Anoplogenius renitens. 



A. microgono proxime affinis, angustior et differt thorace angulia 

 posticis rotundatis palpisque apice obtusis nee truncatis. Supra 

 totus sericco-micans, thorace et elytris coloribus aiireo- et viridi- 

 relucentibus, limbo laterali vage fusco-testaceo ; thorace relative 

 angustiori quadrato, postice angustato, angulis posticis valde ob- 

 tusis, rotundatis; pedibus flavo-testaceis, tibiis paulo obscurioribus ; 

 caeteris sicut in A. microgono. 



Long. 6|-7 millim. 



Colombo. 



Lejnthrix foh'olosus, Nietner, wlilcli belongs also to 

 the genus Anoploqe?iius, has rounded hind angles to the 

 thorax, but it is a larger insect, dark brown, with the margins 

 of the thorax and elytra testaceous. 



Stenolophus poly genus. 



Anguste oblongus, nitidus subcyaneo-relucens ; palpis, antennis basi 

 (reliquis fuscis) pedibusque flavo-testaceis ; foveis frontalibus late 

 impressis lineaque curvata usque ad oculum ; thorace relative parvo 

 postice angustato angulis posticis obtusis, foveis latis basalibus 

 laevibus ; elytris parallelis, profunde striatis apice obtusis parum 

 sinuatis. 



Long, 7 millim, 



Nuwara Eliya. 



A narrow species unlike any other Stenoloplms known to 

 me ; but it agrees with this genus better than with any of its 

 allies, the fourth joint of the two anterior tarsi of the males 

 being narrowly bilobed and the raentum without tooth. The 

 male tarsi are, however, only very narrowly dilated, the intei-- 

 mediate pair scarce perceptibly so, though having the usual 

 hair-scales on the sides of the second to fourth joints, the 

 fourth triangular and scarcely lobed. The head is of tlie 

 same form as in Anoplogenius circumcinctus^ the eyes bein^i* 

 prominent and the frontal fovea? very broadly impressed. 

 The terminal joints of the palpi taper to the apex, Avhich is 

 briefly truncated. The elytra have a well-developed scutellar 

 striole and the prosternum has three bristles at its apex. 



Stenolophus 5-pustulatus. 



Badister 5-pustulatus, Wiedemann, Zool. Mag. ii. i. p. 58. 



Colombo. 



A variable species with regard to the number of red spots 

 on the elytra. None of the Ceylonese examples have five 

 well-defined spots ; in some the posterior discoidal spot is 

 wanting, but this variety occurs with the typical form also in
