medio ampliatis, carina dorsali ooiivexa, lateral! flexnosa, angiilo laterali recto 

 apice rotuudato. Elytra grosse puuctato-striata, iuaeijualia, utraqne ia dorso tribus 

 tnbercnlis sat altis iustructa. 



Long. (cap. excl.) -l-i^i mm. 



1 S from Hoozan. 



The head bears a iiiiuute white dot anteriorly between the eyes and another 

 on the occi])ut, and is coarsely pnuctate-rugate like the rostrnra. The spot at the 

 base of the pronotnm is widest at the carina, and there is a small round spot in 

 front of it. The pronotura is uneven like the elytra and especially distinguished 

 by its great breadth ; the dorsal carina is very feebly angulate in the centre. The 

 tibiae and tarsi are for the greater part reddish brown. 



Most nearly resembles A. tenuis Jord. (1903J from Sumatra, but in that species 

 the prothorax is longer than broad. 



15. Phaulimia grammica spec. nov. 



c?. P/(. rufescenti similis, robustior, elytris Inteo lineatis, fasciis ante- et post- 

 medianis incompletis luteis atqne macula rotunda snturali antemediana brnnnea 

 ornatis. 



Long. (cap. excl.) 4 — 4'5 mm. 



4 (J(? and 2 ? ? from Hoozan and Kosempo. 



Probably a subspecies oi Ph. rufescens Jord. (1894) ; the cj with two tubercles 

 on the last abdominal sternite, as in rufescens. The pronotnm similar to that of 

 Ph. lineata Jord. (1895), but the angle of the carina more rounded, the markings 

 differing from those of rufescens especially in the presence of a spot before the 

 centre, which spot forms a more or less complete halfring with the dorsal spots 

 placed in front of the carina. The basal callosity of the elytra is brown, with 

 one or two luteous lines, behind the callosity there is a luteous patch as m 

 rifesrens, and on the suture a round brown spot in between the two patches ; 

 the postmedian luteous spots are either separate or form a zigzag band ; all the 

 interspaces bear luteous stripes, the striping, however, not being so regular as 

 in Ph. lineata. 



10. Directarius incisus Sharp (1891). 



1 ? from Taihoriusho. 



Originally described from Jajian as a Trojiiiteres. 



17. Nerthomma aplota s])ei', nov. 



J ¥. Nigra, supra griseo et brunneo variegata, subtus grisea. Antennae in S 

 compressae sat fortes, iu ? graciles, clava in ntroijue sexu brevi, segmento 3'" 

 quarto longiore, 4"-8° inter se aei|ualibus. Frons capitis dimidio rostri latitudinis 

 subaequalis. Carina prothoracicalis ad latera leviter antrorsnm flcxa. Elytra 

 densius griseo signata quara in ^V. stictica Paso. (1860). 



Long. (cap. excl.) 4 — mm. 



A series of both sexes from Fuhosho and Kosempo. 



In facies very similar to the Malayan N. stictica Pasc. (I860), but the frons 

 is broader, almost e(inalling half the rostrum in width even in the 6, and the 

 carina of the prothorax is less produced forward at the sides. The markings 

 essentially the same as in N. .stictica, the grey puliescence rather more extended 

 and the markings less clearly defined.
