of the elytra, black, the lower five or six joints fulvous, the basai 

 joint very elongate, the second and third equal, terminal joints 

 thickened; thorax distinctly longer than broad, subcylindrical, 

 strongly constricted near the base, with a distinct transverse sulcus, 

 the anterior portion widened, the surface entirely impunctate, 

 fulvous; elytra distinctly transversely depressed below the base, 

 very finely punctured in strise, the interstices convex at the sides; 

 legs robust, piceous or fulvous. 



Hah. Bornéo. 



The two spécimens contained in my collection difïer in colo- 

 ration, one being entirely fulvous, the other having piceous elytra, 

 but the thorax in both is very elongate and subcylindrical, more so 

 than in any of the other species of the genus, this structure and 

 the impunctate surface of the thorax will help in the récognition of 

 the species; the elytra are sparingly clothed with fulvous hairs. 



Ophrida sumatrana n. sp. — Pale fulvous, the thorax finely 

 and closely punctured, elytra strongly geminate punctate-striale, the 

 striœ interrupted, darkfulvouSf each elytron with ahout i5 elongate 

 pale yellow spots. — Length, 8 mill. 



Head impunctate, the frontal élévations indistinct, eyes large, 

 oblique, antennse pale fulvous, extending nearly to the middle of 

 the elytra, the third joint nearly double the length of the second but 

 much shorter than the fourth, the terminal four joints slightly 

 widened ; thorax twice as broad as long, the latéral margins 

 straight at the base, rounded before the middle, the anterior angles 

 obliquely produced, anterior margin concave, posterior one with a 

 distinct médian lobe, the surface finely and somewhat closely 

 punctured at the dise, the sides nearly impunctate, a semicircular 

 row of deep punctures is placed at each side near the anterior 

 angles, the basai portion bas a sinuate short transverse groove in 

 front of the médian lobe, and another short perpendicular groove is 

 placed at each side of the basai margins ; elytra punctured in double 

 rows of irregular shape and partly interrupted, dark fulvous, each 

 elytron with fifteen or sixteen more or less elongate flavous spots of 

 which those at the basai margin are broader in shape, the interstices 

 at the sides are more or less strongly convex. 



Hah. Sumatra. 



AUied to 0. guttata Ghap. but with more elytral spots, the latter 

 elongate not rounded and differently distributed ; in the présent 

 species their are about six spots placed along the latéral margin of 

 which the two penultimate are slender and double, the others are 

 singly placed and of broader shape anteriorly than those towards 

 the posterior portion. A single spécimen is contained in my 

 collection.
