NEW ENDOMYCHIDAE AND EROTYLIDAE 527 



14. Steiiotarsiis AlTbertisii. 



Ovalis, ferrugiiieii.s, nitidiis; elijlrls nigris apicihus ferrugineis, 

 tenuiter 'punctalo-strialis, ante?ims crassiiiscutis nigro-fuscis, basi 

 dilutioribus. Long. 3 millim. 



Hab. New Guinea, Andai, August 1872 (L. M. D'Albertis). 



Ovate, narrowed uniformly before and behind; head and 

 thorax, underside and legs light ferrugineous red, shining not 

 punctured, but sparingly and very finely pubescent. Antennae 

 stout, their second to eighth joints very short and bead-shaped, 

 and clothed with brown pubescence, dark rusty-red almost piceous 

 from the base to the seventh joints ; the club not much thicke- 

 ned, and about as long as the five proceeding joints nearly 

 black. Thorax with the width in front about equal to the length, 

 the base half as wide again , the margin flattened and raised , 

 the edges of the flattened margin being themselves also a little 

 raised, the disk very evenly tumid, with two short basal sulci. 

 Scutellum piceous. Elytra rather oblong, very finely striate, the 

 striae continued beyond the middle but gradually becoming ob- 

 solete, a short rather deep submarginai stria, with larger punc- 

 tures, the elytra are very little pubescent except at the side and 

 apex, and are shining black with the tips red. 



This is a very distinct and pretty little Stenotarsus reminding 

 one of several Scymni. 



It is the first species recorded from New Guinea and was 

 taken in some numbers by Mr. L. M. D'Albertis ; about a dozen 

 examples are now before me, and differ scarcely at all among 

 themselves in size or colour. 



Monocoryna.

 ohlongunij convexum, parce pubescens, caput in prothorace receplum;
