new species of Endomycict. 19 
Stenotarsus scymnoides, n. Sp. 
Oblongo-ovalis, rufus, pube erecta flava vestitus, anten- 
narum claya nigra, elytris fortiter sparsim punctatis, tho- 
racis margine laterali leviter excavato retrorsum attenuato. 
Long. lin. 14. 
Head and disc of the thorax shining, with a few small 
punctures, the latter with the side narrowed in_ front, 
slightly rounded ; lateral margins wide, considerably 
raised, narrowed a little towards the base and with its 
own sides raised, thus giving it the appearance of being 
concave: base with a deep fossa just within the lateral 
margin. Elytra elongate-cordate, widest about one-third 
from the base; shoulders raised into a tubercle, which is 
often lighter in colour than the rest of the surface, their 
disc coarsely punctate, except near the scutellum, and with 
smaller punctures here and there; the larger punctures 
are most conspicuous towards the shoulders and apex; 
their surface is uniformly clothed with a fine, but thick, 
erect, yellow pile. Antenne about half the body’s length, 
clear testaceous-red, excepting only the club, of which the 
extreme apex even is red; the eighth joint is pitchy in 
some specimens, the basal joints are rather longer than 
wide; ninth and tenth much wider than preceding, sub- 
quadrate; eleventh twice as long as wide. Legs red.

Stenotarsus pantherinus, un. sp. 
Oblongo-ovatus, ferrugineus, nitidus, antennarum clava, 
thoracis disco elytrorumque maculis duabus obliquis nigris. 
Long. lin. 3. 
Closely allied to S. pardalis, Gerst., but readily dis- 
tinguished from that species by the absence of the sutural 
and apical spots. The basal spot does not quite reach 
the base, whereas all the specimens I have examined of 
pardalis have it commencing from the base, very nearly 
reaching to the scutellum; both the spots are also more 
oval and oblique. The punctuation is finer, the striz less 
visible. The underside is entirely red, without any indi- 
cation of the dark sides of the meso-sternum and abdomen 
which are usually to be observed in pardalis. 
From nobilis, Gerst., the position and form of the spots 
will at once distinguish it. 
Hab.—Peninsula Malacca, Penang. Coll. Gorham and
