Long. 2^ mm., elytv. ]|, lat. If. 



Of a buff colour, with the elytra (except the luteous apical fifth), metasternnm, 

 and the first abdominal segment black ; scutcllum and posterior episterna pitchy 

 black. Short ovate, strongly convex, covered with a greyish pubescence. Upper 

 surface punctured all over, with the punctures of the elytra somewhat coarse ; a 

 small space at the base, common to both elytra, is impunctate. Elytra without rows 

 of punctures. Metasternum coarsely punctured, conve.x in the middle, and scarcely 

 with a trace of a median impression. First segment of the abdomen al.so somewhat 

 convex ; abdomen not so coarsely punctured as the metasternnm. The co.xal lines 

 have a very remarkable form : they do not reach the apex of the segment and are 

 evenly curved interiorly ; their exterior part is first nearly straight and jiarallel to 

 the hind margin, then arched and abbreviated, ending farther from the base than 

 from the exterior margin of the segment.

Sc. niger, snbconvexus, ovatus, griseo-pubescens ; capite, prothorace, elytro- 

 rnm apice, abdomine (segmentis dnobns primis nigris exceptis) pedibus(|ne 

 rufo-testaceis. Prothorax dense subtiliter pnnctatns, angulis anticis parnm 

 jiroductis fere acutis, lateribus fere rectis, basi utrinque sinuata. Elytra prothorace 

 parum grossius punctata. Metasternum ad latera modice grosse, in medio fere 

 sparsatim, antice subtiliter punctatum, subconvexum, non impressmn. Abdomen 

 dense, segmenti ])rimi medio sparsatim punctatum. Lineae coxales marginem 

 posteriorem segmenti non attingentes, incompletae, intus arcuatae, extus obliquae, 

 abbreviatae. 



Long. 2 mm., elytr. li, lat. 1;^. 



Black, with the head, prothorax, tip of elytra (about i the length), abdomen, 

 and legs rufo-testaceous : the first segment of the al)domen and the base of the 

 second black. Ovate, rather convex, covered with a sliort greyish pubescence. 

 The prothorax has the fore angles a little prominent and rather sliarp, and is 

 very slightly narrowed behind, with the sides nearly straight, the base produced 

 in front of tlie scutellum and sinuate at each side : densely covered all over with 

 rather fine punctures. The elytra are more coarsely punctured, and have no rows 

 of punctures. The metasternum is convex, devoid of a median line or impression, 

 densely punctured at the sides, the punctuation stronger and less dense in the 

 middle before the hind margin, and much finer towards the mesosternum. Abdomen 

 densely punctuated, with the punctures sparser in the middle of the first segment. 

 Coxal lines incomplete, not reaching the hind margin of the segment, with the 

 interior portion arcuate, the exterior one obliijue and not extending to the lateral 

 margin of the segment. 



Hab. Martapura, S.E. Borneo (\V. Doherty, 1891). 



This species n-grees with the preceding in the shape of tlie coxal lines ; it has, 

 however, a much more oblong outline, a tiner punctuation on the elytra, and the 

 colour of its head, prothorax, legs, etc., is much more rufous, and the scutellum and 

 sides of the metasternum are black. 



Sc. thoracicalis, described below, is nearly of the same colour, but has a shorter 

 shape, complete coxal lines. ;iiid rows of jninctures on tin' elytra.
