neio Species of Histeridge. 3-1:5 



Hah. Imanombo, Madagascar {Dr. J. Decorse, 1901). In 

 tlie Museum of Paris and my own collection. Six examples. 



Ehlisia tenuipes, sp. n. 



Oblonga, parallela, depressa, picea, nitida ; fronte impressa, teiiuiter 

 punctulata ; prouoto antice biimpresso ; elytris striis 1-4 integris, 

 5 basi abbreviata, suturaii nulla ; pedibus brevibus.

Oblong, parallel, depressed, piceous and shining ; tlie head 

 is very finely punctulate, impressed in the middle, the lateral 

 stria is well marked, but it does not reach the anterior angle 

 of the head, the frontal stria is much less distinct and abbre- 

 viated on either side ; the thorax is wider than long, the 

 lateral stria is sinuous, shallow, and there are slight impres- 

 sions and rugosities along its course, the stria is continued 

 behind the head, where it is irregularly crenulate ; the elytra, 

 tiiere are two fine epipleural strise, but no humeral, the dorsal 

 striae 1-4 are complete, 5 is parallel to the suture, shortened 

 before the base, where there is a small puncture ; the pro- 

 pygidium is feebly impressed on either side and its punctures 

 are shallow, not closely set, and some are oval ; thepygidium 

 is more evenly punctured, punctures are circular and on each 

 side it is somewhat deeply impressed, with the outer rim 

 raised ; the prosternum has a fine marginal stria round its 

 base, but the stria does not pass the coxas ; the mesosternum 

 is emarginate behind the keel and has a fine marginal stria ; 

 the anterior tibia3 are 5-dentate, the tarsal groove is short 

 and shallow, and not curved, corresponding in length to the 

 tarsi, which are all somewhat short ; the legs are rather long 

 and slender. 



I cannot compare this species with any other known. It 

 is convenient at present to place it in the genus Ehlisia on 

 account of its tarsal grooves ; but Ehlisia and its members 

 require revision. 



Hah. Yunnan [Donckier) . One example. 



Macrolister striatisternus, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovatus, convexiusculus, niger, nitidus ; fronte Itevi, stria 

 Integra antice subrecta ; prouoto striis lateralibus integris, stria 

 interna baud interrupta ; elycris striis 1-3 integris, suturaii basi 

 abbreviata ; propj'gidio pj'gidioque dense puuctatis ; prosterno 

 inter coxas bistriato ; mesosterno eraargiuato; tibiis anticia 

 3-dentatis.
