fine, not reaching extremities, transverse impressions obsolete, 

 basal foveas short and narrow, hardly breaking the general 

 convexity, distant from base, rather nearer margin than 

 middle ; surface coarsely, confluently, and uniformly punctate. 



Elytra oval, convex, widest behind middle, half as wide 

 again as prothorax and three times as long, border forming 

 an angle at shoulder, punctate-striate, the punctures very 

 fine and close together, the first stria arising from an umbili- 

 cate pore at some distance from base, the whole surface 

 finely, closely, and uniformly punctate, with a short greyish 

 pubescence. 



Underside shiny and iridescent, sterna and episterna 

 coarsely but not closely punctate, sides of ventral surface 

 more finely and sparsely, prosternal process very finely 

 bordered with some sefse at apex, tnetepisterna without ex- 

 ternal groove, a little longer than wide. Front femora (^ ) 

 without tooth ; upper surface of tarsi minutely and very 

 sparsely setose. 



The species belongs to the group of which C. chlorodius, 

 Dej., is the type, but, although the elytra are relatively 

 longer, the form is more that of G. opacipennts, Chaud. It 

 is widely distinguished from all other members of the group 

 by the dense puncturation of both prothorax and elytra, also 

 by the rounded hind angles of the former. 



A single <$ specimen from the Colombo Museum, sent to 

 me some years ago by Mr. G. M. Henry, after whom I have 

 named it. There is no locality-label, but I understand that 

 the specimen was taken in Ceylon. 



Chlcenius bingkami, ? . 



Length 12*0 mm. ; width 5"0 mm. 



Buff-coloured ; basal two-fifths of elytra, together with an 

 extension, in the form of a square patch over the first four 

 intervals, to about a third from apex, and apex of mandibles 

 black ; apex of palpi and an ill-defined area near apex of 

 elytra inluscate. 



Head (2*25 mm. wide) convex, shiny, smooth, apart from 

 some very minute punctures on neck and sides of front, 

 frontal foveas fairly deep, eyes prominent, labium truncate, 

 joint 3 of antennas very sparsely pilose, equal to 4. 



Prothorax transverse (3'25x 2*50 mm.), shiny, convex on 

 disk, widest before middle, extremities truncate, sides of base 

 advancing towards hind angles, sides with a fine border, 

 slightly reflexed, strongly rounded in front, sinuate near hind
