costate, shoulders prominent, smooth. Prosternum strongly 

 punctured. Sides of breast with a fine double row of punctures. 



Length 1| mm. 



Hob. Nilgiris ( //. L. Andreives}. 



Verv nearly allied to C. iiisulai'is and C. la'vicollis, but with 

 entirely flavous antennae and legs, basal margins of elytra not 

 carinate as in the last-named species. 



331. Ccenobius integris, sp. D. 



Head, basal joints of antennae, thorax and legs flavous ; elytra 

 black. 



Head with a few'fine punctures at lower portion; eyes contiguous 

 at top ; antennae black, not extending to middle of elytra, basal 

 five joints fiavous, third and fourth equal, terminal joints slightly 

 thickened. Thorax strongly transverse, the basal twice the width 

 of the anterior margin ; surface impunctate, with a transverse 

 groove at middle that extends across the entire disc, deeper at the 

 sides than in the middle, extreme basal margin sometimes black. 

 Scutellum narrowly elongate, black. Elytra broadly subquadrate, 

 slightly narrowed at apex, with closely punctured stria?, distinct 

 to apex, interstices flat, impunctate. Prosternum broad, sub- 

 quadrate. Breast sparingly, sides closely, punctured. 



Length 21 mm. 



Hob. Xilgiris (H. L. Anflreives.) 



Larger than C. burnianicus, Jac., the thoracic sulcus entire : 

 separated from C. seminigris, Jac. by the black underside and 

 larger size. 



332. Ccenobius variegatus, sp. n. 



Thorax more or less black and flavous ; basal joints of antennae 



fulvous, others black ; elytra testaceous, marked with black at base 



and suture ; below black, legs fulvous. 



Head not perceptibly punctured, black ; 

 eyes joined at the top ; antenna? extending 

 to middle of elytra, basal five joints fulvous, 

 rest black, terminal five joints strongly 

 triangularly 'thickened. Thorax nearly 

 twice as broad as long, sides rounded, disc 

 with a faint transverse groove at sides ; 

 black, the base more or less stained with
