less fui vous, the anterior four legs generally piceous, the posterior 

 femora fulvous with a spot above and below near the apex. 



Hah, N. S. Wales. 



I cannot identify this species with any other of the rather nume- 

 rous forms described by Waterhouse, Baly and the Rev. Blackburn. 

 The markings of the elytra are quite différent but probably approach 

 those of A, podontioides Blackb. The colour of the antennae also 

 differs from any of its allies and the elytral punctuation is likewise 

 peculiar. 



Manobîa biplagiata n. sp. — Below piceous or flavous, head 

 and thorax impunctate^ obscure piceous, elytra pointed posteriorly , 

 strongly punctate-striate, flavous, each with an obscure piceous spot 

 at the middle of the dise, antennœ and legs flavous. — Length, 2 mill. 



Var. Entirely flavous. 



Of rather elongate, posteriorly pointed shape, the head convex 

 at the vertex, entirely impunctate, more or less piceous, frontal 

 élévations narrowly transversely oblique, clypeus concave, with a 

 distinct central ridge, antennse extending slightly below the nniddle 

 of the elytra, entirely flavous, the third and fourth joint equal, 

 terminal joints slightly thickened ; thorax subquadrate, about one 

 half broader than long, the latéral margins nearly straight, slightly 

 diverging from the base to the apex, anterior angles obliquely 

 thickened, the surface impunctate, with a distinct sinuate sulcus 

 near the base, piceous; elytra widened towards the middle and 

 acutely pointed at the apex, scarcely depressed below the base, 

 strongly punctate-striate, the outer two interstices convex, the 

 others flat, the middle of the dise with a more or less extended 

 piceous spot, not strongly defmed. 



Ilab. Java, Mount Gede, 8,000 ft. (Fruhstorfer). 



Of this species I bave received four spécimens from Mr. Fruh- 

 storfer of which two belong to the entirely flavous coloured form, 

 the darker ones I hâve taken for the type; the species differs from 

 any of its congeners in the pointed shape of the elytra and the 

 almost entire absence of an elytral dépression, the latter being 

 usually strongly marked; the elytral spots are of ovate shape and 

 well marked in one spécimen, in the other they are spread over the 

 greater part of the dise and less well defined. 



Liprus longicoUis n. sp. — Dark fulvous or piceous, the thorax 

 impunctate, distinclly longer than broad, elytra with distinct basai 

 dépression, flnely punctate-striate and sparingly pubescent, piceous 

 or fulvous. — Length, 3 mill. 



Head impunctate, the frontal élévations obsolète, anterior edge 

 of the clypeus strongly concave, antennae extending to the middle
