Hab. New Guinea (0. Beccari). Dorei, Andai (L. M. D’AI- 
bertis). 
This species was also obtained at New Guinea by M. Wal- 
lace. 
2. Oides quinquelineata, n. sp. 
Broadly ovate, testaceous, joints of the antennae short, stained 
with black; elytra closely granulose-punctate, with a narrow 
sutural, a broader lateral and discoidal longitudinal stripe, pur- 
plish black. 
Length 4-5 lines. 
Head impunctate with a deep triangular depression between 
the eyes; antennae scarcely extending to the first third of the 
length of the elytra, the joints very short and all stained with 
piceous at their apices, the fourth slightly longer than the third; 
thorax widened towards the base, the posterior margin obliquely 
rounded at each side, the anterior angles blunt and slightly 
projecting, surface obsoletely transversely grooved near the an- 
terior margin, the sides with a more or less deep fovea; the 
disc with a few extremely fine punctures; elytra widened 
towards the middle, closely and distinctly punctured, the inter- 
stices finely granulate or wrinkled but varying in that respect, 
each elytron with a broad band at the sides, another near the 
suture and the sutural margin dark purplish; the lateral band 
is the broadest, always narrowed below the shoulder and does 
not quite extend to the apex, the central band is still shorter 
and much narrower and the sutural one is about the same size 
and extends to the apex; the testaceous spaces dividing these 
bands are very narrow; below and the legs testaceous. 
Hab. New Guinea, Island of Yule (L. M. D'Albertis). Port 
Moresby (coll. Jacoby). Australia, Somerset (L. M. D’Albertis). 
I am unable to say wether this is the O. 6-lineata of Montr. 
as the description is too short to recognize the pea and the 
elytra are described as smooth.
