New Species of SlapJf'j/h'nidae from Singajwre. 271 



as long as but at tlio extremity broader than the 2nd, the 4tli small 

 subulate. The tongue moderately broad, bifid to the middle into 

 two teat-shaped lobes. Paraglossae distinct ciliate, not extending 

 beyond the tongue. Labial palpi 3-jointed, 1st joint rather short 

 and stout, obliquely truncate at apex, the 2nd about as long as, 

 but narrower than the 1st and indistinctly separated therefrom, 

 the 3rd longer and narrower than the 2nd, cyhndrical. Inner lobe 

 of the maxilla narrow, pectinate internally; outer lobe broader, 

 ciliate-plumose at apex. Mandibles rather stout, curved, the right 

 with a tooth on the inner margin and crenulate between this and 

 the apex, both with a ciliate membrane. Gular sutures divergent 

 jiosteriorly. Temples bordered below. Prosternum obtusely emargi- 

 nate posteriorly ; mesosternal process narrow and pointed, the inter- 

 mediate coxae very narrowly separated. Tibiae ciliate; tarsi 

 slender, pointed, formula 4, 5, 5; the 1st pair with the first three 

 joints short, equal, the 4th as long as the three preceding together; 

 the 2nd pair with the first four joints moderately elongate, equal, 

 the 5th nearly as long as the three preceding together ; the 3rd pair 

 with the 1st joint elongate, nearly as long as the last, twice the 

 length of the 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of equal length. Elytra not 

 sinuate at the postero- external angle, the epipleurae complete. 

 Thorax broader than the elytra, the posterior angles produced, the 

 base bordered and bisinuate. 



134. Fenyesia nigra, n. sp. 



Black, shining, robust, convex; last two joints of the antennae 

 and legs testaceous, the femora infuscate. Length 2 mm. 



A broad robust little species with strongly transverse thorax 

 (which is broader than the elytra) and somewhat pointed abdomen. 

 Head large transverse concealed in the thorax nearly to the eyes 

 which are moderate in size and not prominent; puncturation very 

 fine, moderately close, finely pubescent. Antennae slender, pitchy, 

 the last two joints testaceous, the 2nd and 3rd joints of equal length, 

 the 4th to the 7th longer than broad, gradually decreasing in length, 

 the Sth to the 10th as long as broad, the 11th rather large, oblong- 

 oval, about as long as the two preceding together. Thorax strongly 

 transverse, more than twice as broad as long, widest just behind the 

 middle, the sides evenly rounded and contracted anterioily, but 

 less strongly posteriorly, posterior angles acute and produced, the 

 base bordered and deeply bisinuate, very finely, uniformly and rather 

 closely punctured, pubescence fine and ashy. Elytra as long as, 

 but narrower than the thorax, transverse, puncturation and pubes- 

 cence as on the thorax but rather coarser. Abdomen narrowed
