rather finely and closely punctured, finely coriaceous. Antennae ex- 

 tending to the posterior angles of thorax, the penultimate segments

 almost parallel, only slightly narrower behind than in front ; the an- 

 terior angles prominent, pointed ; median sulcus and prebasal impres-

 head. Elytra slightly longer and broader than the thorax (3:2.3), 

 broader than long (3.5 : 3), the sides gently rounded, the sutural stria 

 rather broad, the puncturation much like that of the thorax but ground 

 sculpture absent. Abdomen slightly narrowed posteriorly, the first

26. LISPINUS FORMOSANUS, new species (Bernhauer in litt.) 



Narrow elongate shining black, the last tergite reddish. Antennae 

 red. Legs reddish yellow. Of the narrow elongate build of elongatus 

 Bernhauer but with longer antennae and different abdominal sculp-

 between the antennae, rather closely, moderately coarsely punctured 

 posteriorly, the punctures larger than in elongatus, less closely in 

 front, the ground sculpture fine, more or less longitudinally striate.

 all longer than broad, gradually decreasing in length, the penultimate 

 only slightly longer. Thorax very slightly broader than long ( 2.5 :2.3) , 

 the sides feebly rounded, straight and retracted behind, along the
