196 LIPAROCHRUS DERASUS. 



exteriorly, considerably protruding over the labrum. Tho- 

 rax with the anterior angles pointed, the posterior ones 

 rounded , its surface very strongly and densely punctuated , 

 with a slight longitudinal depression opposite to the scu- 

 tellum. The latter is a narrow triangle. Elytra with 

 more than twenty rows of rather large punctures, some- 

 what confused on the sides; before the middle and on both 

 sides of the suture a shining space ; the apex of the elytra 

 notched, and with a small tooth at the suture. The under- 

 surface of the body hardly pubescent. The anterior tibiae 

 tridentate. The first joint of the club of the antennae 

 embracing the following. 



It is a very peculiar species , which shows considerable 

 afiinity to the Hijbosoriis and the Phaeochrous , but as I 

 have observed only five abdominal segments it will have to 

 be placed among the Liparochriis, which it moreover re- 

 sembles by the strongly rounded posterior angles of the 

 thorax. 



Two specimens, captured in June 1877 at Simawoeng, 

 have been brought home by the Sumatra-Expedition.
