Notes on and redescription of Lagria pupillicollis Borchmann. 1936 BORCHMANN (1936:43) described this species from "Holländisch-Neu-Guinea" on the basis of an unrecorded number of specimens and without reference to the type depository. It is very likely that the types'were included in BORCHMANN's collection and were destroyed during World War II. It is clear from the description that he knew both sexes and some characteristic features leave little doubt what species he had. The description was based on specimens with bluish elytra. The elytral pattern, however, is actually much more varying, and the unicoloured dark blue elytra represent merely an (although frequent) extreme of the spectrum of variability. An intermediate and characteristic pattern is the elytra having a Figs 1-2. 1= Lagria ligulata sp. n.,|o\ -j 2= L. pupillicollis Borchmann, <? pale spot at the middla (Fig. 2). The spots,! on the one hand, may extend to the overwhelming part of the elytra and only the base and apex remain bluish. On the other hand, the spots may be darker and obsolete, and this trend leads to the unicoloured dark elytra. Two of the new species described subsequently (Lagria amethystina and L. sapphirina) appear to be closely allied to Lagria pupillicollis 'Borchmann, but the latter is easily distinguished at the first glance by the dark green or blue pronotum as well as dark legs and antennae.
