New Species of Slaphylinidae from Singapore. 6] 



OXYTELI. 

 1. Trogophloeus (s. str.) orienfalis, n.sp. 



Black nearly opaque, head and thorax densely punctured and grey- 

 pubescent; elytra distinctly longer than the thorax; first two 

 joints of the antennae and the legs testaceous. Length 2 mm. 



In the dull, scarcely shining and pubescent surface this species 

 much resembles T. elongatulus, Er., but differs from it in the follow- 

 ing respects : the antennae are more elongate, the 5th and (itli joints 

 being longer than broad ; the eyes are much larger and the temples 

 very small; the thorax is slightly longer, with the sides distinctly 

 less rounded towards the base, and the elytra are much longer. 

 Head transverse, impressed on each side in front within the antennal 

 tubercles; eyes very large, temples very small, densely punctured 

 and grey-pubescent. Antennae with the 2nd and 3rd joints sub- 

 equal, 4th to 7th all a little longer than broad, gradually decreasing 

 in length, 8th to 10th slightly transverse, gradually increasing in 

 breadth, 11th moderately elongate, oval; the first two joints clear 

 testaceous, the rest infuscate. Thorax a little broader than the 

 head, broadest at the junction of the first and second fourths, gently 

 rounded and narrowed anteriorly, narrowed posteriorly to the base 

 in an almost straight line; disc with four obsolete impressions, the 

 posterior pair being the more distinct; sculpture and pubescence 

 as on the head. Elytra broader and about one -fourth longer 

 than the thorax, much more finely and densely punctured than 

 in T. elongatulus. Abdomen a little widened posteriorly, densely 

 shagreened and grey-pubescent. 



Hab. Keppel Harbour, in debris. One specimen. 



It is possible that this species is synonymous with T. 

 stamens is, Fau v., but not being certain from the description 

 I have thought it advisable to treat it as new. 



5. Trogophloeus (s. str.) silveslris, n. sp. 



Black, moderately shining; fore-parts densely, finely punctured; 

 thorax transversely impressed before the base and with four other 

 impressions on the disc; antennae slender, the first three joints, 

 legs and mouth-parts testaceous. Length 2 mm. 



Facies of T. indicus, Kr., but much smaller and with prominent 

 temples. Head large, transverse, subtriangular ; temples smaller 

 than the diameter of the eyes, rather prominent; front with a short 

 impression within the antennal tuberosity on either side ; vertex 

 with a small fovea on either side of middle line; densely, finely
