apical margin is not continuous 
with the spine, as it is very nearly in the two other species. The 
inequalities of the surface are the same in all—the common basal 
elevation being quadrate and plane above, tuberculated on its mar- 
gins, and the disk having a rounded tubercle before and an oblique 
elongated callus behind the middle. 
Mr. Whitehead obtained also examples of the following species of 
Cicindelidze:—Cicindela crespignyi (Bates, since redescribed as C. 
borneeana, Dokhtouroff) in a distinct colour variety,the broad orange- 
coloured belt and stripe of the type-form (from near Labuan) being 
replaced by white; the rare Heptadonta tricondyloides (Gestro) ; 
Therates punctipennis (Bates), many examples, all alike in the uni- 
form pale colour of the elytra, but still little more than a colour 
variety of 7. schaumi (Chaud.) ; and Tricondyla beccarii (Gestro).
