532 Dr. Malcolm Cameron’s descriptions of 
11. Stenus (Hypostenus) nilgiriensis, n. sp. 
Black, shining; elytra much shorter than the thorax, fore-parts 
very coarsely and closely punctured; abdomen feebly margined 
at the sides, moderately strongly and closely punctured anteriorly. 
Antennae, legs and palpi yellow, the club of the former slightly 
infuscate. Fourth joint of tarsi bilobed. Length 4 mm. 
In size and build almost exactly similar to S. brachypterus, Kr., 
from which it is at once distinguished by the much stronger punctura- 
tion and the longer thorax. 
Head large, nearly as broad as the elytra posteriorly, depressed 
between the eyes without central raised space, closely and deeply 
punctured. Antennae slender, 3rd joint much longer than 2nd, 
4th to 8th gradually decreasing in length, 9th, 10th and 11th oval, 
stouter than the preceding, forming a club. Thorax much narrower 
than the head, a little longer than the greatest breadth which is just 
before the middle, narrowed gradually in front, more strongly 
behind, strongly and closely punctured like the head. LHlytra 
(measured along the suture) half the length of the thorax, narrower 
at the shoulders, widened behind and strongly emarginate, more 
strongly and deeply punctured than the thorax. Abdomen cylin- 
drical, narrowly margined, pretty coarsely and closely punctured, 
(but less so than the fore-parts) the last two segments more finely 
and sparingly punctured; the last segment with two short, rather 
stout spines. 
3: Last ventral segment with a shallow emargination. 
Hab. 8. Invia, Nilgiri Hills, Ouchterlony Valley, 5000 
feet above sea-level, by sweeping (Mr. H. E. Andrewes’ 
Collection). Collected by Mr. H. L. Andrewes. 
12. Stenus (Nestus) carinatus, n. sp. 
Black, shining, puncturation of the fore-parts coarse, more or 
less transversely confluent on the thorax. Abdomen pointed, 
margined, the first three visible segments each with three distinct 
keels at the bases, fourth with a smaller median keel only: the 
segments rather closely punctured in the basal depressions, much 
less closely towards the apical borders. Palpi and legs testaceous, 
the extreme apices of the femora brownish. Antennae with first 
seven joints brownish testaceous, the rest blackish. Fourth joints 
of tarsi simple. Length 3°3 mm. 
In size and build almost exactly similar to S. tricarinatus, Kr., 
but easily distinguished by the carinate, margined, abdomen and 
the simple fourth tarsal joints.
