the sulcation less deeply impressed in its middle. Elytra sub- 
nitidous, minutely punctured ; on each elytron are several faint 
longitudinal sulcations. 
37. Aulacophora Lewisii. Anguste ovata, postice ampliata, con- 
vexa, rufo-fulva, nitida ; abdomine nigro-piceo ; thorace vix pone 
medium transversim sulcato ; elytris nigris, infra basin non excavatis, 
minute punctatis. Long. 3 lin. 
Foem. Abdominis segmento anali integro. 
Sab. China, Hongkong {Lewis). 
Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides nearly straight 
and parallel from the base to beyond the middle, thence converging 
towards the apex ; disk smooth, impressed just behind the middle 
with a nearly straight transverse sulcation. Elytra not depressed 
transversely below the basilar space, minutely punctured. 
At first sight very close to A. nigripennis , but at once to he 
known by the different coloration of the under surface of the 
body, by the pale legs, and by the absence of the subbasilar de- 
pression on the elytra. Although from so widely different a 
locality, it is just possible that this insect may be the female of 
A. nigrivestis, Boisd. 
38. Aulacophora semilimbata. Anguste oblongo-ovata, convexa, 
flava, nitida; antennis (basi exceptis),tibiis apice tarsisqne nigro-piceis ; 
abdomine piceo tincto ; thorace profunde transversim sulcato ; elytris 
convexis, infra basin excavatis, nigris, nitidis, limbo suturali, nec non 
margine externo, his ante medium obsoletis, flavis. Long. 3f lin. 
Foem. Abdominis segmento anali obtuso, obsolete sinuato. 
Sab. New Guinea, Dorey (Wallace). 
Antennae slender, filiform, the basal joint flavous. Thorax 
nearly twice as broad as long ; sides distinctly angulate ; disk 
transversely impressed with a deep sulcation, which is rather 
more strongly excavated on either side the median line. Elytra 
oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly ; convex, distinctly excavated 
on the suture below the basilar space, shining, impunctate. 
39. Aulacophora Duvivieri. Anguste ovata, postice paullo am- 
pliata, convexa, flava, nitida ; pectore, abdomine pedibusque poste- 
rioribus nigris, auticis piceis ; thorace quam longo fere duplo latiore, 
transversim sulcato, sulco prope marginum fere obsoleto ; elytris 
minute punctatis. Long. 4 lin. 
Yar. A. Tibiis tarsisque intermediis piceis. 
Foem. Abdominis segmento anali apice late emarginato, leviter bisiuuato. 
Sab. Java; Malacca.
