.^^8 CONDKRIS MIN'IATUS. 



This species agrees closely in sculpture witii the pre- 

 ceediug one but the antennae ave not pectinate although 

 the specimens appear to be males. The eyes are rather 

 large and prominent. The thorax has deep areolets all 

 well defiued , the centre of the base is produced , and the 

 sides of" the thorax contracted and the hind angles accor- 

 dingly acute. The scutellum is black, at least at the 

 base, but the apex is yellowish. The elytra have distinct 

 squarish cells , the costae and transverse ridges equally raised. 



Two specimens are all I have seen ; they are from the 

 district of Rawas (Sum. Exp.). 



10. Conderis ^) miniatus, sp. n. 



Nigro-fuscus ; capite nitido , prothorace brevissimo, qua- 

 drifoveolato , nigro-piceo , scutello apice rufo , elytris mi- 

 niatis , limbo tenui apiceque flavescentibus , obsolete qua- 

 dricostatis , inter vallis irregulariter biseriatim reticulatis. — 

 Long. 10 millim. 9- 



This Conderis dififers from either of Mr. Waterhouses 

 species in not having any central groove on the thorax , 

 and in the extreme shortness of that part , it being quite 

 twice as broad as long; the raised margins and lines on 

 its disk are pitchy-yellow. The antennae are acutely and 

 widely serrate. 



In size and colour it very much resembles the insect 

 described in this paper as Lyropaeus Waterhousei. The 

 structure of the antennae and thorax are so totally diffe- 

 rent in that insect that the likeness is of course only su- 

 perficial. 



A single female taken at Soeroelangoen (Sum. Exp.). 



1) Conderis differs from the foregoing genera in liaving tlie thorax with 

 only four areolets in addition to the central groove; there are thus two fron- 

 tal transverse anterior and two squarish posterior areolets, the division between 

 which joins the margins of the central groove where it is widest. 'I'he struc- 

 ture is best understood by a reference to Waterh. Illust. of Tyi)ical ('nl. Tab. 

 XV. fig {^Conderis major).
