ME. J. S. BALT OT SOME SPECIES OE GALERTTCHSTiE. 
25 
Antennse filiform ; labrum eoncolorous with the upper face. 
Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides nearly straight and 
parallel from the base to beyond the middle, thence obliquely 
converging towards the apex ; disk transversely excavated across 
the middle, the sulcation nearly obsolete near the lateral margin. 
Elytra narrowly oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, not 
excavated below the basilar space, minutely punctured. 
40. Aulacophora excisa. Ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, flava, 
nitida; pectore abdomineque (hoc apice excepto) nigris; femoribus pos- 
ticis quatuor piceo-nigris ; tliorace sat profunde transversim sulcato ; 
elytris minute punctatis. Long. 3^ lin. 
Var. A. Antennis extrorsum pedibusque posticis quatuor nigris, pedibus 
anticis piceo tinctis. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice bilobato, lobis planis, ad apicem 
incurvatis. 
Hal. Celebes; Elores ; var. A, New Giuinea (Wallace). 
Antennse slender, filiform, nearly two thirds the length of the 
body, the outer half slightly stained with piceous ; labrum 
piceous. Thorax transverse ; sides nearly straight and parallel 
from the base to beyond the middle, thence converging towards 
the apex, the posterior angle obtuse ; disk deeply impressed across 
the middle with a transverse groove. Elytra minutely, but not 
closely punctured. Apical lobes of abdomen plane, separated by 
a broad deep incision. 
The peculiar form of the apical segment of the abdomen in the 
female (the only sex known to me) will at once separate this 
species from its allies. 
41. Aulacophora Mouhoti. Auguste ovata, postice ampliata, 
convexa, flava, nitida ; pectore abdomineque nigris, scutello nigro- 
piceo ; thorace sat profunde transversim sulcato ; elytris minute sub- 
crebre punctatis. Long. 3 lin. 
Faun. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobis sequilongis, intermedio 
apice emarginato. 
Hal. Cochin China ; Malacca. 
Antennse slender, filiform, more than half the length of the 
body, stained with piceous. Thorax transverse ; sides nearly 
straight and parallel from the base to just beyond the middle; 
disk deeply transversely sulcate. Elytra minutely punctured. 
The above insect, of which I know only the female, agrees with 
A. luteicornis in the anal segment of its abdomen being trilobate,
