Var. A. Elytris pallide flavis, utrisque limbo fasciaque prope medium 



nigro-piceis, pedibus fulvis. 

 Var. B. Elytris fere totis flavis. 



Hah. Malay Arcbipelago, BatcWan, Aru and Sulu Islands 

 {Wallace). 



Vertex impunctate, impressed with a large round fovea; antennae 

 three fourths the length of the body, second joint short, the third 

 slightly longer, four or five lov^er joints flavous or fulvous, the 

 rest nigro-piceous. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides 

 rounded, the anterior and posterior angles produced, subacute ; 

 disk transversely convex, smooth, impunctate. Elytra oblong- 

 ovate, very slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, not depressed 

 below the basilar space, remotely impressed with fine punctures, 

 their interspaces very minutely punctured. Abdominal segments 

 in some specimens narrowly edged with flavous. 



The outer margins of the flavous spots on the elytra are ill- 

 defined, being more or less stained with piceous.

Grenus Paratjlaca. 



Corpus oblongura, convexum, postice paullo arapliatura. Caput exser- 

 tum ; antennis filiformibus. Thorax transversiis, dorso transversim 

 sulcatus. Elytra convexa, confuse vel subseriato-punctata ; epi- 

 pleuris fere ad apicem extensis. Pedes simplices ; tibiis apice spina 

 brevi armatis ; unguiculis appendiculatis. Prosternum inter coxas 

 elevatuDQ, basi nou lobatum ; acetabulis anticis apertis. 

 Type JParaulaca {Aulacopliora) angidicollis, Motsch. 

 The above genus differs solely from Fseudocophora in having 

 appendiculate instead of bifid claws ; occupying the same[rela- 

 tive position to that genus that Diacantlia does to AulacopJiora. 

 In both genera the prosternum is not lobed at its base, and the 

 apices of the epimera are free, not closing the acetabula. 



Genus Fseudocophora, Jacohy^ Notes Leyd. Mus. vi. p. 69. 



The males of the present genus (so far as they are yet known) 

 have a deep sutural fovea placed immediately below the basilar 

 space on the elytra ; this fovea, the edges of which are thickened, 

 is armed with two or four raised tubercles or teeth ; the number 

 and shape of these teeth, taken in conjunction with the form and
