BATRISUS FUNDAliüRACCATUS. 151 



Hab, Sumatra: Benkoelen (Leembrugge). — Not rare. 



The basal impression of the thorax sends towards the 

 scutellum an impressed line , whereas the base itself is im- 

 pressed by several pits. — The elytra are very finely and 

 distantly punctured , glossy , and , as well as the whole in- 

 sect , very densely covered with erect long hairs. 



The insect would belong to Motschulsky's genus Hai^- 

 mophoTus ') (to the further consolidation of which 1 do 

 not however wish to contribute as yet) , when the Author 

 had not written: »la forme du corselet rapproche ce genre 

 des Centrophthalmus et des Tyrus'\ which is not well ap- 

 plicable to B. Ritsemae. The terminal joint of the maxil- 

 lary palpi is very fine , setiform. The rest agrees. 



Dedicated to Mr. C. Ritsema Cz., who has kindly sent 

 me in communication the Pselaphidae and Scydmaenidae of 

 the Leyden Museum.
