5G Mr. Cilbort J. Arn^w's Contrihntion to the 



undiqiie fulvo-pubesccns, pronoto aoqualitcr mimite et crebre punc • 

 tulato, marginibus lateralibus sat latis, obliquis; elytris convexis. 

 minus subtiliter punctatis, punctis inaeqnalibns, sublinearc ordinatis ; 

 antennis hand longis, articulo 9" globoso, 10° transverse, 11° ovali. 

 Long. 2-5 mm. ; lat. max. 2 mm. 



Hab. Sarawak : Mt. Matang. 



Several specimens were found in January and February 

 by Mr. G. E. Bryant. 



It is a small globular species of dark chestnut colour, 

 with the legs and antennae pale, except the 9th, 10th and 

 the basal half of the last joint of the latter, which are dark. 

 It is entirely clothed above with a yellowish pubescence, 

 which is rather less fine than in the two following species, 

 especially upon the elytra. The pronotum is finely, 

 closely and evenly punctured, with wade lateral margins 

 and without a basal stria. The elytra are rather more 

 coarsely punctured, wdth an indication of alternating 

 longitudinal bands of larger and smaller punctures at the 

 sides. The antennae are a little stouter than in S. basalis, 

 with the 9th joint nearly globular, the 10th rather 

 transverse and the last elongate-oval. 



S. confractns Gorh., from Burma, is evidently very hke 

 this, but the lateral margins of the pronotum are there 

 very narrow.

 flavescentibus, sed barum articulis 9° ct 10° nigris; subglobosus, 

 modice nitidus, ubiqiie subtiUter flavo-sericeus, pronoti marginibus 

 latissimis, subtiliter rugosis, opacis, densius sericcis, extus regulariter 

 arcuatis, angulis anticis prominentibus, disco aequaliter minute et 

 crebre punctato, posticc late lobato, stria basali recta profunda

Hab. Sarawak : Mt. Matang. 



Two specimens were found by Mr. Bryant in December. 



This is another very short and globose species of nearly 

 the same size, shape and colour as the preceding, but a 

 little larger and more elongate. The lateral margins of 

 the pronotum are still broader, flatter, more opaque and
