neque nigris ; thorace transversim sulcato ; elytris tenuiter punctatis. 



Long. 3^-4 lin. 

 Var. A. Elytris nigro-piceis, anguste flavo-limbatis. 

 A. robusta, Duviv. Notes Leyd. Mus. vi. p. 124. 



Mas. Antennarum articulo basali incrassato, intus compresso, carinato ; 

 fascie utrinque infra antennas tuberculo compresso, subconico, raedio- 

 que lamina brevi, pube nigro circuradata, instructa; telo apiee hastato ; 

 abdominis segmento anali trilobate, lobo intermedio profunde longi- 

 tudinaliter sulcato. 

 Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali late concavo-emarginato, emargina-

 Hob. Assam ; ^iam {Mouliot) ; Celebes ; Ceram ; Timor ; Sulu 

 Islands ; Flores {Wallace) ; var. Wagaiou {Wallace); New 

 Gruinea {v. Bosenherg). 



AntennsB filiform. Thorax twice as broad as long; sides 

 rounded, nearly straight at the base ; upper surface deeply 

 grooved just behind the middle, the sulcation nearly straight. 

 Elytra oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, not depressed 

 below the basilar space, finely punctured. 



Yar. A at first sight is very dissimilar to the type, and has 

 been described by M. Duvivier as a separate species ; it agrees, 

 however, so closely in structural characters that I cannot but 

 place it under the same specific head. 



22. Atjlacophora eoyeicollis, Kilster, Kaf. ^z//-. xxviii. p. 100. 

 Oblonga, postice paullo ampliata, convexa, flava, nitida, pectore abdomi- 



neque (ano excepto) nigris ; thorace transversim sulcato, sulco medio 

 angulato, magis fortiter excavato ; elytris tenuissime punctatis. 

 Long. 3-3^ lin. 



Mas. Antennarum articulo basali incrassato; thoracis sulcomedio ampliato 

 et profunde excavato et margine postico utrinque tuberculo conico in- 

 structo ; abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio oblongo, 

 profunde longitudinaliter concavo. 



Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice breviter sinuato ; disco utrinque 

 concavo-excavato, pygidio apice emarginato. 



Sab. Southern Europe ; Northern Africa ; India. 



The peculiar sculpture of the thorax, combined with the form 

 of the anal segment of the abdomen in either sex, will distinguish 

 this species at once from its congeners.
