Soc. 1905, p. 107) has been sent by Mr. Hewitt from Kuching. 

 It is probably variable as regards the colouration of the legs 

 and thorax and as regards the amount of red they bear. The 

 prothorax in Mr. Hewitt's example is entirely red ; the middle 

 lobe of the mesonotum is largely suffused with rufous, the 

 fore legs, except the tarsi, are rufous testaceous, the coxae being 

 of a brighter tint than the rest ; the middle legs at the base 

 are brownish, the tibiae being lighter coloured than the femora 

 and the tarsi, except for the white basal band, are fuscous. 

 The palpi, it may be added, are long, the maxillary reaching 

 to the base of the metanotum ; the 4 anterior femora are 

 dilated at the apex, the fore pair more distinctly than the 

 middle.

 Neotrimerus nigrobalteatus, sp. nov. 



Eeddish testaceous, the sides of the basal two segments of 

 the abdomen and the 3rd and following segments of the 

 abdomen greyish green, the antennae, an oblique mark on the 

 sides of the 2nd abdominal segment at the area, a trans- 

 verse one on the side of the 3rd and transverse ones across 

 the 4th to 6th extending close to the sides, black; legs 

 coloured like the thorax, the hinder tarsi blackish ; the spines 

 on the hinder coxa3 pale yellow ; wings to the transverse me-

Kuching, November. 



Head, pleurae and metanotum densely covered with longish 

 white pubescence ; the mesonotum and scutellum smooth 

 shining, glabrous ; the legs, except the tarsi, are densely covered 

 with long white hair ; the pubescence on the tarsi is shorter and 

 stiff er ; the apices of the joints are spinose. Face rugosely 

 punctured, its centre raised, narrowed below ; the clypeus is 

 distinctly punctured. Except on the pleurae behind, the pro- 

 thorax is strongly, closely punctured, the pronotum more strong- 

 ly than the pleurae, which, below the suture, are irregularly 

 striated. The oblique suture, on the mesopleurae and that over
