Mas, elytris in medio conjunctim alte et acute elevatis, prothoracis angulis posticis acutis, Laud longe 
productis ; tibiis anticis infra medium dente acuto valde distante armatis ; haud compresso- 
sinuatis. 
Antennas longer than in E. mcirgincitus, all the joints from the third, and the club, being longer. 
The thorax is not so broad, especially at the base, the hind angles in the male not being nearly so much 
produced, but still they are acute ; its disk is more uneven, there being in the single male before me an 
impressed pit on each side of the centre ; the elytra have the expanded margin more gradually widened, 
so that it is narrower at the shoulders than in E. marginatus. The four spots are larger in proportion, 
and placed nearer together than in that species, and they are more acuminate at the apex, and the middle 
of their disk is much more acutely raised, the summit of this raised part being conical and nearer the two 
anterior spots than the corresponding part in E. marginatus. The front tibiae in the male are nearly 
straight, not strongly sinuous nor distorted as in E. marginatus, but a little compressed laterally with a 
short external groove at their apices (for the reception of the tarsi), but not grooved along their whole length. 
This insect has also some analogy with E. turritus ; but the larger yellow spots and the dark blue 
colour of the elytra, as well as the structure of the tibiae, will at once distinguish it. 
One specimen, a male, obtained by Mr. Whitehead. 
Eumorphus costatus.

Mas, tibiis anticis dente acuto valde distante in medio armatis ; tibiis intermediis et posticis medio- 
criter curvatis, his intus ciliatis. 
I believe a single male and female from Kina Balu to be identical with the species described by 
myself from two female specimens from Celebes. The male has the elytra shining, and with an indistinct 
violet tint, while the female is subopaque and is distinguished by a short keel on the elytra at their base 
near the scutellum. The yellow spots are large, and cause the species to recall E. quadrinotatus. The male 
has the hind angles of the thorax acutely produced, by which it is at once separated from E. quadrinotatus. 
Eumorphus guerini. 
Eumorphus guerini, Gorham, Endom. Rec. p. 33. 
Many specimens of this were obtained by Mr. Whitehead ; all I have yet seen are males. Hitherto 
only seen from the Malay peninsula. 
Eumorphus lucidus, n. sp. Kina Balu. 
Nigro-subviolaceus, nitidus ; elytris ovatis, apice acuminatis, maculis duobus rotundatis aurantiacis 
nitidis, anteriore parum tumida ; thorace (feminae) subopaco. Long. 9 millim. ? . 
It is difficult to compare this species with any other of the genus ; the elytra are very slightly 
margined, but are acuminate at their apex, and not very strongly convex. It is entirely black, with the 
exception that the elytra have a faintly violet tinge and are very smooth and shining, the four, spots are 
moderate in size, and round, very smooth, but not raised ; the thorax (of the female) is opaque, with two 
rather obsolete basal impressions and a central channel, its sides are a little angular in the middle, con¬ 
tracted to the front angles. The antennae are of moderate length, the fourth to the eighth joints a little 
longer than wide, the three club-joints subequal, transverse, not much compressed. 
Four specimens were found by Mr. Whitehead. This species may he placed after E. guerini, Gorh. 
LYCIDA3. 
Metriorrhynchus, sp. inc. Kina Balu. 
A single example (!j? ) of a Metriorrliynchus allied to M. geometricus, but larger, and precisely similar 
in colour to Xylobanus reticulatus, Gorli., of which there is an example from the same region. It is also 
very close to M. infuscatus, Gorh., Notes from Leyd. Mus. iv. 1882, p. 96. 
Metriorrhynchus, sp. inc. Kina Balu. 
A single specimen of a species allied to M. sericeus, but with much brighter red elytra, apical half 
black.
