parts, legs and antennae testaceous, the intermediate joints of the 

 latter more or less infuscate. Elytra impunctate on the disc. 

 Length 1-6 mm. 



In size, colour and build very similar to Termophilu lafebricola 

 Lea, of Australia, the sides of the elytra are, however, distinctly 

 punctured in the present species. Head concealed by the thorax 

 up to the jjosterior borders of the eyes, which are large but not 

 prominent, impunctate and glabrous. Antennae compact, setose, 

 the 1st joint short and stout, the 2nd and 3rd subequal, longer than 

 the 1st, the 4th to the 8th a little longer than broad, gradually 

 decreasing in length, 9tli and 10th as long as broad, the 11th elongate, 

 pointed, about as long as the two preceding together. Thorax 

 strongly transverse, widest at the middle, the sides equally naiTOwed 

 and rounded anteriorly and posteriorly, margined, passing insensibly 

 into the base, impunctate and glabrous except for a few setiferous 

 punctures on the disc and towards the sides. Elytra as long as, 

 out narrower than, the thorax, transverse, obliquely truncate 

 jiosteriorly, the disc glabrous and impunctate, the sides and postero- 

 external angles finely and modeiately closely punctured and 

 pubescent, the sides of the disc with a few fine erect setae. Abdomen 

 narrowed posteriorly, deeply margined, finely and moderately 

 closely punctured, pubescence rather long and rather coarse, inter- 

 spersed with erect setae, the sides and ajjex finely setose. Inter- 

 mediate and posterior tibiae with several long setae ; tarsi pointed. 



Hab. Associated with a wood-dwelling Termite. Wood- 

 lands. 



81. Hetairotermes piceus, n. sp. 



Shining, pitchy; mouth- parts, legs and antennae testaceous. 

 Elytra uniformly iiunctured. Length 1-6 mm. 



Very similar to the preceding, but of uniform pitchy-black colour, 

 the antennae with the inteimediate joints scarcely infuscate and a 

 little longer, and with the 11th scarcely longer than the 10th. The 

 elytra are a little longer and uniformly but very sparingly covered 

 with fine setiferous punctures. 



Hab. With a wood-dwellinc; Termite, Bukit Timah. 



PSEUDATHETA, n. gen. 



Labrum transverse, the anterior angles rounded. Mandibles 

 rather stout, curved, pointed, the right with a distinct tooth on 

 inner margin. Maxillary palpi 4-jointed, the 1st joint small, 2nd
