206 Mr. Walter T. H. Blandford's 



moderately shining. Elytra truncate at the base, rather wider than 

 the prothorax and twice as long, with rectangular shoulders, the 

 sides parallel, and not narrowed behind, broadly rounded at the 

 apex; surface cylindrical to beyond the hinder third, and impressed 

 along the suture, thence subabruptly declivous, with substriate rows 

 of large round punctures, separated by transverse elevated rugfe 

 continued across the interstices, the latter slightly convex, moder- 

 ately shining, with erect hairs, uniseriate on the 2nd and succeeding 

 alternate interstices, irregularly biseriate on the others ; declivity 

 oblique, subretuse and flattened, the striae less strongly punctured, 

 appearing deeper on account of the greater convexity of the 

 interstices, the sntural interstice being more and the second less 

 elevated, the hairs arising from elevated points. Underside and 

 legs testaceous ; the tibia3 strongly dentate, the anterior pair 

 subtruncate at apex, the other pairs rounded. 



Hah. Sumatra, Singalang Mts. (Beccari). 



My single specimen has an impression along tlie suture 

 from near the base to the summit of the declivity, which 

 is rather more rugose ; -but this is perhaps an individual 

 feature. The sutural stria is not deeper than the rest, 



Dryocietes gravidus, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ol)ovatus, suljnitidus, fusco-brunneus, breviter pilosus ; 

 prothorace fere semielliptico, dorso post medium gibbo, toto 

 granulate, linea media basali laevi ; elytris sat subtiliter lineato- 

 punctis, interstitiis planis sequaliter irregulariter punctatis, apice 

 fortiter declivi, juxta sutnram subimpresso, interstitio S'* subcon- 

 vexo. Long. 4'8 mm. 



Oblong, widened from the front of the thorax to the hinder 

 third of the elytra, fuscous-brown, the antennte and legs brown- 

 testaceous, with short fine fuscous pubescence. Front oblong, 

 scarcely convex, shining, obsoletely punctate, thinly pilose with 

 long hairs, above mouth with a fine sharp carina ; eyes broad, 

 oblong-oval, anteriorly emarginate. Prothorax broader than long, 

 the sides rounded and rather sharply narrowed from before the 

 base to the apex, the latter more broadly rounded, hind-angles 

 obtuse, base truncate ; surface gibbous just before the base, the 

 elevation not markedly transverse, and, together with the apex, of 

 darker colour, thinly pilose, the marginal hairs longer, and granulate, 

 the granules weaker along the basal limb, which has an ill- defined 

 median smooth line extending to the summit of the elevation.
