| Niger, nitidus, convexus, antennarum apice ferrugineo, tarsis rufis; prothorace inaequali, dense fortiterque punctato; elytris profunde sulcatis, interstitiis convexis, parum latis. — Long. 6 millim. Head with the upper surface somewhat uneven, rather closely and finely, but irregularly, punctate, scarcely shining. Antennae reaching backwards slightly beyond the base of the thorax; piceous-black, at the base with five joints free from sensitive pubescence and therefore somewhat shining; the joints from this to the extremity are somewhat, broader, the penultimate joint being scarcely so long as broad, they are densely pubescent, and the terminal joint — as also the apex of that preceding it — is ferruginous. The thorax is strongly transverse, and very... |

| Having recently described several species of Apogonia from the collection of the Leyden Museum ¹), I need make no apology for adding another to the number. This species was discovered by the lamented Marius Leonard Ritsema, of the Dutch Indian medical service, who died in July last on the passage from Atjeh to Batavia, and I have with melancholy pleasure named it in honour of this esteemed physician and zealous naturalist. |

| In Vol. XVI of » Notes from the Leyden Museum” Dr. Senna described some new Brenthidæ, among them Ubanius æneus (n. g. and n. sp.) from Central America. The species was characterised from three examples, one male of unknown habitat in the collection of the Brussels Museum, one female from Mexico in the Rothschild Museum, and a second female, said to be from Chiriqui, in Dr. Senna’s collection. At this time my descriptions of the Central American Brenthidæ were completed, but on receiving Dr. Senna’s paper I was able by the kindness of the Honorable Walter Rothschild to compare the female of Ubanius æneus in his collection with the rich series of Central American Brenthidæ of Messrs. Godman and Salvin that had formed the material for the work since... |

| In describing this insect [Col. Hefte XV. p. 78) I pointed out that it should probably form a distinct genus, and I said that »the prosternal process approaches that of Lepidiota.” This latter statement requires some explanation, for on examination it appears that this insect has no prosternal process while in Lepidiota there is a well developed process. In Lachnosterna there is said to be no prosternal process, and therefore it would appear that the L. gracilipes might be placed in that genus. In Lachnosterna however, the hind portion of the presternum stretches out, or grows out, more or less slightly backwards towards the mesosternum, and when there is a prosternal process, (which is the case in several Eastern species of the genus) it takes the form of... |
