1884.] FROM THE TIMOR-LAUT ISLANDS. 215 



BUPRESTID.E. 



Cyphogastra angulicollis, Deyr. 



This species was described from Banda. The specimen before 

 me from Larat agrees well with examples from Banda, but the 

 copper colour on the suture of the elytra does not extend quite to 

 the scutellum. 



Cyphogastra splendens, n. sp. (Plate XVI. fig. 2.) 



Very close to G. angulicollis, and of the same form, but with a 

 different distribution of colour. The thorax is bright coppery, with 

 more or less golden green on the disk. The elytra have the dorsal 

 region very dark steel-blue (appearing almost black), this blue 

 colour, making an elongate triangular patch (common to both elytra), 

 broadest at the base and narrowing posteriorly, terminates at about 

 one third from the apex ; next there is on each elytron a broad 

 oblique coppery-red stripe (margined on its inner side by golden 

 green), commencing on the shoulder, extending to near the apex 

 (where it touches the suture), but then turned suddenly to the 

 lateral margin of the elytron ; the side of the elytron (from below 

 the shoulder to where it meets the turn of the coppery stripe) is 

 dark blue ; the extreme apex is blue-black.

Elaterid^e. 



Adelocera cincta, Candeze. 



The specimen before me agrees well with the description given 

 (C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1878, p. lii) of this species from Sumatra. 

 The allied species has a wide range.

Bostrichid^e. 

 Bostrichxjs jEqualis, ii. sp. (Plate XVI. fig. 3.) 

 Elongate, parallel, convex, shining ; black, with the elytra and 

 legs obscure pitchy, antennae paler. Head densely and finely 

 granular ; the epistoma less opaque, closely and finely punctured. 

 Thorax with the basal half parallel, very convex ; the front half 

 obliquely narrowed anteriorly, sloping down, with six teeth on each 

 margin, the anterior pair slightly porrect, the space between them 

 emarginate. The surface posteriorly is marked with moderately 

 large, deep punctures, which are irregularly placed, the intervals 

 irregularly and extremely finely and rather sparingly punctured ; 

 all the front part is asperate. The posterior angles very slightly 

 conically produced and diverging. Elytra of the same width 

 as the thorax, scarcely broader posteriorly, very abruptly deflexed 

 at the apex ; deeply and strongly punctured, the punctures rather 

 close together, placed irregularly near the suture, but having 

 towards the sides a tendency to form lines ; the interspaces smooth 

 and shining, less than the diameter of the punctures (except here
