gent behind. Temjiley strongly bordered below. Neck broad, the 

 temples constricted behind. Prosternum long, carinate ; niesosternal 

 process extending for half the length of the intermediate coxae, 

 truncate, the coxae moderately separated; metasternal process 

 truncate meeting the mesosternum. Elytra not sinuate. Tarsal 

 formula 3, 4, 4 ; the anterior pair with the first two joints short and 

 subequal, the 3rd longer than the two preceding together; middle 

 pair with the 1st joint moderately long, the 2nd and 3rd short, and 

 subequal, the 4th nearly as long as the three preceding together; 

 posterior pair with the 1st joint moderately long, the 2nd and 3rd 

 subequal, shorter than the 1st, the 4th nearly as long as the three 

 preceding together. Abdomen strongly constricted at the base 

 and dilated posteriorly. The third to the fifth dorsal segments 

 lightly imj^ressed transversely at the bases. Thorax strongly 

 contracted before the base, the sides dilated and rounded anteriorly, 

 the posterior angles rectangular, prominent. 



This genus would appear to be closely related to Enstenia 

 and Falagria, yet is at once separated from both by the 

 structure of the tarsi. The broad neck and build of the 

 temples is very similar to that of Trogophloeus, the temples 

 being constricted behind the eyes, but the antennae are 

 freely inserted in front of the eyes, the gular sutures are 

 distinct and widely separated and the structure of the pro- 

 sternum and anterior coxae indicate the position of the genus 

 as being in the Aleocharinae. 



113. Eusteniamorpha rufa, n. sp. 



Rufo-castaneous, moderately shining, the sixth abdominal 

 segment pitch-black. Antennae mouth-jjarts and legs reddish- 

 testaceous. Length 2 mm. 



Eyes moderate, rather prominent, their diameter of the length of 

 the temples, which are convergent posteriorly and but slightly 

 rounded, the neck broad ; the front smooth and shining, the posterior 

 and lateral portions finely, superficially and rather closely punctured ; 

 pubescence fine, scanty and yellow. Antennae with the 1st joint 

 a little shorter and stouter than the 2nd, the 3rd a little shorter than 

 the preceding, the 4th to the 6th longer than broad, gradually 

 decreasing in length, the 7tli to the 9th as long as broad, the 10th 

 very slightly transverse, the 11th elongate pointed, as long as the 

 two preceding together. Thorax broader than the head, as long as 

 tlie breadth at the widest part, strongly constricted at the base, 

 the sides much dilated and rounded anteriorly, the disc sulcate 

 throughout nearly the whole length in the middle, the sulcus wider
