very short depressed pubescence. The antennae are of averape 

 length iii this genus, the third joint about half as long again as the 

 fourth, and not so long as in sorae species ; the thorax twice as wide 

 as long (the length being taken without the produced front angles). 

 The front angles not very acute, becanse the margin is sinuate, 

 the inargins at the sides and base rather calions; a transverse 

 line before the base, and very obsolète basai sulci, there is a deep 

 impression in the iniddle in front. The prosternai process is short 

 and rough, the apical mucros blunt. The elytra hâve the shoulders 

 obliquely eut off, the humerai callus rising in an oblique keel above 

 them. The central tubercules point backward a very little, they 

 are very blunt, shining at the tips, the smaller ones lie between 

 them and the outside of the callosities of the humérus. They are 

 of the ground colour of the elytra. The surface between them and 

 behind the large tubercules is occupied by broken irregular punc- 

 tures,. often confluent. The apices of the elytra are obliquely sub- 

 truncate, but the angles are roughly rounded off. 



T4iere is unfortunately only a single maie example of this Am- 

 pliistermis in the collection, it is the only species I hâve seen 

 that is pubescent; and that, and the red markings remind one of 

 Engonius lunularis. It was captured by J. R. D. Bell, Esq.

A single raale example from each locality. This species has not, 

 as far as I aware, been recorded before, except from Ceylon.

 This insect is not in M. Andrewes collection, but has been met 



with by P. Cardon at Rarway, and by L. Fea in Burma. It is very 

 nearly allied to E. annularis, but is not pubescent, is more dis- 

 linctly punctured. 



The .maie has a large tricarinate tubercule on the apical ventral 

 segment, and the front and middle tibiae are bent.
