 punctatus, prothorace quam longitudinem paulo latiore, latcribus 

 bisinuatis, angulis posticis vix acutis, basi baud lato, clytris fortiter 

 convexis :

 9° magno, inftato, subtus Icviter concavo; pedibus crassis, pallidis,

Hob. S. E. Borneo : Martapiira {Doherty). 



This is rather smaller and more o;raceful and taperinji in 

 shape than H. servilis, as well as more finely pnnctured. 



The antennae and legs are rather stout, the 3rd to 8th 

 joints of the former beino- short and compact, the 9th 

 large, shortly oval and slightly excavated beneath, the 10th 

 small, transvei'sely triangular, and the 11th shortly oval. 

 The middle and hind tibiae are dilated beyond the base, 

 the latter about as wide as the femora (see page 41, 

 fig. 9). The entire surface, including the antennae and legs, 

 is clothed with a fine yellowish-grey jjubescence. 



A second male specimen from Perak appears to belong 

 to the same species. 



Genus ArnoRTSTA. 

 A. himmilis Gorh., is synonymous with A. morom Tioc. 



Genus Epipocus. 

 The Central American species of Ejn'pocus have been 

 greatly confused by Gorham, jmrtly owing to his having 

 failed to correctly distinguish the sexes, and his grouping 

 of them according to the shape of the tips of the elytra 

 is misleading. This feature varies to a greater or less 

 extent according to the sex. Thus, although E. hivilfafns 

 is grouped by him as a species with the apex of the el}'i.ra 

 rounded and the male is said to differ from, the female only 

 in having a minute tooth near the apex of the front tibia, 

 he has figured a male showing no tibial tooth (which is very 

 distinct but at a distance from the apex), but correctly 

 representing the extremities of the elytra as trmicated 

 and sharply pointed. The sexes can be distinguished vnth
