external angles; the first three joints of the antennae and the legs 

 testaceous. Length 2-4 mm. 



Of the same coloration as C. pundicollis Kr., but narrower, the 

 thorax especially being much less widened anteriorly and con- 

 siderably less shining. Head subpentagonal, the temples con- 

 vergent posteriorly in a straight line, the eyes large and prominent, 

 the disc foveate in the middle, closely and coarsely punctiu'ed, the 

 l^uuctures obscurely umbilicate. Antennae Avith the 2nd and 3rd 

 joints rather short and subequal, the 4th to the 10th transverse 

 gradually increasing in breadth, the penultimate three times aa 

 broad as long, the 11th stout, conical. Thorax slightly transverse, 

 widest at the middle, the sides gently rounded and narrowed an- 

 teriorly, more strongly narrowed posteriorly in a nearly straight 

 line to the obtuse posterior angles and furnished with two or three 

 moderately long setae; disc with a horseslioe- shaped impression 

 with concavity forwards; puncturation as on the head. Elytra 

 longer and broader than the thorax, square; puncturation about 

 the same size as that of the thorax, but not so deep and scarcely 

 so close, finely pubescent. Abdomen moderately, finely and 

 moderately closely punctured anteriorly, more sparingly posteriorly, 

 finely pubescent. 



J. Seventh dorsal segment with a small tubercle before the 

 posterior margin in the middle line ; eighth dorsal segment with a 

 triangular tooth on either side, separated by a triangular notch 

 from the broadly truncate median poition of the segment. 



Hab. In debris, Sembawang. 



97. Coenonica strictlcollis, ii. sp. 



Moderately shining, head black, thorax pitchy-red, strongly con- 

 tracted towards the base, elytra testaceous, abdomen pitchy- 

 testaceous. Length 2 nun. 



Head subpentagonal, the eyes large and rather prominent, the 

 temples convergent posteriorly; disc impressed rather broadly, 

 coarsely and closely punctured, the punctures obscurely umbilicate, 

 finely pubescent. Antennae reddish- testaceous, the first three 

 joints paler, the 4th to the 10th transverse, gradually increasing in 

 breadth, the penultimate nearly three times as broad as long, the 

 11th elongate, oval, pointed as long as the three preceding together. 

 Thorax transverse, one-third broader than long, widest at the 

 middle, the sides rounded and contracted anteriorly, more strongly 

 contracted and sinuate posteriorly to the obtuse and somewhat 

 prominent posterior angles ; disc with a horseshoe-shaped impression 

 posteriorly, and another rather deep oval one anteriorly in the
