CBEMASTOGASTER. 135 



I have a specimen from Tenasserim which I identify somewhat 

 doubtfully as this species. It resembles C. ebenina, but is smaller 

 and black : it has the cheeks and antennal hollows finely striate, 

 and the pedicel as in C, ebenina var. corax, Forel, but differs from 

 Forel's description of C. travancorensis by the pilosity being ex- 

 tremely sparse, almost wanting.

^ . Light chestnut-red all over, smooth, polished and shining, 

 the antennal hollows and tlie cheeks below the eyes finely striate ; 

 pilosity pale, sparse, r-ather long. Head square, mandibles finely 

 striate at base, clypeus with a small medial impression ; antennse 

 comparatively long, the scape extending slightly beyond the top of 

 the laead ; club of the flagellum formed of the apical three joints ; 

 eyes not prominent, placed rather above the medial line of the 

 head. Thoi-ax : the pronotum slightly convex, rounded anteriorly, 

 somewhat laterally bituberculate ; pro-mesonotal suture obsolete ; 

 meso-metanotal suture distinct, the thorax constricted and im- 

 pressed at the suture ; metanotum with the basal portion level, 

 widening posteriorly, with very short, acute, divergent spines at 

 the posterior lateral angles, and an obsolete longitudinal stria or 

 two laterally above, apical portion oblique and sloping. Pedicel : 

 the 1st joint flat, circular iu front, with a slight wide emargination 

 at apex above ; 2u(I joint narrower than the 1st, seen from above 

 with three small rounded tubei'cles ; abdomen about as long as 

 the thorax or a little longer.
