pedibus subelongatis, caeruleo-nigris ; episternis anticis longi- 



tudinaliter elevalis. 

 Long. 1^ lin. 

 Hab. Java. 



Head similarly punctured to S. cons'imil'is ; upper portion of the 

 front rather less swollen, its surface more coarsely strigose ; epi- 

 stome rather more closely punctured. Thorax scarcely longer 

 than broad, conic, finely and remotely punctured. Elytra half 

 as long again as the thorax, strongly punctate-striate. Legs 

 longer than in any of the allied species. 



This species may be known from its congeners by the form of 

 the elytra, which are shorter in relation to the thorax than in any 

 other species. 



B. Head not excavated above the eyes ; upper and inner border of 

 the eyes bounded by a sulcate groove. 



7. Stelhoies tarsata, n. sp. 



Elongato-ovata, valde convexa, nigra, nitida, tarsis antennisque 

 piceis, his basi fulvis; thorace conico, disci medio fere im- 

 punctato, ad latera subcrebre punctato ; elytris thorace latiori- 

 bus, postice attenuatis, fortiter punctato-striatis ; episternis 

 anticis longitudinaliter elevalis. 



Long. 1 g lin. 



Hab. New Guinea (Dorey). 



Vertex swollen, obliquely strigose on either side, strigge nitidous, 

 impunctate ; epistome wedge-shaped, deeply punctured ; encarpae 

 smooth, impunctate ; upper and inner border of the eye bounded 

 by a deep groove, which at its lower extremity runs downwards and 

 inwards along the upper border of the encarpa ; labrum fulvous; 

 antennae dark piceous, three lower joints fulvous. Thorax scarcely 

 broader at the base than long, conic, the middle of the disk smooth, 

 nearly impunctate, sides rather closely punctured. Elytra mui h 

 broader than the thorax, tapering from the base towards the apex ; 

 surface strongly punctate-striate.
