ME. J. S. BALT ON SOME SPECIES OE GALEEUCIN^. 



Head longer than broad, trigonate ; mouth nigro-piceous or 

 piceous. Antennae slender, rather shorter than the body. 

 Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides slightly sinuate and 

 very slightly diverging from the base to beyond the middle ; disk 

 deeply impressed with a transverse sulcation. Elytra nitidous, 

 nearly impunctate. 



13. AuLACOPHORA APPROXIMATA. Anguste oblongo-ovata, postice 

 arapliata, convexa, fulvo-flava, nitida, tibiis (basi exceptis) tarsisque 

 nigro-fuscis ; thorace transversim sulcato, sulci medio leviter sinuato; 

 elytris obsolete sulcatis, Isevibus, minute punctatis, utrisque fascia 

 basali plagaque pone medium, nigris. Long. 3^-5 lin. 



Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio quadrato, 

 leviter concavo. 



Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice obtuso. 



B^ah. Celebes (Wallace). 



Antennae slender, filiform, nearly equal to the body in length, 

 their outer joints more or less stained with fuscous. Thorax 

 rather more than one half broader than long ; sides nearly 

 straight and parallel from the base to beyond the middle ; disk 

 smooth, deeply impressed transversely, the sulcation faintly 

 sinuate in the median line. Elytra oblong-ovate, dilated poste- 

 riorly, very finely punctured ; a common transverse band at the 

 base, and a subrotundate patch halfway between the middle and 

 apex of each elytron, black. 



The pale underside, together with the absence of any longitu- 

 dinal suleations on the elytra, will separate the female of this 

 species from that of A. nigrosignata (sp. 36) ; the male of the 

 latter insect is unknown to me.

 leviter transversim depressis, distincte punctatis. Long. lin.

 gitudinaliter sulcato.
