MB. J. S. BALY ON SOME SPECIES OF GALEEUCm^. 



antennis, pedibus totis, pygidio elytrisque nigris ; thorace Isevi, sat 

 profunde transversim sulcato ; elytris infra basin transversim de- 

 pressis, tenuissime puuctatis. Long. .3|-5 lin. 

 Var. A. Femoribus pygidioque rufo-fulvis. 



Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobate, lobo intermedio transverso- 

 quadrato, angulis anticis rectangulis, apice truncato, disco longi- 

 tudinaliter sulcato. 



Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali late sed leviter angulato-emarginato. 



Hah. New Guinea, Dorey ; Amboina (Wallace). 



Antennje slender, filiform, nearly equal to the body in lengtli 

 in either sex, black, the two to four lower joints usually rufo- 

 piceous ; labrum and moutli nigro-piceous. Thorax transverse ; 

 sides nearly straiglit and parallel from the base to beyond th.e 

 middle, thence rounded and converging towards the apex, 

 anterior augle obtuse ; disk smooth, impunctate, discoidal 

 groove nearly straight, more deeply impressed on either side 

 the median line. Elytra dilated posteriorly, convex, transversely 

 excavated below the basilar space, very minutely punctured. 



The dark antennse, equally loug in both sexes, will separate 

 this species from others with similarly coloured elytra. It is 

 with some doubt that I have placed var. A under the same 

 specific head ; it agrees, however, entirely in structural cha- 

 racters. 



3. AuLACOPHORA ALBOFASCiATA. Anguste ovata, postice paullo 

 ampliata, convexa, fulvo-nitida, antennis^ ore, tibiis tarsisque nigro- 

 piceis aut fuscis ; thorace transverso, disco transversim sulcato ; elytris 

 convexis, infra basin prope suturam leviter transversim excavatis, 

 nigris, utrisque fascia obliqua prope medium communi, ad marginem 

 abbreviata, albida. Long. 4-5 lin. 



Var. A, S • Elytrorum fascia albida fere obsoleta. 



Mas. Abdominis segmenti analis lobo intermedio oblongo, profunde 

 concavo. 



Fcem. Abdominis segmento ultimo late obtuso. 

 Hah. New Guinea, Dorey (Wallace). 



Head scarcely longer than broad, trigonate. Antennse 

 slender, equal to the body in length in both sexes ; the four or 

 five lower joints sometimes obscure fulvous ; eyes in the male 

 large, prominent. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long; sides 

 slightly diverging or nearly parallel from the base to beyond the 

 middle, thence obliquely converging to the anterior angle ; disk 

 transversely sulcate, the sulcation rather more deeply impressed
