188 NIGIDIUS KINABALUENSIS. 



the outside , only an almost inconspicuous trace of a tu- 

 bercle; the recurved process is stout, its tip faintly emar- 

 ginate and at some distance from it , nearer to the base , 

 a distinct tubercle is present on the raised front margin 

 which tubercle is not present in Hageni. 



The prothorax has no distinct tubercle in the centre of 

 its anterior margin and the central fovea is only indicated 

 by a group of punctures in the smooth middle of the disc; 

 the sides are covered with large circular punctures , the 

 anterior lateral angles are obliquely truncated and narrowly 

 flattened; just beyond this flattened portion the sides are 

 slightly bent inwards. The scutellum bears a few large 

 punctures. 



The elytra are shorter than in Hageni^ the shoulders 

 angular or indistinctly toothed; the bottom of the sulci is 

 covered with a row of large semicircular or horseshoe-shaped 

 punctures which row is accompanied on both sides by a 

 row of small circular ones. 



The under surface is strongly and very densely punctured. 

 The middle and hiud tibiae have each two acute spines 

 about the middle externally , in one specimen however there 

 are three spines on the middle tibiae.
