neio species of Endomijcici. 439 



The last segment of the abdomen is angnlarly cut out, 

 which (as well as the differently coloured and much less 

 clavate femora) .yiU prevent its being confounded with 

 Murraiju In neither of these two species is there any 

 hairy ness on the underside of the two last segments. 



i/a^— Java? A single male in my polsession from 

 the collection of Isl. Le Marquis La Ferte Senectere, 

 labelled sanguinipes, Hope. , 



Genus Pedanus, Gerstaecker. 

 Pe (Janus Icevis, n. sp. 



Nigro-piceus, subnitidus, fere h-evis, thorace transversim 

 quadrate lateribus sinuatis : elytris maculis duabus flavis 

 anteriore nee basin nee mai-ginem attino-ente. Lono-. 

 lin. 4, ^. 



Mas, tibiis anticis supra medium dente tenui; intermediis, 

 dente minuto juxta apicem armatis, his apice leviter in- 

 curvato. 



Eather shining, dark pitchy and without any visible 

 punctures. Head with two shallow impressions between 

 the antenna3, the latter rather long, the third joint longer 

 than the two first taken together ; fourth to eighth equal 

 in length, longer than broad; club rather broad, com- 

 pressed and closely articulated. Thorax with the sides 

 rounded from the apex to near the base, Avhere they are 

 constricted immediately before the hind angles, which are 

 slightly turned out and acute. Disc rather convex and 

 almost smooth, with two small punctiform impressions 

 near the middle ; the base finely channelled ; basal sulci 

 fine, commencing in small foveas. Elytra having the 

 humeral callus well pronounced ; the pale-yellow spots 

 smaller than in Gerstaecheri, the anterior one equally dis- 

 tant from the base and the suture and not passing the re- 

 flexed margin outwards ; both spots are a little transverse, 

 apex of the elytra rounded, underside glabrous. 



From ]Mr. Waterhouse's collection. A single specimen, 

 without locality. 



Apparently nearest to P. cjuadrilunatus, Gerst. ; the im- 

 punctate surface of the elytra, which are also pitchy with 

 no trace of a blue tint, as well as the tooth on the front 

 tibiffi, will prevent its being confounded witli that species.
