Hy status javanus. 



J. Thomson, Essai &c., p. 822, 



H. nigricans, aliquando rufo-brunneus ; prothorace in 

 medio nitido, utrinque fortiter punctato. 



Hab. — Sarawak (and Java.) 



Blackish, or sometimes reddish-brown ; head finely and 

 closely punctured ; prothorax glossy in the middle, the 

 sides opaque and very roughly punctured; scutellum 

 transverse, rounded behind; elytra with an exceedingly 

 fine punctuation, the intervals having a delicate granu- 

 late appearance apparently when fresh, opaque, but at 

 the base and on the three raised lines of each elytron 

 somewhat glossy; body beneath more or less shining, 

 dark brown; legs and antennas dark brown. 



Length 19-30 lines. 



Closteein^. 



The large size of the eyes, approximate or contiguous 

 above, and their lower portion embracing the antennas 

 beneath, and feebly separated from the mandibles, seem to 

 be the differentiating characters which separate this sub- 

 family from the nearly -allied Orthostomatince. There are 

 only four genera, two with simple antennre, and two with 

 flabellate or pectinate antennae, but in the males only, 

 {Glosterus and Polyoza) . The only species found by Mr, 

 Wallace belongs to the former category.
