 Long, 2*5-3 mm. ; lat. max. 2-2'5 mm. 



Hah. Java; Malay Peninsula: Perak (W. Doherfy). 



Although the tooth behind the middle of the hind femora 

 is probably a feature of the male, it is present in all the 

 four specimens I have seen. 



The species is very short and globose in form, with a 

 large black patch in the middle of the pronotum and of 

 each elytron. It is closely and finely punctured, pubescent 

 and not very shining and the elytra have no distinct 

 rows of punctures. The lateral margins of the pronotum 

 are very broad and little contracted behind and the base 

 is lobed, the lobe cut off by a nearly straight impressed 

 stria. The antennae are long and slender and the club 

 loosely jointed, with a very long terminal joint. 



S. litumtus Gerst., the only other known species of the 

 genus from Java, is a larger insect, with striate elytra and 

 reduced black marking. 



Genus Chondria. 



Gorham was quite wrong in describing this genus as 

 more closely allied to Symhioies than to Sienotarsus. The 

 tarsi are not, as he says, quite simple, but are entirely unlike 

 those of Symbiotes, of which the first three joints are 

 short and of nearly equal size. In Chondria, the first is 

 elongate, the second produced, much less than in Steno- 

 torsus but beyond the third joint, which is very small 

 and inconspicuous. Everything else is as in Sfenofarsus, 

 of which it is therefore only a rather simphfied, perhaps 

 degenerate, form. The production of the second joint is 

 more apparent in the hind feet than in the anterior ones. 

 Cziki, in Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung, iii, 1905, p. 573, has 

 actually described the second joint as long and bilobed, 

 from which it is evident that he does not know the genus. 

 Only a single species has been known hitherto, but several 

 more are described here, each represented only by a single 

 specimen.
