 2 {a). Lispinus sharpi, n. sp. 



Pitchy-black, shining. Antennae, legs and apex of tlie abdomen 

 rufo-testaceous. Head, thorax and elytra distinctly punctured, 

 ground-sculpture very obsolete. Length 2-5 mm. 



Of the size and build of L. impressicollis Kr., but darker coloured, 

 much more shining, less depressed, with much more distinct punctura- 

 tion, and much less distinct gi'ovmd-sculpture, lateral impressions 

 of the thorax much less marked and the median impressions scarcely 

 visible. Head with rounded impression on either side of the front, 

 puncturation moderately fine and not very close, ground-sculpture 

 scarcely \Tsible. Antennae with the 3rd joint shorter than the 

 2nd, the 4th as long as the preceding, the 5th as long as broad, 

 the 6th larger than the 5th, shghtly transverse, 7th, 8th and 9th 

 transverse, 10th as long as broad, 11th conical. Thorax more than 

 one-third broader again than long, widest just before the middle, 

 the sides slightly rounded and gradually narroAved anteriorly, con- 

 tracted for the posterior third in a nearly straight line to the obtuse 

 posterior angles, before which on cither side is a narrow, elongate, 

 not very well-marked impression before which is a rather large . 

 puncture; disc very obsoletely imjiressed on either side of the middle 

 line before the base; puncturation moderately fine, much closer on 

 the disc and more scattered towards the sides; ground-sculpture 

 very indistinct. Elytra more than a third as long again as the 

 tliorax, longer than broad, rather more finely and distinctly less 

 closely punctured than the disc of the thorax, ground-sculpture 

 obsolete. Abdomen almost impunctate, distinctly coriaceous. 



Hab. Mandai, under bark. 



16 (a). Pinophilus orientalis, n. sp. 



Black, moderately shining, the head with rather large and 

 moderately close umbilicate puncturation, a triangular space on 

 the front smooth and shining ; thorax and elytra closely punctured. 

 Antennae with the first two joints stout, fusco-testaceous, the rest 

 very slender, testaceous; legs testaceous, the apex of the femoia 

 infuscate. Length 5-75-6-5 mm. 



This species would appear to be closely alUed to P. thoracicvs 

 Fauv., from the description given, but differing in the smaller size 

 and the entirely black elytra. Head more shining than the other 

 parts, the temples not dentiform and scarcely perceptible; the 

 sculpture consisting of large and only moderately close luubilicate
