140 LUCANIDAE OF THE DUTCH BORNEO-EXPEDITION. 



base than to the front margin, two round ones just before 

 the middle of the length , two oval ones near the base , 

 just between the median impression and the lateral mar- 

 gins , and two more diffuse ones on the outside of the 

 round impressions ; moreover a group of large punctures 

 is present along the front margin between the lateral 

 angles and the median tubercle. The scutellum is narrow 

 and elongate, without punctures. 



The elytra are very glossy, narrower than the prothorax 

 and slightly narrowing towards the end , the shoulders 

 faintly pointed; they are regularly striate all-over, the 

 striae provided with a row of coherent shallow and opaque 

 punctures which become larger towards the sides of the 

 elytra; the interstices are convex and impunctate with the 

 exception of the two outermost ones which are flat and 

 bear a few punctures; the apical portion is coarsely 

 punctured. 



The jugulum is very glossy and impunctate, the mentum 

 irregularly and indistinctly wrinkled. The middle of the 

 metasternum is indistinctly puoctured and provided with 

 an impressed median line which does not reach the front 

 margin , the sides are covered with horse-shoe shaped 

 punctures. The abdominal segments are densely covered 

 with large punctures; on the last segment, however, they 

 are smaller and wider apart, and moreover a faint impres- 

 sion may be observed in the lateral corners. The inter- 

 mediate tibiae are armed with four, the posterior ones 

 with three spines. 



This species belongs to Parry's Section C: elytra regu- 

 larly punctate-striate.
