Show 88 REV. H. S. GORHAM O N [Feb. 2, 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, contracted 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 be placed after E. guerini, Gorh. LYCID,E. METRIORRHYNCHUS, sp. inc. Hab. Borneo, Kina Balu (Whitehead). A single example ( $ ) of a Metriorrhynchus allied to M.geometricus, but larger, and precisely similar in colour to Xylobanus reticulatus, Gorh., 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 (Whitehead). A single specimen of a species allied to M. sericeus, but with much brighter red elytra, apical half black. METRIORRHYNCHUS, sp. inc. Kina Balu (Whitehead). Unfortunately also a single specimen only of a species with the double rows of cells distinct and wide, black with red elytra, of which the apical quarter is black, and black marks at their base. Allied to M. cinnabarinus, Gorh. XYLOBANUS RETICULATUS. (Plate IV. fig. 6.) Xylobanus reticulatus, Gorh., Notes from Leyd. Mus. 1882, p. 96. Hab. Borneo, Kina Balu (Whitehead). A single specimen, apparently of this species. TELEPHORUS VIRIDANUS. Telephorus viridanus, Gorh., Notes from Leyd. Mus vol iv 1882 p. 105. " Hab. Borneo, Kina Balu (Whitehead). A single specimen.
