382 STAG-BEETLES (FAM. LUCANIDAE ) 



distinguished by its punctures thickly covered with brownish 

 short hairs, in which it resembles Gnaphaloryx velutinus 

 Thorns., but all punctures on the whole body are not so large 

 and deep as in Gn. punctipennis , so that the upper surface 

 is much smoother. The head has the anterior angles rounded, 

 the small ocular canthus is not rectangular, truncated back- 

 wards ; the excavated clypeus is l)roader than in the named 

 species, with truncated angles. The mandibles are more 

 slender and armed with an obtuse tooth (which is bifid in Xen. 

 punctipennis). The body is more slender and vaulted. The 

 prothorax has the rounded anterior angles not so produced 

 and shows a very indistinct longitudinal groove on the disc. 

 The elytra are more rounded at the tip and also the scutellum 

 is more rounded. The femora have several longitudinal hairy 

 stripies. The 4 posterior tibiae are armed with a spine some- 

 what below the midst. I name this species in honour of Dr. 

 med. R. Ilriesche, Berlin- Wilmersdorf, who has aided me to 

 correctly identify the Sarawak specimens.
