270 On a new Oenus of Ruteline Coleoptera. 



The inner front claw is very broad and sharply angulated at 

 its lower edge. 



The single specimen was presented to the British Museum 

 in 1861 by Mr. Walhouse, of the Madras Civil Service. 



Micranomala cingalensis, sp. n. 



Pallide testacea, capite tarsisque rufis ; clypeo minutissime alufcaceo- 

 punctulato, punctis nonuuUis inconspicuis paulo majoribus, 

 margine antico leviter emarginato, angulis obtusis, fronte haud 

 impressa, minute et parce punctata ; prothorace distincte, fere 

 sequaliter puuctato, latcribus antice arcuatis, posticerectis ; scutello 

 punctato ; elytris profuude striato-punctatis, interstitiis angustis, 

 fere sequalibus ; pygidio et metasterno sat fortiter et crebre

Long. 7 mm. ; lat. max. 3-5 mm. 



Hub. Ceylon : Colombo. 



This species, of wliicli a single female has been found by 

 Mr. E. E. Green, is of the same colour, size, and shape as 

 M. indica, but the clypeus and forehead are scarcely percep- 

 tibly punctured and the latter is not impressed. The sides 

 of the pronotum are rounded in front and not distinctly 

 angulated in the middle. The sculpture of pronotum, 

 scutellum, elytra, and lower surface is almost the same as in 

 M. indica, but the pygidium is rather more closely punctured. 

 The front tibia has two acute teeth and an extremely feeble 

 upper one.

 punctato, lateribus contractis, fere rectis, margine antico fere 

 recto, angulis obtusis, froute haud impi'essa, distincte haud dense 

 punctata ; pronoto modice punctato, medio magis dense punctate, 

 leviter longitudinaliter sulcato, lateribus medio subangulatis, 

 antice et postice fere rectis, a3qualiter approxiraatis, angulis 

 anticis acutis, posticis obtusis ; scutello punctato ; elytris fortiter 

 fere sequaliter striato-punctatis ; pygidio et metasterno fortiter

Although a little smaller this species is superficially ex- 

 tremely like the other two. The clypeus is very smooth and 

 shining, without perceptible punctures. The lateral margins 

 are prominent at the base and from there nearly straight, 

 and the front margin is nearly straight in the middle, with a
