sinuatis, angulis posticis rectis; supra lævis, basi discrete grosse 
punctatus, foveis basalibus profundis, antice punctulis sparsis vix 
perspicuis. Elytra striata, striis versus apicem vix profundioribus, 
ibique interstitiis alternatim latioribus, his dorso minus planis haud 
distincte punctulatis, 3i° 5'° et 7° seriato-punctatis; apice sicut in

All the numerous examples of this distinct species that I have 
seen from Ceylon and Tranquebar have the legs entirely testaceous- 
yellow. The equally numerous individuals from Chota-Nagpore, as 
well as two I have examined from Bombay, have the femora dark 
fusco-œneous; it happens desirable to distinguish this variety by a 
name. The species is closely allied to P. nagpurensis, but is very 
distinct in its narrower form, the hind angles of the thorax very 
obtuse, sometimes rounded, and the elytral striæ much deeper 
towards the apex and the interstices all of equal width. 
Platymetopus (?) sublævis n. sp. 
Elongatus, niger nitidus, palpis antennis pedibusque flavo-testaceis 
(interdam plus minusve piceis). Caput et thorax polita, epistomate 
arcuato-emarginato, sutura frontali tenui utrinque curvatim oculum 
versus continuata ; thorace subrotundato, lævi, fovea utrinque lata et 
toto basi punctulatis. Elytra acute striata, interstitiis subplanis 
punctulato-pubescentibus (interioribus sparsius et nitidis) 3i° 5° 7m 
seriatim punctatis. Mentum breviter triangulariter dentatum. — 
Long. 11 millim.

This and the following belong to a group of which several 
species are known from South-Eastern Asia and its islands, all of 
which differ from Platymetopus in facies and ressemble more the 
larger Ophoni. The mentum is in some edentate and in others 
furnished with a small triangular tooth. ÆZarpalus punctilabris, 
Macleay (Annulosa Javanica, p. 20) probably belongs to the group. 
Platymetopus (?) major n. sp. 
P. sublævi similis at major, forsan ejus varietas. Elongatus niger, 
politus, palpis antennis pedibusque flavo-testaceis, tarsis obscuriori- 
bus. Caput relative magnum, læve, epistomate antice sat fortiter 
arcuato, foveis frontalibus extus ramulam tenuem emittentibus. 
Thorax relative parum subrotundatus, postice magis quam antice 
angustatus, angulis posticis omnino rotundatis ; Iævis fovea utrinque
