Tmesisternus glaucus, Pascoe ? 



I am not sura of the identity of Mr. Forbes's specimen with the species 

 described by Mr. Pascoe. It has more yellow colour on the abdomen. 

 Hah. Maru. 



Pelaegoderus BUGOSUS, Waterhouse. P. Z. S. loc. sup. cit. 



Nearly black; head coarsely rugose, with sandy yellow pubescence 

 lound and beneath the eyes. Basal joint of the antennse very rugose, 

 not much narrowed at its base. Thorax rugose, rather dull, with 

 scarcely any trace of lateral spine, sparingly pubescent : the pubescence 

 forming a narrow sandy line on each side of the middle. Elytra with 

 the basal half rather strongly punctured, those at the base generally 

 marked by a shining granule ; the posterior half is more closely and 

 more rugosely punctured. 'J he basal half and the sides are rather 

 closely marked with irregular small spots of sandy pubescence, but at 

 about one quarter from the base there is near the suture an oblique bare 

 patch. A little behind the middle there is a lather large oblique bare 

 patch, which extends from the side to the suture ; and behind this there 

 is a patch of pale sandy pubescence, not quite touching the side, but 

 reaching the suture and the apex. The apex of each elytron is obliquely 

 truncate, the outer angle obtuse. 



Length 18 lines. 



Hah, Larat. 



This species is very close to P. arouensis, Th., but is more robust, much 

 more rugosely sculptured on the head and thorax ; and the basal joint of 

 the antennas is kss narrowed at the base and more rugose. 



Nemophas foebesi, Waterhouse. P. Z. S. loc. sup. cit. PI. XVI. 

 Fig. 5. 



Black, with the elytra bright steel-blue; the thorax entirely clothed 

 with sandy yellow pile ; the eljtra with numerous more or less inter- 

 rupted bands of reddish ochreous pubescence. 



Length 17-20 lines. 



This species is close to N. grayii, Pascoe, but has no trace of blue 

 colour in the head and antennae. The thorax is entirely covered with the 

 yellow pile, with no black at the base. The bands of the elytra are 

 more numerous, generally about seven, and these are more irregular. 

 And lastly, the sterna, epimera, and the basal segments of the abdomen 

 are more or less clothed with reddish pubescence. 



Hob. Maru and Larat. 



Batooeea kubus, Fabr., var. ? 



The specimen from Larat is a little larger than B. ruhus usually is, 

 and has the scutellum clothed with fulvous instead of white pubescence.
