17 



minusve nigris; tliorace transversiin sulcato, sulco medio sinuato ; 

 elytris tenuiter sat crebre punctatis. Long. 3-3| lin. 

 Var. A. Pedibus flavis. 



Rhaphidopalpa flavipes, Jac. Notes Ley den Mus. v. p. 202. 



Mas. Thoracis sulco transverso medio profunde exeavato ; abdominis 



segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio oblongo, profunde longitu- 



dinaliter exeavato. 

 Foem. Abdominis segmento anali bilobato, lobis concavis. 



Hab. Mantchuria; Japan; Northern India, China; Canton; 

 Cochin China ; Malay Archipelago. 



The male of the present species is very similar in form and in 

 the structure of the anal abdominal segment to the same sex 

 of A. foveicollis and of A. ahdominalis ; the four hinder legs are 

 usually stained more or less with nigro-piceous, although in some 

 specimens from Canton they are entirely flavous ; it may be 

 known, however, by the thorax being less deeply excavated. The 

 female is at once distinguished by the deeply bilobate anal segment 

 of the abdomen. 



This species is very widely spread, and is often confounded in 

 collections with A. cofece, Hornst.

 punctatis, utrisque puncto subbasali maculaque transversa pone 

 medium, nigris. Long. 2^ lin.
