tlie sulcation less deeply impressed in its middle. Elytra sub- 

 nitidous, minutely punctured; on eacli elytron are several faint 

 longitudinal sulcations. 



37. AuLACOPHORA Lewisii. Auguste ovata, postice arapliata, con- 

 vexa, rufo-fulva, nitida ; abdomine nigro-piceo ; thorace vix pone 

 medium transversim sulcato ; elytris nigris, infra basin non excavatis, 

 minute punctatis. Long. 3 lin. 



JFcern. Abdominis segment© anali integro. 

 Sah. China, Hongkong (Lewis). 



Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides nearly straight 

 and parallel from the base to beyond the middle, thence converging 

 towards the apex ; disk smooth, impressed just behind the middle 

 •with a nearly straight transverse sulcation. Elytra not depressed 

 transversely below the basilar space, minutely punctured. 



At first sight very close to A. nigripennis, but at once to be 

 known by the different coloration of the under surface of the 

 body, by the pale legs, and by the absence of the subbasilar de- 

 pression on the elytra. Although from so widely different a 

 locality, it is just possible that this insect may be the female of 

 A. nigrivestis, Boisd. 



38. AuLACOPHORA SEMiLiMBATA. Anguste oblongo-ovata, eonvexa, 

 flava, nitida; antennis (basi exceptis),tibiis apice tarsisque nigro-piceis ; 

 abdomine piceo tincto ; thorace profunde transversim sulcato ; elytris 

 convexis, infra basin excavatis, nigris, nitidis, limbo suturali, nec non 

 margine externo, his ante medium obsoletis, flavis. Long. 3f hn. 



Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali obtuso, obsolete sinuato. 

 Hal. New Gruinea, Dorey ( Wallace). 



Antennae slender, filiform, the basal joint flavous. Thorax 

 nearly twice as broad as long ; sides distinctly angulate ; disk 

 transversely impressed with a deep sulcation, which is rather 

 more strongly excavated on either side the median line. Elytra 

 oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly ; convex, distinctly excavated 

 on the suture below the basilar space, shining, impunctate. 



39. AuLACOPHORA DuviviERi. Anguste ovata, postice paullo am- 

 pliata, convexa, flava, nitida; pectore, abdomine pedibusque poste- 

 rioribus nigris, anticis piceis ; thorace quam longo fere duplo latiore, 

 transversim sulcato, sulco prope marginum fere obsoleto ; elytris 

 minute punctatis. Long. 4 Hn. 



Var. A. Tibiis tarsisque intertnediis piceis. 



Fam. Abdominis segmento anaU apice late emarginato, leviter bisinuato. 

 Hah. Java; Malacca.
