Hai). Burma, Teinzò. 



This insect is wider and more oval than .S. birmaniciis it has 

 moreover the elytra with the punctures hardly brought into 

 rows, they are simply rather more thickly congested in the very 

 obsolete sulci. The })ubescence is thin but rather long. The 

 joints of the funiculus of the antennae are rather longer than 

 in S. birmanicus. The thorax narrows more in front, and the 

 margin is wider but more distinctly narrowed behind than in 

 that species. There is no Eastern species marked like it. 



One example. 



Section IS. c. 



Orbicular, with the elytra evenly thickly and strongly punctured; neidier 

 sulcate nor striate. 



To. Stenotarsus contractus, n. sp. 



Orbicularis, pallide /laou-ferrugineus, thorace perbrevi margine 

 laterali tenui, deplanato, elgtris crebre aequaliter fortiter punctatis, 

 pube brevi erecta vestitis, anten/iis brevibus, clava valida pubescente. 

 Long. 2.5 millim. 



Ilab. Tenasserim , Meetan. 



This curious insect might not at lirst be taken for a Steno- 

 tarsus J^eing as orbicular as a lUiginbus; the margin of the thorax 

 is tlatttnied but is very narrow, and the tlionix is so short 

 (being a])Out four times as wide as long) that the margin folds 

 rounds the front a little so that there are literally no front 

 angles at all. The )»as;il striolat' are represented by puiictilbrm 

 foveae. The unilbnnly punctured even elytra would seem to 

 remove it frum Sicnu/arsus, ur rather from the Eastern Section,
