COELOSTERNA STOLZI. 5 
moreover the joints are thinly fringed beneath with black 
hairs. 
Head subquadrate in front; underlobe of the eyes large, 
about as high as broad; face between the eyes higher than 
broad, but very slightly convex. Antennary tubers subap- 
proximate, antennae slender, the nearly impunctate scape 
subeylindrieal, slightly widened out at the tip on the out- 
side and provided with a sharply defined, strongly punctate 
cicatrix; the scape is distinctly shorter than the 3rd joint, 
as long as or slightly longer than the 4th, the 5th to 7th joints 
gradually diminish in length (the 8th and following joints 
are wanting). 
Prothorax transverse, provided on the middle of the sides 
with a strong acute spine, the disk irregularly wrinkled in 
a transverse direction and sprinkled with small black warts 
and punctures. Scutellum triangular with rounded top. 
Elytra proportionately broad, straight at the base, almost 
parallelsided, rather flat at the apices which are truncate 
and each provided with two spines of which the sutural 
one is longer and more sharply pointed than the external 
one. The elytra are covered with punctures which are large 
and deep on the basal portion but which become smaller 
and smaller towards the end; near the base of the elytra 
the punctures or pits are preceded by a small glossy black 
wart; on the top of the shoulders some larger glossy black 
warts are placed close together and beyond the shoulders 
along the lateral margins, for about one third of the length 
of the elytra, the impressed punctures or pits are larger 
and deeper. 
The mesosternal process is bluntly angular and slightly 
hanging down. 
Hab. West-Sumatra: Soerian near Solok, Highlands of 
Padang (P.O. Stolz). — A single female specimen. 
I have much pleasure in dedicating this species to Mr. 
P. O. Stolz, who has enriched the Leyden Museum with 
numerous lots of insects, especially Lepidoptera and Coleo- 
ptera, all from the neighbourhood of Solok. Among the 
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXXIV.
