minusve nigris ; tliorace transversim sulcato, sulco medio sinuato ; 
elytris tenuiter sat crebre punctatis. Long. 3-3§ lin. 
Yar. A. Pedibus flavis. 
Rliaphidopalpa flavipes, Jac. Notes Leyden Mus. v. p. 202. 
Mas. Thoracis snlco transverso medio profunde excavato ; abdominis 
segmento anali trilobate, lobo intermedio oblongo, profunde longitu- 
dinaliter excavato. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali bilobato, lobis concavis. 
Hab. Mantchuria ; Japan; Northern India, Cliina; Canton; 
Cochin China ; Malay Archipelago. 
The inale of the present species is very similar in form and in 
the structure of the anal abdominal segment to the same sex 
of A. foveicollis and of A. abdominalis ; the four hinder legs are 
usually stained more or less with nigro-piceous, although in some 
specimens from Canton they are entirely flavous ; it may be 
known, however, by the thorax being less deeply excavated. The 
female is at once distinguished by the deeply bilobate anal segment 
of the abdomen. 
This species is very widely spread, and is often confounded in 
collections with A. coffees, Hornst. 
24. Aulacophora tetraspilota. Elongato-ovata, postice ampliata, 
pallide flava, nitida; pectore abdomineque nigris; thorace lateribus 
rotundatis, basi fere rectis, disco transversim sulcato; elytris tenuiter 
punctatis, utrisque puncto subbasali maculaque transversa pone 
medium, nigris. Long. 2% lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio oblongo, 
profunde concavo. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice obtuse truncato. 
Hab. Batchian ; Amboina ; Gilolo (Wallace). 
Antennae filiform, equal to the body in length in the male. 
Thorax about one half broader than long; sides rounded, nearly 
straight from the base to beyond the middle ; disk rather deeply 
transversely sulcate. Elytra finely but distinctly punctured; 
each elytron with a small round spot immediately below the 
middle of the basal margin, together with a second, transverse, 
placed obliquely a short distance below the middle, black. 
25. Aulacophora octomaculata. Late ovata, postice ampliata, con- 
vexa, pallide flava, nitida; pectore abdominisque segmentorum maculis 
(his triseriatim dispositis) nigris; thorace lateribus a basi fere ad apicem 
subrectis, angulis acutis, disco utrinque transversim excavato; elytris 
tenuiter sed distincte punctatis ; utrisque maculis quatuor (2, 2 trans-
