smooth. Thorax rather flat, rounded at the sides, truncate behind, 

 and rugose on the back, especially near the base, with the median 

 line slight and not reaching to the base, and the posterior im- 

 pressions broad and rather deep. Elytra flat and distinctly but 

 not deeply striated, with the interstices broad and flat, and with 

 five or six punctures on the third interstice, and one on the fifth 

 near the apex. The abbreviated sutural striae are longer than in 

 H. Gayndahensis, the species to which it most appi'oximates. 

 The legs and the parts of the mouth are light red.

Length 2f lines. 

 More convex than the species last described, but not so much 

 so as H. convexiusculus ; of a nitid greenish black colour, with 

 yellow legs and palpi. Head broad and smooth. Thorax with 

 a very narrow reddish margin, the median line only marked in 

 the middle, the posterior impressions deeply marked but small, 

 and the sides moderately rounded. The elytra are deeply but 

 narrowly striated, with the interstices broad and flat. There is a 

 small puncture on the third interstice near the apex, and the 

 abbreviated sutural striaa are short, and seem to take their rise 

 from the extremity of the second strife. The legs are more than 

 usually armed with short spiniform hairs. 



100. — Stenolophus politus. n. sp. 

 Length 2| lines. 

 Black and nitid. Head rugosely impressed on each side 

 before the eyes. Thorax nearly square, slightly rounded at the 

 sides which have a narrow red margin, and broadly impressed 

 and slightly rugose near the base on each side of the median line 

 which is very lightly marked. Elytra lightly striated, — the 

 interstices flat and broad, — with an obscure spot on the shoulder, 

 a narrow lateral margin enlarged towards the apex, and a narrow 

 edging on the apical half of the suture, of a yellowish red. The 

 legs are of a light red with the apices of the thighs, tibiae, and 

 tarsi, dark brown. The antennas and palpi are of a brownish red.
