neio Species of IlisteriJie. 3G3 



the propygidilun and pygidiuiu are more closely aiul cIo;irly 

 punctured, the later convex above; the prosternuni is about 

 one third longer than wide, truncate at both euds, with a 

 microscopic strigose surface-sculpture and a few very small 

 punctures, without striie, and the lateral edges are rounded 

 off, not angulate ; the mesosternum sulcate on either side 

 behind the anterior coxa3, anteriorly immarginate, surface 

 with scattered oblong punctures; the anterior tibia3 5-dentatc. 



This is the only species I have seen without prosternal 

 strife or sulci ; the female is not known to me. 



JJab. Sumatra, 



TrT/peticus incilis, sp. n.

Cylindrical, pitchy brown, shining ; the head, vertex 

 obscurely punctured, with a shallow median fovea, face nearly 

 flat, (J feebly impressed in the middle, ? impression more 

 distinct, more obtuse, with two very small tubercle-like 

 projections on its anterior edge, and equally large in both 

 sexes ; the thorax v/ith a lateral stria only, somewhat densely 

 punctured, with a narrow smooth space in the middle, more 

 or less defined, J with a short depression behind the neck 

 and a feeble carina along its centre, $ without the depres- 

 sion, but with dense punctures behind the neck ; the elytra 

 are more conspicuously punctured in the ? than ^ and are 

 fairly close together; the propygidium and pygidium are 

 clearly and rather closely punctured, the latter is slightly 

 convex and immarginate ; the prosternum is about one tiiird 

 longer than broad, punctate, truncate before and behind, with 

 a distinct marginal stria at the sides and which continues 

 anteriorly ; the mesosternum has a lateral sulcus only ; the 

 anterior tibiae 5-dentate. 



This species is a little smaller than the last; it has no 

 facial marginal stria like that of the next species.
