the sides iic.'irly straight, slightly obli(|U(' in-ar the aiitcricjr ;mgles, 

 tlie hasal niai'gin broadly produced at the middle, suriace very 

 minutely and r;ither closely punctured, elytra ovate, very finely 

 punctured in rows, the interstices scarcely perceptibly punctured, 

 underside .-ind legs fulvous, breast more or less piccous, finely 

 punctured. 



Hah. Pangherang-l^isnng, also Perack. 



Closely allied to several other Eastern forms es})eciall} to 

 N. fmcicornis, I^aly from Japan but differing in the straight, not 

 rounded sides of the thorax and in the elytral punctuation being 

 arranged in rows, the antennae also have dilated and pui)escent 

 terminal joints which will further help in the recognition of the 

 species. 



92. Sphaeroderma Modiglianii, n. sp. — T'ulvous, the antennae 

 black, three basal joints fulvous, thorax microscopically punctured, 

 elytra very finely and regularly punctate-stria te. 



Var. Below black. 



Length 1 V4 line. 



Head impunctate, antennae robust, extending to the middle 

 of the elytra, the three or sometimes four basal joints fulvous, 

 the others black, pubescent, the second, third and fourth joints 

 very nearly equal, subquadrate, tlie following ones longer, ter- 

 minal Joint sometimes fulvous, thorax strongly widened at the 

 middle, the sides rounded, narrowly margined, anterior angles 

 scarcely thickened , medial lobe broadly rounded , the surface 

 extremely finely and closely punctured , scutellum very small , 

 elytra very finely })unctured in rather closely ap})roached rows. 



Hah. Si-l^ambé. 



Larger than S'. sumalrana and the rows of elytral punctures 

 more widely separated ; these species of Sphuerodenna are how- 

 ever very dillicult to se})arate owing to the great variability, 

 scarcely two specimens being alike, the structure of the antennae 

 varying similarly as well as the elytral {)unctuation, and many 

 specimens are necessary for examination. 



93. Sphaeroderma Raffles!, n. sp. — Flavous, a])ove fulvous, 

 antennae Ijlack , the basal three or four and the apical joint .
