CHBYSONOPA. 355 



from the face, punctured like the head, anterior border concave- 

 emarginate; palpi flavous, slender, terminal joint pointed ; antennae 

 extending to about middle of elytra, third and fourth joints very 

 elongate, equal, more than twice as long as second, following very 

 slightly thickened and shorter, basal three or four joints fulvous, 

 rest black. Thorax about half as broad again as long (not twice 

 as broad, as originally given), convex, surface punctured like the 

 head, the punctures distant. Elytra about half as long again as 

 broad, deeply depressed below the base, the latter raised, shoulders 

 very prominent ; surface strongly and deeply punctate-striate, 

 punctures below shoulders more irregular and larger, those near 

 apex smaller; interstices smooth. Legs elongate, femora robust, 

 intermediate tibiae emarginate at apex. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hab. Burma : Ruby Mines. 



There does not seem to be much difference between the sexes, 

 if I have rightly paired the specimens ; the tarsi in the male are 

 slightly more dilated and the antennae rather longer, the femora 

 in both are distinctly thickened at middle. 



629. Chrysonopa brunnea, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; antennae, apices of tibiae and the tarsi paler. 



Elongate. Head strongly and remotely punctured ; clypeus not 

 separated from the face, anterior edge feebly concave ; palpi flavous ; 

 antennae with the basal five joints flavous, rest wanting in the type 

 and only specimen, basal joint elongate and thickened, second 

 about half the length, more slender, the others longer. Thorax 

 but little broader than long, sides rounded, sulcate behind anterior 

 margin, entire surface impressed with deep and strong punctures 

 that are partly confluent at the sides. Elytra much wider at base 

 than the thorax, basal portion raised, disc finely punctate-striate, 

 apex nearly impunctate. Legs elongate ; femora unarmed. Pro- 

 sternum slightly longer than broad, narrowed anteriorly. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hub. Southern India : Nilgiris. Type in Coll. H. E. Andrewes. 



Smaller than C. rotundicollis, Jac., with the elytra finely punc- 

 tured and smooth interstices. 



Group PAGEINI. 



Body short, ovate, convex, smooth ; eyes entire, deeply and 

 broadly sulcate above ; antennae filiform, scarcely longer than half 

 the body, basal two joints incrassate. Thorax with sides angulated 

 at the middle. Legs rather elongate ; the femora of all the legs 

 armed with a small tooth beneath ; intermediate and posterior tibiae 

 emarginate at apex ; claws appendiculate. Prosteruum subquad- 

 rate ; anterior margin of thoracic episternum concave. 



Small species resembling Nodostoma, but with a broad sulcus
