VIII.—A Contribution to the Study of the Insect 
Fauna of Borneo. A List of the Bornean 
Buprestidae. (Part II.) By Ch. Kekremans. 
Descriptions of New Buprestidae from 
Sarawak (Borneo). 
The following description of new species from 
Sarawak completes the list of Bornean Buprestidae 
published by Mr. J. C. Moulton in this Journal (Febru¬ 
ary 1911) and brings the total number of species now 
known from Borneo up to 226. Considering that the 
majority of the species here described have been 
discovered in the last two years only, it seems quite 
probable that there are many new species still to be 
discovered in this large tropical island, so rich in insect 
life; thus the present list must in no way be con¬ 
sidered as final, but only complete as far as our 
knowledge of them goes at present. 
The Types of all* the following species have been 
presented to my collection by the Curator of the 
Sarawak Museum, who realizes that such rarities 
should be preserved in a European collection where 
they will be safe from all the dangers of a tropical 
climate and more accessible for those who wish to 
study this interesting Family of Coleoptera. I take 
this opportunity of recording my thanks to the Curator of 
the Sarawak Museum for having given me the opportunity 
of extending my knowledge of this rich and varied fauna. 
All the names of localities given after each species 
are those of places in Sarawak, i.e., the north-western 
portion of the island of Borneo, now ruled over by 
H is Highness Rajah Brooke.
