Three examples, probably belonging to this species. 
They closely resemble S. macleayi, Blackb., but are flatter, 
and have the expanded margins of the thorax and elytra 
ferruginous, and the humeri more angular.

Nyctozoilus sexcostatus,n. sp. (Plate VIII., fig. 9.) 
Oblong ovate, convex, rather broad, dull black, very sparsely 
clothed with exceedingly short, fine, appressed, yellowish-brown 
hairs. Head broad, slightly depressed in front, thickly and finely 
punctate, the epistoma feebly arcuate-emarginate at the apex, the 
antennary orbits prominent and extending more than half-way 
across the eyes; antenne piceous, ferruginous at the tip, not 
reaching the base of the prothorax, thickening a little outwardly, 
joint 3 elongate, about two and a half times as long as 4, 4—7 
decreasing slightly in length, 8 as broad as long, 9 and 10 strongly 
transverse, 11 twice as long as 10, rounded at the tip ; prothorax 
transverse, widest at the middle, a little wider at the base than at 
the apex, moderately convex, with the sides flattened and hori- 
zontally explanate, the apex broadly and deeply emarginate, the 
base (viewed from behind) very broadly and feebly arcuate- 
emarginate, distinctly margined, the sides strongly rounded at the 
middle, obliquely converging anteriorly, and constricted and deeply 
sinuate before the base, the anterior angles sharp and very pro- 
minent, the hind angles obliquely produced behind and overlapping 
the elytra, the lateral margins, and the apical margin (except in the 
middle), feebly reflexed and slightly crenulate, the entire surface 
very minutely shagreened and with shallow, scattered, fine irregular 
punctures (each bearing a short hair), which are more crowded 
towards the middle of the disc, the latter with an indistinct 
median groove and a broad shallow depression on either side of it 
a little behind the middle ; elytra very much wider than, and about 
twice as long as, the prothorax, a little rounded at the sides, 
strongly so at the base, each with three fine, sharp, slightly 
sinuous, smooth carine (the first and third almost confluent behind
