452 DR. F. LEUTHNER ON THE ODONTOLABINI. 
L. gazella (sinensis), being the female of O. bicolor, Oliv., which occurs in Siam (Assam (2), 
Nepal ?), Malacca, and Borneo. Westwood speaks of this type as follows:—“ This speci- 
men is a female, and differs only from the insect represented in the accompanying plate, 
fig. 4, and M. Guérin’s figure of his Lucanus delessertii (Voy. de Delessert, Ins. pl. xii. 
fig. 3), in having the black colour precisely occupying half of each elytron, being thus 
intermediate between these two specimens (sc. 0. gazella sinensis and O. cuvera). 1 
observed also that the spine terminating the posterior tibize is more bent upon the base 
of the tarsi even than in my fig. 4. I have seen no male which will agree with this 
intermediate female in the colouring of the elytra &c.” (Comp. p. 465.) 
No doubt can exist respecting the authenticity of the Fabrician type, as it entirely 
agrees with the description of Fabricius and with the figure of Olivier, and I have 
therefore retained Westwood’s name for the present species.

Male. Similar to that of O. sinensis. Deep black, or dark chestnut-brown, but elytra 
yellow, with a V-shaped black or chestnut-brown mark beginning at the shoulders and 
extending evenly to the tip; rim of the elytra yellow beneath; head and thorax as in 
O. sinensis, but more finely punctured on the upper side, and shining; front tibie in 
large specimens with five and in smaller ones with from three to five teeth above the 
terminal fork. 
Mandibles. 
1. Forma telodonta.—As in O. sinensis.—Var. cuvera, 8. str., Hope (fig. 7). 
2. Forma mesodonta.—Only differs from 0. sinensis in the colour of the elytra.— 
Var. prinseppti, Hope (fig. 8). 
3. Forma priodonta.—As in O. sinensis (fig. 9).—Var. saundersi, Hope. 
Female. Resembles that of O. sinensis in shape. Head more finely punctured ; pro- 
thorax more convex above, much more finely punctured, and shining ; sides bispinose, 
the spines not’so pointed as in O. sinensis; outline different from that of O. sinensis ; 
elytra narrower, sulphur-yellow, with a black V-shaped mark as in the male, the rim 
of the elytra black beneath; front tibie with only three or four spines above the 
terminal fork.
