MR. J. S. BALT ON SOME SPECIES OF GALEETTCIM. 



23 



Upper portion of front in the male impressed just within the 

 eye with a large round fovea ; antennaB in the same sex entirely 

 flavouSjthe second joint very short, moniliform, the third thickened, 

 subtrigonate, its antero-external angle armed with a long acute 

 tooth, the fourth joint strongly thickened, compressed externally, 

 equal in length to the third, the fifth shorter than either of the 

 preceding, compressed and dilated externally at the base ; an- 

 tennae in the female simple, filiform. Thorax transverse, trans- 

 versely sulcate, more deeply excavated on either side the median 

 line ; its surface smooth, impunctate ; sides nearly straight and 

 parallel, slightly converging anteriorly. Elytra narrowly oblong, 

 parallel, very finely punctured. 



This species is separated from A. smaragdipennis, Duv. (viridi- 

 pennis, Chap.), by the dilated joints o£ the antennae in the male 

 sex. 



Females of which the males are unknoion to me. 



35. AuLACOPHORA UNicoLOR, Jac. Notes Leyd. IIus. v. p. 201. 

 Ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, flava, nitida ; thorace sat profunde 



transversira sulcato ; elytris infra basin transversini depressis, tenuiter 



punctatis. Long. 5 Un. 

 Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali integro. 



FLah. Saleyer. 



This insect, of which Mr. Jacoby has kindly sent me a specimen, 

 exactly resembles A. JBoisduvall in size, form, and scul^Dture, only 

 diff'ering in the uniform flavous coloration of the whole body ; 

 whether it is a dii^tiuct species or only a local form of A. Boisdu- 

 vali it is impossible, in the absence of the male (which is at 

 present unknown), to determine. 



36. AuLACOPHORA NiGROsiGNATA. Angustc ovata, postice ampliata, 

 flava, nitida; pectore abdomiiieque nigris ; thorace transversim sulcato, 

 sulco medio subinterrupto ; elytris subnitidis, tenuiter punctatis, 

 utrisque plaga basali transversa, utrinque abbreviata, fasciaque pone 

 medium, interdum ad suturam abbreviata, nigris. Long. 4-4 1 hn. 



Foam. Abdominis segmento anali apice integro, obtuso. 



Sab. Elores (Wallace). 



Antennae nearly three fourths the lengtli of the body, filiform. 

 Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides nearly straight and 

 slightly diverging from the base to beyond the middle, thence 

 converging towards the apex; upper surface finely but distinctly 

 punctured on either side in front; disk deeply sulcate transversely,
