146 [December, 
The following species from Borneo, of which I have only seen a 
single specimen in the collection of the 15ritish Museum, appears to be 
undescribed : I propose to name it E. Lacordairei. 
ExoPHOLis Lacoedaieei, spec. nov. 
U. ovata, parum convexa, punctata, nitida, nigra ; elytris singulis 
7-costatis, iridescentihus, apice fuscescentibus. Long. 15 lin. 
Head in front rounded, thickly punctured, with the very slightly 
reflexed margin and a discoidal spot smooth. Thorax as in jE/. 
Tiypoleuca, but less arched, more thickly and rugosely punctured, 
with a mesial longitudinal smooth line, which is slightly raised. Scu- 
tellum punctured. Elytra 3| times as long as the thorax, gradually 
enlarged towards the apex, where they are somewhat suddenly deflexed ; 
each elytron with seven smooth iridescent costse ; the first nearly 
entire, terminating very little short of the apex, broader than the 
others ; the second short, abbreviated before and behind, broad towards 
the scutellum, diminishing towards the apex of the elytra ; the third 
and fifth narrow, springing from the base, and uniting (with the fourth) 
at the sub-apical callosity ; the fourth and sixth costse incomplete and 
irregular ; the seventh complete, lateral ; interstices strongly and 
rugosely punctured ; the apex rugulose, fuscescent, sparingly powdered 
with fine white scales. Anterior tibiae very slender. 
Habitat, Borneo. In Mus. Brit. 
British Museum, Sept. 4«7i-, 1867.

(Continued from page 126.) 
In a small consignment* of Ci/nipidce sent to me by Mr. Parfitt, of 
Exeter, I find a specimen of Neuroterus fumipennis, ^, not yet de- 
scribed. It exactly resembles the other sex, except in having longer 
* Among the insects referred to is a genuine Cynips reared by Mr. Parfitt from "woody galls near 
the base of oaks." Although no existing description exactly fits this specimen, it may possibly be the 
C. ilieis of Fabr., Piez., 145, No. 10. " Atra, nitida, thorace pedibusque pallide flavis." 
Cynips ? 
Head, prothorax, and scutellum rufo-testaceous, coriaceous, hardly pubescent ; declivity of the meta- 
thorax, and the abdomen, black. Legs testaceous; cosce, and aline on the middle and hinder femora 
and tibiae blackish ; tarsi broken oflf. Antennae 14-jointed, testaceous, the last 4-5 joints black. Eyes 
fuscous. Head large, as broad as the prothorax, sub-rugose. Prothorax transversrly lugose, the parap- 
sidiim sutura: very distinct. Scutellum coarsely rugose-punctate, red, bordered all round with black; 
In the black hinder margin are two smooth foveoloe. Abdomen two-thirds as broad as the thorax, 
raised and compressed at the apex, which forms a sharp carina above : shining black, reddish laterally 
at the base. OTipositor testaceous. Wings hyaline, the nervures pale testiiceous, except the apical 
half of the sub-costal, the basal tran^erse vein, the base of the radial cell and the outer side of the 
areolet, which are black and incrassated. Long. 1 ; alar. exp. 3 lin.
