Anthracias riificollis. 



A. oblongus, parallelus, obscure ater ; prothorace transversim qua- 

 drato, saturate rufo. Long. 4| lin. 



Hah. Matabello, Saylee. 

 6 . Unknown. 



¥ . Oblong, nearly parallel at the sides throughout, 

 opaque, black ; prothorax deep red ; head with two ridges 

 above the eyes ; club of the antennae dilated ; prothorax 

 transversely subquadrate, velvety, apparently impunctate ; 

 seutellum subcordate; elytra velvety, with scarcely visible 

 punctures ; body beneath and legs dark chestnut ; tarsi ferru- 

 ginous, all but the claw-joint very short. 



1 see nothing to distinguish this species generieally from 

 the European form. A specimen from Saylee has a darkish 

 longitudinal stripe on the prothorax, Matabello is a small 

 island south-west of New Guinea, where the species was found 

 by Mr. Wallace. 



Oentronopus speciosus. 



C. oblongus, supra nitidissime rufo-cupreus, infra pedibusque chaly- 

 beatus ; anteimis tarsisque piceis. Long. lin. 



Hah. Chontales. 



Oblong, glabrous, very slightly convex; above a brilliant 

 reddish copper ; beneath, femora, and tibiae steel-blue ; an- 

 tennae and tarsi pitchy ; head slightly punctate anteriorly ; 

 edges of the clypeus, which is scarcely distinct from the head, 

 purplish ; prothorax extremely finely punctate ; seutellum 

 transverse, steel-blue ; elytra seriate-punctate, punctures 

 minute oblong j fore tibite in the male with a small median 

 tooth. 



- This species bears a marked resemblance to the Alpine 

 Feronia metalUca.

I am unable to see the u very small " seutellum which 

 Lacordaire attributes to Osdara f to which this genus is allied,
