Antennae formed as in A. exiguus, the 1st joint stout, the 3rd 

 shorter than the 2nd. scarcely longer than broad, 4th, 5th and 6th 

 small and transverse, 7th to 10th considerably broader forming with 

 the last a distinct club. Thorax as wide as the head (including the 

 eyes), a little broader (at the anterior margin) than long, the sides 

 converging gradually backwards to a little before the posterior 

 angles, where they are slightly constrict< d; posterior angles bluntly 

 rectangular with distinct rounded impression adjacent : disc with a 

 fine median sulcus not nearly extending to the anterior or posterior 

 borders, and an obscure rounded impression on either side ; anterior 

 margin with a minute fovea on either side nearer to the middle line 

 than to the anterior angles; sculpture as on the head, no visible 

 puncturation. Elytra as wide as the thorax at the anterior angli s, 

 longer than broad, parallel, sutural stria distinct; disc with an 

 obscure fovea on cither side; sculpture as on fore-parts, with the 

 addition of a few exceedingly fine, scarcely visible punctures. 

 Abdomen cylindrical, last segment testaceous, finely coriaceous, 

 each segment with a puncture on either side bearing an erect seta, 

 lateral setae fee ble. 



Hab. Bukit Panjang and Bukit Timah, under bark. 

 2. Lispinus setosus, n. sp. 



Rufous, shining, head and abdomen pitchy; thorax transverse, 

 scarcely constricted at the base. Length 2 - 9 mm. 



A rather brightly-coloured, shining species. Allied to L. impressi- 

 collis, Kr., and specularis, Bernh., but larger, and more robust and 

 shining, than the former, with the thorax scarcely constricted before 

 the base, both the median and lateral impressions less marked and 

 the setae everywhere more numerous and stronger; separable Iron: 

 specularis by its still larger and stonier build, less constricted thorax, 

 less marked lateral impressions, stouter antennae, more finely and 

 sparingly punctured elytra, and the more numerous and stronger 

 setae. Head pitchy-red, front rufeseent, distinctly impressed on 

 either side, finely and sparingly punctured, sides with long, rtvet, 

 yellowish setae; ground-sculpture scarcely visible. Antennae 

 reddish-testaceous, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th joints subequal, short, 5th 

 as long as broad, 6th to loth transverse gradually increasing in 

 width. I 1 1 1 i short-oval, acuminate. Thorax distinctly transverse, 

 widest just before the middle, the sides rounded and converging 

 anteriorly, contracted posteriorly in nearly a straight line, with 

 scarcely a trace of sinuation; posterior angles with a small oval 

 superficial impression, situated in front of which are two (as com- 

 pared with the general puncturation) large punctures; disc with an
