Oblong, somewhat depressed, black and shining ; the head, 

 mentura relatively rather small, with a linear tubercle^ surface 

 slightly uneven, ocular tubercle rather small and obtuse, 

 mandibles each with a small tooth near the middle of the 

 inner edge, labrum bilobed ; the thorax, marginal stria rather 

 fine and terminating at the anterior angle, laterally there is a 

 rather broad band of punctures not closely set but clear; the 

 elytra, the marginal fossette is rather deep, 1 dorsal stria 

 complete witn the apical end bent inwards, 2 dorsal basal and 

 not quite one-third in length of the first, but well marked, 3 

 very short ; the propygidium is thinly punctured, the points 

 on the sides are somewhat large, gradually becoming smaller 

 to the disk; the pygidium is very densely punctured; the 

 anterior tibia? are 4-dentate. 



The exceptional characters of this small species are the 

 toothed mandibles and the complete first dorsal stria. 



Hub. Nepal, Central India. One male example. 



Trypanceus terebrans, sp. n. 



Cylindricus, elongatus, riiger, nitidus ; fronte bisulcata, bispinosa, 

 rostro apice modice reflexo ; pronoto autice bituberculato ; pro- 

 sterno marginato ; mesosterno stria marginali antice interrupta ; 

 tibiis anticis 5-dentatis. 



L. 7| mill. 



Cylindrical, elongate, black and shining; the head, fore- 

 head bisulcate, sulci parallel to each other, with a well-marked 

 carina between them, rostrum a little reflexed apically, point 

 not very acute, ocular tubercles strong and somewhat obtuse; 

 the thorax is impressed at the anterior angles and the surface 

 evenly and sparingly punctulate, near the edge behind the 

 middle of the neck are two tubercles which are somewhat 

 obtuse and join by the widening out of their bases; the 

 elytra are similarly punctulate; the pygidia are evenly and 

 somewhat closely punctate; the prosternum, the keel is 

 marginate laterally and the striae gradually meet anteriorly ; 

 the mesosternum is marginate at the sides, but the striae are 

 interrupted behind the keel of the prosternum, the surfaces of 

 the sterna are sparingly and rather obsoletely punctured; 

 the metasternum has a median furrow ; the anterior tibiae are 

 5-dentate. 



This is the largest species known of which the male has a 

 conspicuous ocular tubercle ; the other species are unituber- 

 culains, bispinus, and spiniyer, Mars., bimaculalics, Er., ros-
