shoulders of the elytra angulate. The small, upturned protuber- 

 ance at the humeral angle of the elytra in C. eximium is wholly 

 a process of the border, and is not attached to the elytra to close 

 the lateral channel, as is usually the case in Careniityi. In 

 facies, C. eximium resembles C. tinctiHatiom Newm., but, from 

 that and other allied species, it differs by labrum emarginate, 

 clypeus not with two small tubercles behind labrum; prothorax 

 more gently narrowed to base, Imsal curve not so short; elytra 

 impunctate; from C. sjyJendidum Macl., it differs in many ways, 

 e.g., labrum emarginate; elytra more convex, pluripunctate on 

 base, etc. 



Nkocarenum dingo, n.sp. 



Elongate, cylindrical. Antennae short, moniliform; prothorax 

 subparallel, base wide, arcuate, an antebasal sinuosity on each 

 side, two marginal setigerous punctures on each side; elytra 

 emarginate at base, humeral angles prominent, each elytron 

 4-punctate on apical third*; anterior tibite 2-dentate. Piceous- 

 black. 



Head moderate(4'5mm. acro.ss eyes), convex, lightly impressed 

 across occiput; frontal sulci divergent backwards, curved ante- 

 riorly; preocular sulcus well marked, acute; preocular process 

 subprominent, clypeus declivous, truncate behind labrum, in- 

 termediate angles prominent, a fovea on each side on inner side 

 of base of intermediate angles; eyes not prominent; orbits small, 

 two supraorbital punctures (close together) on each side. Pro- 

 thorax hardly longer than broad (5*2 x 5*1 mm.), not declivous 

 behind; sides lightly rounded at basal angles ; apex truncate ; 

 basal curve lightly sinuate on each side; border very narrow, 

 median line fine. Elytra convex, hardly wider than prothorax 

 (12x5-2 mm.), slightly narrowed to base; disc not depressed; 

 base emarginate, strongly declivous, two punctures on each side; 

 border narrow; marginal channel distinct, seriate-punctate. 



* My unique .specimen has, besides the four punctures towards the apex 

 of the elytra, one on the disc of the right elytron towards the base; pro- 

 bably it will be found that there is normally a puncture near the base on 

 each elytron.
