32 j\Ii*. David Sharp on the 



cato ; abdomine obsolete cinereo-variegato, Indistincteqne 

 bifariam nigro-maculato. Loiio;. 10 lin. 



Mas, abdomine segmento 7" ventrali apice (ramus late) 

 exciso, ante excisionem leviter longitudinaliter irapresso ; 

 segmento 6° medio macula triangular! dense nigro- 

 pubescente, margine posteriore leviter emarginato. 



This species is closely allied to »S'. inornatus. It differs 

 therefrom as follows. It is rather smaller, but distinctly nar- 

 rower, and the front parts have a distinct brassy tinge ; 

 the pubescence of the front parts is of a more rusty colour; 

 the clypeus is scarcely emarginate in front ; the hind body 

 has some scanty pale hairs, forming, with the black spots, 

 an obsolete pattern on the upper surface ; the tibi^ are 

 paler in colour. The male is remarkable from the patch 

 of dense, black, elongate, and subdepressed pubescence in 

 the middle of the underside of the 6th segment of the 

 hind body. 



Mr. Lewis has foimd but one single individual of this 

 species, but I have received two others from another 

 source. 



In a pathway at Nagasaki, 1865. 



61. Goerius carinatus,\\. sp. Niger, pedibus elytrisque 

 ferrugineis, his thorace multo brevioribus ; thorace elongato, 

 cumque capite dense punctato, subtiliter carinulato ; ab- 

 domine segmentis 6*^ 7°que apicem versus ferrugineis. 

 Long. 11 lin. 



Allied to G. olens, but narroAver, with longer thorax, 

 &c. Antennae shorter than in olens, but similarly formed, 

 the 1 st joint da,rk reddish. Head as broad as the thorax ; 

 all its hind part very densely punctured ; the front part 

 more sparingly punctured, and therefore a little shining ; 

 the middle with a very fine smooth line. Thorax longer 

 than broad, very densely punctured, Avith a fine carina- 

 like line along the middle. Elytra dull reddish, clothed 

 with a fulvous pubescence, densely punctured. Hind 

 body rather closely and very finely piuictured ; the 6th 

 and 7th segments reddish behind. Legs reddish, anterior 

 tibiffi with ten or twelve stout spines (besides those arming 

 the extremity). 



The only specimen I have seen is probably abraded, 

 and it is likely that good specimens Avould have the head 

 and thorax clotlied with tomentum.
