ME. J. S. BALY OH SOME SPECIES OF GALE RE CIHJE . 
9 
versim sulcato, lsevi, ad latera minute punctato ; elytris late oblongo- 
ovatis, postice ampliatis, convexis, infra basin transversim excavatis, 
minute punetatis, limbo externo reflexo. Long. 4-5^ lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio quadrato, 
longitudinaliter sulcato. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice obtuso ; pygidii apice leviter 
emarginato. 
Hab. Ceram; Macassar; Celebes; Grilolo; Batchian (Wallace). 
Antennse filiform, nearly equal to the body in length in both 
sexes ; labrum concolorous with the upper face. Thorax nearly 
twice as broad as long ; sides obtusely rounded, the hinder angle 
obsolete, the anterior one very minute ; lateral margin more 
broadly reflexed than in most species of the genus ; disk smooth, 
very minutely punctured on the sides, transverse sulcation nearly 
straight. Elytra broadly oblong-ovate, dilated posteriorly, con- 
vex, transversely excavated below the basilar space, minutely 
punctured ; outer limb rather broadly dilated and reflexed for 
nearly its whole extent. 
This species is closely allied to A. rosea , Eabr. : both insects 
closely agree in the form of the thorax and in all other struc- 
tural characters ; but the present one is distinctly broader in form 
and its elytra are (the extreme basal margin excepted) unicolorous. 
8. Aulacophoea eosea, Fair. Si/st. FI. i. p. 479. 
Ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, rufo-fulva aut rufa, nitida, tibiis tar- 
sisque nigris, antennis flavis, articulo primo saepe rufo ; thorace sat 
profunde transversim sulcato ; lateribus obtuse rotundatis, reflexis ; 
elytris infra basin transversim depressis, nigris, apice plus minusve 
rufis. Long. 3^-6 lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmenti analis lobo intermedio late oblongo, longitu- 
dinaliter sulcato. 
Farm. Abdominis segmento anali integro. 
Hab. Sumatra; Java; Philippine Islands ; Malacca. 
This species so closely resembles A. lata in the form of its 
thorax and in other structural characters, that I do not give a 
detailed description ; it is separated by its less broadly ovate 
form and by the rufous apex of its elytra. The rufous colora- 
tion of the apex of the elytra extends upwards to a greater or 
smaller extent over the disk. A. albicornis, Chapuis, is apparently 
identical with the present insect ; at any rate, I cannot separate 
it on the slight diagnosis given by the author.
