78 Mr. n. W. Bates on Geodephagous 



Of rather narrow oblong form, the elongate thorax as wide 

 in front as the elytra, its hind angles rounded off, and its base 

 fitting into the deeply sinuated base of the elytra. The elytra 

 have a strong satiny gloss and the stride are deeply and 

 broadly incised, the rows of setiferous punctures crenulating 

 the edges of the second, fourth, and sixth stria?, and the ninth 

 interstice being rather closely punctured throughout. The 

 humeral angles are very acute and prominent, but form no 

 dentiform projection. The slender tarsi are not grooved on 

 the sides.

Bogawantalawa, April 1st. 



Undoubtedly congeneric with G. maculatusy but less elon- 

 gate, and the elytra less arcuated at the base and immaculate, 

 black, with a strong satiny gloss. The species in facies is 

 less like a Calathus^ and resembles more the slenderer forms 

 of Harpalinse. 



Subfamily Stenolofrinm, 



Anoplogenius microgonus. 



A. circumcincto brevior, niger nitidus, subtus sordide rufo-testaceus ; 

 elytris viridescentibus laete sericeo-mieantibus, margine inflexo 

 testaceo ; palpis pedibusque flavo-testaceis ; antennis piceis basi 

 pallidioribus ; thorace breviter cordato-quadrato, augulis posticis 

 minutia, exstantibus, margine laterali testaceo, fovea utrinque 

 lata et vage punctulata. 



Long. 7 millim. 



Colombo. Also in Siam, of larger size — 9 millim. 



The absence of the scutellar striole brings this species 

 within the definition of the genus Anoplogenius^ but the fourth 

 joint of the four anterior tarsi in the male is not bilobed, as 

 in that genus, the lobes of the anterior tarsi being short and 

 broad, and in the intermediate the joint is rather cordate than 

 bilobed. The palpi have their terminal joints subcylindrical 

 and truncated, and the frontal linear fovea? are sunk in large 

 depressions, as in AnojAogenius circumcinctus. The elytral 

 stride are impunctate and sharply incised, the interstices flat 

 and more convex at the apex, near which the elytral margin 

 is moderately sinuated.
