ME. J. S. EALT SOME SPECIES OE aALEEIJCINiE. 



25 



Antennae filiform ; labrum concolorous with the upper fiice. 

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

 parallel from the base to beyond the middle, thence obliquely 

 converging towards the apex ; disk transversely excavated across 

 the middle, the sulcation nearly obsolete near the lateral margin. 

 Elytra narrowly oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, not 

 excavated below the basilar space, minutely punctured. 



40. AuLACOPHORA EXCiSA. Ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, flava, 

 nitida; pectore abdomineque (hoc apice excepto) nigris; femoribus pos- 

 ticis quatuor pieeo-nigris ; thorace sat profunde transversim sulcato ; 

 elytris minute punctatis. Long. 3^ lin. 



Var. A. Antennis extrorsum pedibusque posticis quatuor nigris, pedibus 



anticis piceo tinctis. 

 Foem. Abdominis segmento anali apice bilobato, lobis planis, ad apieem 



ineurvatis. 



Hah. Celebes; Mores; var. A, New Gruinea (Wallace). 



Antennae slender, filiform, nearly two thirds the length of the 

 body, the outer half slightly stained with piceous ; labrum 

 piceous. Thorax transverse ; sides nearly straight and parallel 

 from the base to beyond the middle, thence converging towards 

 the apex, the posterior angle obtuse ; disk deeply impressed across 

 the middle with a transverse groove. Elytra minutely, but not 

 closely punctured. Apical lobes of abdomen j)lane, separated by 

 a broad deep incision. 



The peculiar form of the apical segment of the abdomen in the 

 female (the only sex known to me) will at once separate this 

 species from its allies. 



41. AuLACOPHORA MouHOTi. Anguste ovata, postice ampliata, 

 convexa, flava, nitida ; pectore abdomineque nigris, scutello nigro- 

 piceo ; thorace sat profunde transversim sulcato ; elytris minute sub- 

 crebre punctatis. Long. 3 lin. 



Foiin. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobis scquilongis, intermedio 



apice emarginato. 

 Sab. Cochin China ; Malacca. 



Antennae slender, filiform, more than half the length of the 

 body, stained with piceous. Thorax transverse ; sides nearly 

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

 disk deeply transversely sulcate. Elytra minutely punctured. 



The above insect, of which I know only the female, agrees with 

 A. luteicornis in the anal segment of its abdomen being trilobate,
