the thorax, punctures arranged somewhat in rows, except at the 

 sides, interstices on the latter slightly rugose, apex more finely 

 and regularly punctate-striate, shoulders prominent. First joint 

 of anterior tarsi widened. 



5 . Only differs in having rather shorter antenna?, normal man- 

 dibles, and tarsi of equal width. 



Length 4 mm.

Genus HEMINODES.

Type, H. indicus, Jac. 



Range. India ; Burma. 



Body shaped like that of Corynodes, the eyes without sulci ; the 

 terminal joints of the antennae broadly compressed and dilated ; 

 the claws appendiculate ; the anterior margin of the thoracic 

 episternum convex. Prosternum elongate, narrowed at the middle. 



The species for which this genus was proposed resembles those 

 belonging to the genus Corynodes. I have placed it, however, in 

 the Endocephalini, as the head shows no trace of a sulcus round 

 the eyes and the claws are broadly appendiculate. 



From ChrysocJms the genus differs in the want of a supraocular 

 sulcus and in the structure of the antennaB.
