 twice and a half broader than long, the sides subangulately widened before the middle, posterior 

 angles produced outwards, the surface with a few minute punctures at the basal portion, deeply 

 transversely sulcate at each side, scutellum pointed, triangular, elytra with a short, rather shallow

 everywhere closely and finely punctured, legs black, the under part of the femora often flavous. 



Habitat. Bukit Besar, Nawngchik. 2,500 feet, and Tor. 



Allied to H.fraternus (Duviv.) from Java, but with flavous not black under side, the antennae 

 shorter and more robust, the scutellum flavous, and the elytral punctuation quite different ; ten 

 specimens were obtained.

 Head, antennae, and thorax flavous, elytra metallic dark green, closely punctured and finely 

 rugose, the breast, abdomen, and the tibiae and tarsi black, femora flavous. 

 Length, 8 mm. 



Head impunctate, flavous, clypeus broad, trigonate, impunctate, antennae extending to the 

 end of the elytra, flavous, the terminal two joints more or less fuscous, third joint one-half 

 shorter than the fourth, second joint short, thorax one-half broader than long, subquadrate, the 

 sidet straight, the surface transversely sulcate, impunctate, flavous, scutellum flavous, elytra very 

 closely punctured and finely rugose, upper portion of the breast and the femora (their apex 

 excepted) flavous, rest of the under side black. 



Habitat. Bukit Besar, Nawngchick, and Ban Sai Kau. 2,500 feet. 



Closely allied to M. rugosa, Jac, from Java, but with flavous antennae and black breast, also 

 of rather shorter and broader shape. 



Monoiepta rubricollis, sp. nov. 



Flavous, lower joints of the antennae black, head and thorax rufous, the latter transversely 

 impressed, elytra minutely punctured. 

 Length, 4 mm. 



Head impunctate, rufous, deeply transversely grooved between the eyes, the latter very 

 large, clypeus wedge-shaped, labrum flavous, antennae very slender, nearly extending to the apex 

 of the elytra, black, the ninth and tenth joint more or less flavous, the third joint twice as long 

 as the second one, thorax one-half broader than long, the sides straight, the posterior margin 

 rounded, the surface with a rather deep transverse depression at each side, impunctate, rufous, 

 very shining, scutellum flavous, elytra nearly parallel and sub-cylindrical, very finely and closely 

 punctured, flavous, their epipleurae indistinct below the middle, below and the legs flavous, the 

 latter very slender, the metatarsus of the posterior legs very elongate. 



Habitat. Telom, South Perak. 4,000 feet. Two specimens. 



This Monoiepta is of rather slender shape, and may be known by the red colour of the head 

 and thorax
