the epimera. Metathoracic episterna very narrow, acuminate 

 posteriorly. 



$ . Maxillary palpi normal, but with the second joint relatively 

 long. Antennae a little shorter than in the male, and the hind

Varying from cinnamon-brown to dark brown in colour, glossy, 

 sparsely furnished with short, erect, tawny setae. Head and pro- 

 thorax closely, subrugosely punctured, the disc of the prothorax 

 with one or two small, smooth, impunctate spaces. Elytra very 

 strongly punctured; the punctures arranged in more or less 

 regular rows on the outer part of the disc, with narrow sub- 

 costiform intervals between some of the rows; the interstices 

 between the large punctures sparsely covered with minute 

 setigerous punctures. Legs darker at the knees, sometimes 

 entirely dark brown ; hind femora not very much thicker than 

 the front ones, slightly denticulate along each side of the lower 

 face. 



Length 18-25 ; breadth 5-7 mm.

C. hageni, Lansb., from Sumatra, is here given as a synonym on 

 the authority of Van de Poll. 



55. Cyrtonops nigra, sp. n. 



c? . Black and glossy. Head closely rugosely punctured, 

 impressed with a distinct median groove that extends from the 

 clypeus to the occiput. Prothorax closely rugosely punctate, but 

 with a small, smooth, feebly raised tubercle 

 a little in front of the middle of the base. 

 Elytra very strongly punctured, the punctures 

 in more or less regular rows along the disc, 

 somewhat irregularly placed on the sides, the 

 interstices sparsely covered with minute seti- 

 gerous punctures ; each with one or two distinct 

 costse, the inner costa, when present, lying 

 between the second and third rows of punctures, 

 the outer one between the fourth and fifth 

 rows. Hind femora very much thicker than 

 the others and strongly toothed along each 

 side of the lower face. 



This species is readily distinguishable from 

 C. punctipennis, White, by its black colour and the much
