very slightly convex. Body beneath and legs fulvous. Prosternum 

 broad, anterior margin produced, ridge-shaped. Last abdominal 

 segment of female with a deep oblong fovea that occupies the 

 whole of the middle. 



Letigtli 1^ mm. 



Hub. Tenasserim: Tavoy (Coll. Brit. Mus.}. 



Differs from 0. bui-manicus, Jac., in the sulcus of thorax, which 

 extends across the entire disc, in the shorter antennae and the 

 entirely fulvous underside, also in the generally smaller size of the 

 insect. 



321. Ccenobius nigripes, sp. n. 



5 . Black ; head with a few punctures, basal two or three joints 

 of antennae fulvous, rest black, terminal six moderately thickened. 

 Thorax very shining, posterior margin with a deep row of elongate 

 punctures, rest of surface entirely impunctate. Elytra with deep 

 longitudinal stria3, the striae studded with rather fine punctures, 

 inner interstices feebly, outer strongly, costate. Sides of breast 

 with a double row of punctures, middle portion and first abdominal 

 segment more closely punctured, last segment with deep elongate 

 fovea. 



Length 2 mm. 



Hob. Travancore: Wallardi (Coll. Jacoby); Nilgiris (Coil. H. E. 

 Andrewes). 



Differs from its allies in the entirely black colour of the legs, 

 the deep and elongate punctures at base of thorax and the absence 

 of a groove on the latter. 



322. Ccenobius dorsalis, Weise, Deut. ent. Zeit. 1903, p. 33. 



Black ; antennae piceous, basal five joints and the legs testa- 

 ceous, intermediate and posterior femora fuscous. 



Head longitudinally strigose at vertex. Thorax distinctly 

 punctured at middle, nearly smooth and impressed with a sinuate 

 groove near the lateral margins. Elytra punctate-striate, the 

 interstices convex, nearly smooth. Sides of metasternum punctured 

 in a single row. 



Length 2 mm.

323. Ccenobius lateralis, Weise, Deut. ent. Zeit. 1903, p. 34. 



Black ; labrum, antennae and legs testaceous. 



Thorax nearly impuuctate at middle, strongly punctured at sides. 

 Elytra punctate-striate, interstices convex, nearly smooth. 



Length 1*5 mm. 



Hob. Bengal : Manda ; Xilgiris. Ceylon : Kandy, Puttalam. 



The lighter-coloured antennae and legs, the want of the thoracic 

 grooves at sides, and its different puncturation separate this
