MB. J. S. BALT ON SOME SPECIES OE CALEB. TJCINJE. 
Head longer than broad, trigonate ; mouth nigro-piceous or 
piceous. Antennae slender, rather shorter than the body. 
Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides slightly sinuate and 
very slightly diverging from the base to beyond the middle ; disk 
deeply impressed with a transverse sulcation. Elytra nitidous, 
nearly impunctate. 
13. Aulacophora approximata. Anguste oblongo-ovata, postice 
ampliata, convexa, fulvo-flava, nitida, tibiis (basi exceptis) tarsisque 
nigro-fuscis ; tliorace transversim sulcato, sulci medio leviter sinuato; 
elytris obsolete sulcatis, lsevibus, minute punctatis, utrisque fascia 
basali plagaque pone medium, nigris. Long. 3|-5 lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio quadrato, 
leviter concavo. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice obtuso. 
Sab. Celebes {Wallace). 
Antennse slender, filiform, nearly equal to the body in length, 
their outer joints more or less stained with fuscous. Thorax 
rather more than one half broader than long ; sides nearly 
straight and parallel from the base to beyond the middle ; disk 
smooth, deeply impressed transversely, the sulcation faintly 
sinuate in the median line. Elytra oblong-ovate, dilated poste- 
riorly, very finely punctured ; a common transverse band at the 
base, and a subrotundate patch halfway between the middle and 
apex of each elytron, black. 
The pale underside, together with the absence of any longitu- 
dinal suleations on the elytra, will separate the female of this 
species from that of A. nigrosignata (sp. 36) ; the male of the 
latter insect is unknown to me.
