Hab. Pangherang-Pisang. 



This is the first species of Lamprosoma known from the Ma- 

 layan region, China and Japan having furnished some few other 

 representatives of the genus. I am unfortunately not able to say 

 anything about the antennae of the present species, as all my 

 endeavours to dislodge them from their deeply placed groove 

 have failed and tliere are only two specimens available for exa- 

 mination ; the Sumatran species reseml)les greatly in colour and 

 shape many of its South American congeners but the })unctuation 

 of the elytra is closer and less regular than is generally the 

 case.

Body elongate, subcAliiidrieal, anteiniae filifoi-m, the second 

 joint elongate, as long as the third, thorax subcylindrical, broader 

 than long, the angles dentiform, elytra broader than the thorax, 

 punctate-stria te, femora incrassate, with a small tooth, interme- 

 diate tibiae emarginate at the a])ex, jiosterior ones entire, claws 

 acutely appendiculate, the anterior margin of the thoracic epister- 

 num concave; prosternum subquadrate, the base truncate. 



The species for which the present genus is proposed has 

 somewhat the appearance and shape of a Ti/fio/t/iorus or Si/ayrus,
