more densely pubescent, and the base has a deeply incised 

 stria, which is rather distant from the margin in the middle 

 but almost touches it at the lateral foveae. The elytra 

 are finely and uniformly punctured, without longitudinal 

 lines, and their lateral margins are narrowly reflexed. 

 The antennae are rather more slender than those of 

 S. globulus, with their terminal joint pale and the two 

 preceding ones black.

Two specimens were found by Mr. G. E. Bryant in 

 January 1914. 



S. tristis is a very small species of very globular form and 

 dark brown in colour. The legs and antemiae are red, 

 but the two penultimate joints of the latter nearly black. 

 The antennae are short, the last joint shorter than in 

 S. basalis and globulus and the preceding one very short 

 and broad. The puncturation of the upper surface is 

 very fine and close and the pubescence correspondingly 

 finer than in the two allied species. There is a rather 

 indefinite transverse impression, but no sharply incised 

 line (as in S. basalis) before the base of the pronotum, and 

 the lateral margins are a little less broad than in that 

 species and less horizontal, their inner edge being more 

 strongly elevated. 



Stenotarsus femoralis, sp. n. 



Laete rufus, prothoracis medio usque ad basin (sed liaud antice) 

 utriusque elytri medio antennarumque clava nigrie, hujus apice 

 pallido ; rotundatus, convexus, crebrc et minute punctatus, subtiliter 

 pubescens; pronoto brevi, fere semicirculari, angulis omnibus sub- 

 rectis, marginibus latissimis, basi late lobato, stria fere recta 

 profunde inciso ; elytris baud seriato-punctatis ; antennis gracilibus.
