MR. J. S. BALT ON SOME SPECIES OP GALERCCINiE. 
neque nigris ; thorace transversim sulcato ; elytris tenuiter punctatis. 
Long. 3|-4 lin. 
Var. A. Elytris nigro-piceis, anguste flavo-limbatis. 
A. robusta, Duviv. Notes Leyd. Mus. vi. p. 124. 
Mas. Antennarum articulo basali incrassato, intus compresso, carinato ; 
fascie utrinque infra antennas tuberculo compresso, subconico, medio- 
que lamina brevi, pube nigro circumdata, instructa; telo apicehastato ; 
abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio profunde longi- 
tudinaliter sulcato. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali late concavo-emarginato, emargina- 
tionis medio dente brevi instructo. 
Sab. Assam ; Siam ( Mouhot ) ; Celebes ; Ceram ; Timor ; Sulu 
Islands ; Elores ( Wallace ) ; var. A, Wagaiou {Wallace) ; New 
Guinea ( v . Rosenberg). 
Antennae filiform. Thorax twice as broad as long ; sides 
rounded, nearly straight at the base ; upper surface deeply 
grooved just behind the middle, the sulcation nearly straight. 
Elytra oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, not depressed 
below the basilar space, finely punctured. 
Yar, A at first sight is very dissimilar to the type, and has 
been described by M. Duvivier as a separate species ; it agrees, 
however, so closely in structural characters that I cannot but 
place it under the same specific head.

Oblonga, postice paullo ampliata, convexa, flava, nitida, pectore abdomi- 
neque (ano excepto) nigris ; thorace transversim sulcato, sulco medio 
angulato, magis fortiter excavato ; elytris tenuissime punctatis. 
Long. 3-3| lin. 
Mas. Antennarum articulo basali incrassato; thoracis sulco medio ampliato 
et profunde excavato et margine postico utrinque tuberculo conico in- 
structo ; abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio oblongo, 
profunde longitudinaliter concavo. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice breviter sinuato ; disco utrinque 
concavo-excavato, pygidio apice emarginato. 
Sab. Southern Europe ; Northern Africa ; India. 
The peculiar sculpture of the thorax, combined with the form 
of the anal segment of the abdomen in either sex, will distinguish 
this species at once from its congeners.
