Amongst the i)ale coloured s})ecies of this genus, the present 

 one may be distinguished by tlie com})arative long thorax, its 

 rounded sides and deej) punctures, by the equally dee})ly punc- 

 tured elytra and the lateral costa and by the darker underside, 

 head and thorax , in the female , all the elytral interstices are 

 costate, there is also a small tubercle to be seen immediately 

 below the shoulders which is however also found in several 

 other species ; in the variety the elytra are without l)lack ])ands. 



^3. Nodostoma Modiglianii, n. sp. — Fulvous, the apical joint 

 of the antennae fuscous, thorax transverse , subangulate at the 

 middle, deeply punctured, elytra llavous with the basal portion 

 raised, deeply punctate-striate, with a short oblique costa l)elow 

 the shoulders, the interstices slightly convex. 



Length 1 V4-I V2 ^^'^6- 



Head distinctly l)ut remotely punctured, the clypeus not sepa- 

 rated from the face with a few deep punctures, antennae two- 

 thirds the length of the l)ody, fulvous , the apex of the apical 

 joints and the terminal joint entirely, fuscous, third and fourth 

 joints equal ; thorax nearly twice as broad as long , the sides 

 obtusely angulate at the middle, obliquely narrowed Ijefore and 

 below the latter, posterior angles tuberculate, the surface deeply 

 and rather closely punctured, the interspaces somewhat convex 

 and scarcely broader than the punctures themselves, scutellum 

 small; elytra with the basal portion distinctly convex, strongly 

 punctate-striate, the interstices sparingly and finely })unctured, 

 the sides below the shoulders with a short oblique costa, legs 

 rather long, the femora with an extremely minute tooth.

 D. Tarabugna, Pangherang-Pisang, numerous specimens. 



iV. impressipennis/ Jac. is very closely allied but has Idackish 

 antennae with pale l)asal joints and is a larger species.
