Platysoma (Platylistcr) kempi, n. sp. 



Ohlongo-ovatum, subconvexum, nigrum, nitidum. Fronte cum 

 clypeo impressa, stria antice recta. Pronoto laevi, stria laterali 

 integra. Elytris striis 1 — 6 fere integris, suturali postice ahhreviata, 

 4, 5 suturalique antice punctiformihus. Propygidio pygidioque 

 ■Htrinque impressis, grosse denseque ocellato-punctatis, hoc tenuiter 

 marginato. Prosterno loho rotundato, punctulato, stria marginali 

 antice inter rupta ; mesosterno antice paulo emarginato, stria integra. 

 Tibiis anticis 4-dentatis. 



Long. 5^ mm. 



The lateral stria of the pronotum is convergent with the 

 margin towards the anterior angle. The inner elytral striae are 

 anteriorly represented by ranges of punctures, only the sutural 

 stria is abbreviated (behind). The marginal stria of the prosternal 

 l»be is distinctly interrupted anteriorly. 



This species is not similar to any known species of Platylistcr. 



Rotung 1400 ft., under bark (Dec. 23, 1911, Kemp). Only 

 one example.

Platysoma (s. str.) crassum, n. sp. 



Ovatum, convexum, nigro-piceum , nitidum; antennis pedi- 

 busque piceis. Fronte fere plana, stria antice recta, clypeo subcon- 

 cavo, mandibulis canaliculatis . Thorace stria laterali integra, 

 margini laterali parallela, foveola ante scutellum. Elytris striis 

 dorsalibus 1 — 3 integris, 4 et ^ aequalibus ultra medium abbreviatis. 

 Propygidio fortiter sat dense ocellaio-punctato , pygidio paulo minus 

 punctato, lateribus inipressis, margine elevato, apice laevi. Pros- 

 terno inter coxas angusto, lobo punctulato. Mesosterno emarginato , 

 stria integra. Tibiis anticis 4-dentatis. 



Long. 3I mm. 



Similar to Platysoma silvestre, Schm., but more convex ; the 

 fourth and fifth dorsal striae are much longer (| of the length of 

 the elytra) ; the front is plain, the clypeus very feebly impressed. 

 The posterior tooth of the anterior tibiae is very small. 



Kobo, 400 ft., in rotten wood. Only one example.
