172 OMOTEMNUS STOLZI. 
Q; it has a triangular shape with rounded tip, more broadly 
rounded in the o than in the Q, the tip fringed with 
stiff black hairs; a trace of a median keel is present in 
both sexes. 
The undersurface shows very minute granules which 
are densely set on the sterna (especially the prosternum) 
of the o’. The apical ventral segment in the <j is truncate 
posteriorly and here provided with punctures which bear 
stiff black bristles; in the Q the apex is subacuminate 
and without hairs. 
The legs are glossy, very remotely covered with distinct 
punctures and, with the exception of the posterior femora, 
fringed with black hairs. — In the { the femora of all 
the legs are notched near the tip at the underside; the 
undersurface of the anterior femora is provided on the 
inside with a compressed ridge; the femora of the fore- 
and middle-legs are fringed, the hairs decreasing in length 
towards the notch; the tibiae of all the legs are likewise 
fringed, but the fringe is denser, especially that of the 
front tibiae; the middle- and hind-tibiae are very slightly 
dilated beneath near the base; the underside of the tarsi 
is also fringed. — In the Q the fringe of the anterior 
femora is restricted to a tuft of black hairs, just in front 
of the trochanter; the other fringes are present though 
much less dense than in the ©. 
Omotemnus Stolzi is, I believe, the second known species 
in this genus with black fringes to the legs and to the 
apex of the last abdominal segment. The first described 
species, O. nigrocrinitus Faust from N. E. Borneo '), differs 
in the male sex (the female is not known) by the other- 
wise shaped rostrum and by the different coloration. In 
Rhynchophorus lobatus Rits.*), an entirely black species 
which likewise belongs to the genus Omotemnus, the 
fringes to the legs are ferruginous black.
