but differs from these genera in having no depressions or 
grooves on the thorax, and in possessing appendiculate 
instead of bifid claws. These differences seem to justify 
its separation from the allied genera. 
Blepharoides flavitarsis, n. sp. 
Piceous, the labrum, antennex, and the tarsi flavous; thorax 
sparingly punctured on the disc, very closely and strongly at the 
sides; elytra strongly punctate-striate, the interstices costate, fur- 
nished with numerous small flavous spots. Length, 23 lines. 
Of dark piceous general colour. The head finely and closely 
punctured near the eyes, its surface flattened, without depressions 
or tubercles, the anterior margin of the clypeus straight, labrum 
testaceous ; antenne flavous, scarcely extending beyond the base 
of the elytra, the third and fourth joints slender, equal to one 
another, and longer than the following joints, these slightly and 
gradually thickened ; thorax rather more than twice as broad as 
long, the sides straight at the base, rounded before the middle, the 
anterior angles oblique, the sides densely and strongly, the middle 
sparingly and more finely, punctured, with a very shallow trans- 
verse depression near the base; scutellum small and narrow ; 
elytra not wider at the base than the thorax, regularly and strongly 
punctate-striate, the interstices longitudinally costate at the sides. 
On each interstice a number of small flavous spots are placed, 
which are, however, almost absent at the sides, and vary in 
position on each elytron. Under side finely pubescent, tarsi 
flavous. 
Hab. Sumatra. 
On account of the absence of the thoracic grooves 
and the colour of the tarsi, B. flavitarsis cannot be mis- 
taken for any nearly similarly coloured species. 
Kuphitrea foveicollis, n. sp. 
Broadly ovate, rounded, fulvous, with a violaceous tint above ; 
head and thorax very finely and closely punctured, the latter with 
a deep fovea anteriorly at each side; elytra very strongly and 
closely punctured, the lateral margin thickened anteriorly. Length, 
32 lines. 
Head extremely minutely punctured, deeply obliquely grooved 
above the eyes; clypeus thickened and widened between the 
antenne, impunctate; palpi slender; antenne fulvous, not ex- 
tending to the middle of the elytra, all the joints, with the excep-
