440 STAPHYLINIDAE. 



Palaminus borneensis n. sp. 



Riifo-testaceoiis, abdomeD brown ; thorax slightly trans- 

 verse, coarsely, moderately closely punctured; elytra twice as 

 long as thorax, closely transversely rugosely punctured. 

 Antennre and legs yellow. Length o mm. 



Scarcely differing in build and colour from P. indicus Kr., 

 but a little larger, the puncturation of the elytra is quite 

 different being distinctly transversely rugose and giving a 

 rougher appearance. 



Mt. Dulit, 3,500 feet, a single specimen. 



PALAinNUS GERMANUS n. Sp. 



Rufo-testaceous, abdomen brown ; thorax distinctly trans- 

 verse, coarsely and closely punctured ; elytra twice as long as 

 thorax, closely, transversely rugosely punctured. Antenna; 

 and legs yellow. Length 5 mm. Very near the preceding, 

 but the thorax is more transverse and more closely punctured 

 and the puncturation of the elytra finer. 



Mt. Murud, 6000 feet, a single specimen. 



ASTENUS ALBIPES n. sp. 



Black, posterior margin of the elytra very narrowly pale 

 yellow. Antennae, palpi coxc-b and legs pale. Length 6 mm. 

 In build very similar to A. leptocents Epp., but the eyes are 

 larger, the postocular space more nearly parallel ; thorax longer 

 and the elytra a little longer and differently coloured. Head 

 longer than broad, the eyes large, the posterior angles broadly 

 rounded, closely umbilicately punctured. Antennae slender 

 reaching the base of the elytra, all the joints much longer than 

 broad. Thorax longer than broad, widest at the rounded 

 anterior angles, and narjo\ved l)ehind, the sides each with 

 three black seta=*, puncturation as on the head. Elytra 

 broader nnd as long as the thorax, longer than broad, 

 rather coarsely, closely rugosely punctured, finely pubescent. 

 Abdomen moderately coarsely, closely punctured in front, 

 gradually more finely and sparingly behind and with long, 

 greyish pubescence.
