1913. 
THREE NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS CERIOIDES FROM 
THE ORIENTAL REGION. 
By Dr. K. Kertész. 
(With 3 figures.) 
I have received from Mr. H. Sauter some specimens of Cerioides 
from Formosa, that belong to two species and found another in the 
Collection of the Hungarian National Museum from New Caledonia; all 
of them seem to be new to science. 
I have made the following hey for the determination of all the 
species of this genus known up to the present from the oriental and 
australian region, but as many of the species are known to me from 
descriptions only, I cannot be sure that they are correctly placed. 
Cerioides relictura Walk, and apicata Brun. I could not place. 
1 ( 4). Shining metallic species. 
2(3). Humeral calli metallic blue. _ „„ „„ _ smaragdina Walk. 
3 ( 2). Humeral calli yellow. „„ „„ „„ „„ „„ „„ metallina v. d. Wulp. 
4 ( 1). Not shining metallic, but black or black and yellow coloured species. 
5 ( 6). A single yellow spot in the middle of the front margin of the dorsum 
of the thorax. „„ „„ , r ,/ _ „„ „„ „„ breviscapa Saund. 
6 ( 5). The front margin of the thorax in the middle without a yellow spot. 
7 (14). Pleurae entirely black. 
8(9). Scutellum entirely black, wings yellow. „„ „„ ftavipennis Meij.

Fruhstorferi Meij. 
14 ( 7). Pleurae at least with one yellow spot.
