XLI. — Descriptions of 7iew Coleoplera from Hainan Island^ 

 China. By Chas. 0. WaterhouSE, F.E.S. 



The British Museum lias received a small series of Goleo- 

 ptera collected in Hainan Island by the late Mr. J. White- 

 head, whose death we so greatly deplore. 



The following species appear to be undescribed : — 



ParnidaB. 



Parygrus Whiteheadi, sp. n. 



Elongates, bene couvexiis, nltidus, nigro-fuscus, pube brevi fusco 

 vcstitiis ; thorace couvexo, crebre subtiliter piiiictato, autice sat 

 anguslato, hiteribiis subrcctis ; elytris evidcnter striato-puiictatis, 

 iHterstitiis leviter coiivexis, crebre subtilissime punctulatis ; tibiis 

 tarsisque rufo-piceis. 



LoHg. 7 mm. 



This species most nearly resembles P. Tlardwiclci, McL., 

 from Java. It is at once distinguished from P. talpoides, 

 Waterh., by the much more marked striae of the elytra and 

 by its narrower form. It differs from P. IJardicicki in being 

 a trifle broader ; the thorax, instead of being evenly gently 

 arcuate at the sides, has them almost rectilinear in the 

 middle^ then very gently arcuate before the posterior angles, 

 whicli are not so much impressed above as they are in 

 P. Hardwichi. The lines of punctures on the elytra are 

 rather stronger than in P. Ilardwichij the punctures are 

 rather close together, but are rather irregular in size. The 

 interstices are slightly but distinctly convex; the punctuation 

 is very fine and rather close, but not by any means crowded. 

 The tibise and taisi are pitchy red ; the claws long and 

 slender, gently curved.
