78 BOTHRIDERES REITTERI. 



The suture is accompanied on each elytron by a deeply 

 impressed impunctate line. The elytra on the disk pro- 

 vided with longitudinal rows of punctures of which the 

 first and second are slightly impressed , the second more 

 strongly so towards the base, where moreover the punct- 

 ures are confluent; exteriorly to the third row the punct- 

 ures become less and less distinct ; the exterior margin , 

 which is bisinuated at the apex of the elytra, is accom- 

 panied by a deeply impressed impunctate line. The inter- 

 stices are flat and sparingly covered with almost impercep- 

 tible punctures ; the second interstice (we do not reckon 

 the space between the suture and the sutural line as one) 

 prolonged at the base into a slightly upturned tooth-like 

 projection. The shoulders depressed , somewhat prominent 

 and broadly rounded. 



The under surface of the thorax and of the large first 

 abdominal segment as well as the femora finely and spa- 

 ringly punctured; the second and following ventral seg- 

 ments as well as the tibiae strongly punctured; the apical 

 ventral segment transversely impressed, its hinder margin 

 narrowly truncated. 



The apical margin of the dilated apex of the tibiae ser- 

 rato-dentate ; the external side of the anterior tibiae armed 

 on the middle with three coalesced teeth , that of the inter- 

 mediate tibiae with about six coalesced teeth; the external 

 side of the posterior tibiae unarmed. 



A single specimen captured by Mr. J. C. van Hasselt at 

 Boenga Maas, province of Palembang, Sumatra. 



1 have much pleasure in dedicating this species to Mr. 

 E. Reitter of Vienna , the well known authority on the 

 Nitidulidae and allied families.
