Classificalion of the Coleoylerous fainily Endomychidac. 61 



This has the colonitiou and pabtorii of Slenolarsus 

 femoralis, which also occurs in Java. It is of similar 

 size and shape, being more rounded in outline and more 

 convex than any of the species of Cliondria just described. 

 It is easily distinguishable from S. femoralis by the well- 

 marked striae upon the elytra. The pubescence upon the 

 upper surface is similar. The antennae are a little less 

 slender, the club equally long, but the joints preceding 

 it more short and compact. The base of the pronotum 

 has a fine stria very close to the margin. 



Chondria globulosa, sp. n, 



Tota fusco-rufa, sat dense giiseo-pubescens; bieviter ovalis, fere 

 globulosa, pronoti medio convexo, nitido, subtiliter parce punc- 

 tulato et hirsute, lateribus regulariter arcuatis, serratis, margiuibus 

 sat latis, basi fortiter sulcato, suleo a maigine niodice distanti; 

 elytris regulariter seriato-punctatis, interstitiis subtilissime punc- 

 tulatis ; pedibus antennisque baud gracilibus, baruin articulis 2°-8° 

 globosis, compactis, 9° et 10° brevibus, 11° ad duos praecedentes 

 longitudine aequali. 



Long. 25 mm.; lat. max. 1-5 mm. 



Hab. Borneo, Sarawak : Mt. Matang^ {G. E. Bryant, 

 Feb.). 



This little species is about the size of C. lutea, but nuich 

 shorter and more globular in shape, dark-coloured and 

 clothed with shorter pubescence, which however is less 

 fine than in C. ovalis. The sides of the prothorax are 

 regularly rounded and slightly serrated and the lateral 

 margins broad and parallel. The discoidal part of the 

 pronotum is strongly convex and deeply excavated at 

 the sides and the basal stria is deep and not very close to 

 the basal margin. The elytra are regvdarly punctured in 

 rows. The legs and antennae are rather stout, the club 

 of the latter nearly as long as the footstalk. 



Chondria nitida, sp. n. (Plate I, fig. 5.) 



Omnino castanea, nitida, postice breviter fulvo-setosa, modice 

 elongata, fere oblonga ; pronoti lateribus antice fortiter arcuatis, 

 postice rectis, parallelis, marginibus antice latissimis, postice valde 

 attenuatis, basi prof unde sulcato ; elytris leviter seriato-punctatis ; 

 antennis graciUbus, longitudine ad elytrorum longitudinem fere
