tures being only visible on the disc under a lens ; in some speci- 

 mens a row of punctures similar to that in C. impressa runs down 

 the middle of the disc. Scutellum forming an elongated triangle, 

 the apex of which is rounded ; surface glabrous. Elytra much 

 broader than the thorax, nearly four times its length, oblong, sides 

 nearly parallel, apex broadly rounded ; above convex, transversely 

 but obsoletely depressed below the basilar space, longitudinally 

 impressed within the humeral callus ; each elytron with eleven 

 rows of punctures, the first short ; punctures placed at more 

 regular intervals on the strise than in the last species (C Clarkii), 

 deeply impressed in front, very small and finely impressed 

 on the hinder half, but nevertheless distinct to the apex ; inter- 

 spaces smooth, impunctate. The black colour on the elytra varies 

 in extent, in some specimens occupying less than half, in others 

 covering two-thirds of the surface. Abdomen somewhat spar- 

 ingly clothed with adpressed fulvous hairs, which form, however, 

 a distinct row just within the edge of each segment. Hinder 

 thighs not extending beyond the first two segments of the ab- 

 domen. 



5. Crioceris terminata. 



Oblongo-elongata, subcylindrica, rufo-fulva, nitida ; oculis ely- 

 trisque nigris, his tenuiter punctato-striatis, apice rufo- 

 fulvo.

Hab. Ternate, Batchian. Collected by Mr. Wallace. 



Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, face elongate-trian- 

 gular, forehead sm.ooth, impressed beliind with a short longitudi- 

 nal fossa ; antennae moderately robust, nearly filiform, slightly 

 thickened from beyond the fourth joint, about half the length of 

 the body ; eyes notched. Thorax subquadrate, subcylindrica), 

 sides deeply constricted at their middle, upper surface smooth, 

 remotely impressed with fine punctures. Scutellum forming an 

 elongate triangle, its apex rounded. Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax, more than three times its length, sides parallel, 

 apex regularly rounded ; above convex, indistinctly impressed at 

 the base within the humeral callus, transversely depressed below 

 the basilar space, surface smooth and shining, each elytron with 

 eleven rows of fine punctures, visible to their apex, the first short, 

 interspaces smooth and flat, impunctate. Legs moderately robust, 

 hinder thighs scarcely thicker than the others, equal in length to the 

 first two segments of the abdomen. Abdomen sparingly covered
