Shanghai ; given me by M. De Rivas. 
Distinguished from all the other species by the great 
relative magnitude of the elytra, which gives the insect a 
facies unlike that of a Harpalide. The punctuation is 
very fine and scattered ; the pubescence covers the whole 
body, legs, antennae and palpi ; the last-mentioned have 
the terminal joint fusiform, and very attenuated towards 
the apex ; the base of this joint in the raaxillaries is black, 
the rest of the palpi being yellowish-tawny. 
Stenolopluis connotatus, n. sp. 
St. discophoro similis. Elongatus, parallelus, testaceo- 
ferrugineus, capite, thoracis medio, vittaque abbreviata 
communi elytrorum (basi attingenti) nigris ; thorace 
transverse, postice angustato, basi utrinque punctato ; ely- 
tris fortiter striatis.

More elongate and parallel-sided than St. discophorus ; 
body beneath always rusty-red ; the middle of the thorax 
black, and the elytral vitta reaching the base, where it 
occupies two interstices, spreading over five in the middle. 
The head is distinctly larger and broader. 
Amblystoynus {Blegaristerus) guttatus, n. sp.

riceo-nitens; antenuarum scapo, palpis, pedibus, elytrisque 
guttis utrinque 2 rotundatis, parvis, flavo-testaceis ; capite 
magno, lato ; thoi'ace transverso, brevi, subhmiforrai, an- 
gulis posticis vix conspicuis ; elytris thorace paulo latiori- 
bus, elongatis, postice paulo dilatatis, apice obtusis ; striis 
dorso fortiter, lateribus minus, impressis, macula prima
