Classification of the Coleoplcrovs famih/ Endowychidae. 55 



Tin's also is evidently very similar to S. birmanicvs 

 Gorh., but with a lonfi;cr antennal chib. It is rather paler 

 in colour than S. mala.yensis, larger and more oval in shape 

 and very finely and densely punctured above, with a 

 clothing of very short, close and regular pubescence. The 

 elytra bear regular lines of fine but larger punctures, which 

 become progressively stronger from the suture to the 

 outer margin, the two outermost lines uniting behind the 

 shoulders and abbreviated behind, and the 3rd and 5th 

 intervals wider than the rest. The black club of the 

 antenna is long, about as long as the entire footstalk, of 

 which joints 2 to 8 are short and close. The terminal 

 joint is little longer than the 9th joint,

A single specimen. 



The species is easily recognisable by its entirely black 

 and rather slender legs and antennae. The upper surface 

 is deep red in colour, a little paler at the sides of the pro- 

 notum, and not very densely clothed with fairly coarse 

 greyish pubescence, scanty upon the middle of the pro- 

 notum, which is smooth and shining. The lateral margins 

 of the latter are strongly elevated, but not wide, and there 

 is a deep basal sulcus or stria close to the margin. The 

 elytra are strongly and irregularly punctured, without 

 distinct lines, moderately broad behind the shoulders and 

 tapering at the apices. The joints of the antennae are 

 all elongate, except the 2nd and 10th, the club not strongly 

 marked and the last joint less than twice as long as wide. 



Stenotarsus globulus, sp. n. 



Fusco-castaneus, pedibus antennisque rufis, barum articulis 2 vel 

 3 penultimis ultimiquc parte basali fuscis; globosus, subnitidus.
