64 GLYPTOLUS VIRIDIS. 



tarsal joint as long as the two following ones united. 

 Claws appendiculate. 



In the collection before me are specimens from Silago , 

 Moeara Laboe , Doesoen Tengah , Loeboe Gedang . Soeroe- 

 langoen and Mesauw (Sumatra-Expedition) , as well as a 

 specimen from Solok (J. H. Schagen van Leeuwen), and 

 another from Soekadana (T. C. van Hasselt). 



Sermi/loides , nov. gen. (Sect, Sermylinae). 



Body ovate, convex. Head transversely grooved between 

 the eyes, the latter entire. Labrum prominent. Third joint 

 of palpi incrassate , terminal joint small , acute. Antennae 

 filiform , slender , third joint of male dilated at the base , 

 nearly equal in length to the following joints, second one 

 very small, moniliform. Thorax transverse, the sides straight, 

 narrowly margined, surface without depressions. Scutellum 

 trigonate. Elytra convex, closely punctured, the punctures 

 semiregularly arranged, their epipleurae prolonged below 

 the middle. Legs slender. Tibiae with a small spine. 

 Posterior first tarsal joint longer than the 3 following ones 

 united. Claws appendiculate. Prosternum very narrow, coxal 

 cavities closed. 



9- Antennae with the third joint simple. 



The above characters will place this genus in Chapuis' 

 20th group , from all of which I am obliged to separate 

 it by the incrassate penultimate joint of the palpi. In its 

 other structural characters it approaches the genus Leptar- 

 tlira from which it must however be separated by the 

 different comparative length and structure of the antennae 

 and different shape of the elytra which are devoid of any 

 basal depression. 



Malacotheria Fairm. has a differently shaped thorax and 

 scutellum. Macrima Baly differs in the thoracic depression, 

 not incrassate palpi and different comparative length of 

 the joints of the antennae.
