In this species, which on account of the short second and 
third joints of the antennae, the closed coxal cavities and pro- 
longed elytral epipleurae, enters the genus, established by 
myself (Notes Leyden Mus. VI) the intermediate joints of the 
antennae are not dilated as is the case in the two allied species, 
also from Sumatra. It is however possible that I have only the 
female sex before me in which the antennae are simple. The 
four elytral patches separates the species from N. beplagiata Jac.

85. Neolepta unifasciata, n. sp. 
Fulvous; antennae, the 2 basal joints excepted, black; thorax 
subquadrate with 2 impressions, impunctate; elytra finely punc- 
tured, black, a narrow transverse band before the middle, 
yellowish white. 
Length 2 3/,-3 lines. 
Head impunctate, the frontal tubercles united in front, divided 
at their base by a groove and bounded behind by another 
transverse deep groove; the carina acutely raised; eyes large; 
antennae nearly two thirds the length of the body, covered 
with rather long pubescence, the intermediate joints slightly 
widened, the third joint at least twice the length of the second; 
thorax not more than one half broader than long, the sides 
and the anterior margin straight, the posterior one slightly 
rounded, surface with a shallow transverse depression at each 
side, impunctate; scutellum fulvous; elytra widened posteriorly, 
closely punctured, the punctuation slightly arranged in longitu- 
dinal rows and the interstices very obsoletely longitudinally 
costate, black, a very narrow transverse and slightly oblique 
band of a pale yellowish colour is placed immediately before 
the middle, this band is generally narrowed towards the suture; 
underside and legs fulvous; the metatarsus of the posterior 
tibiae nearly half the length of the latter; elytral epipleurae 
continued to the apical angle; anterior coxal cavities closed. 
Hab. New Guinea, Fly River (L. M. D’Albertis). 
The third joint of the antennae in N. unifasciata is longer
