new Species of lUstcndM. 349 



slices impunctate ; the propygidium and pygidium almost 

 impunctato; the prostcrnum kccl-shapcd as an elongate tri- 

 angle, witii a few scattered punctures, lateral striae necessarily 

 oblique ; the niesostcrnuni, marginal stria com{)lete, suture 

 visible, but there is no transverse stria ; the rnetasternum, 

 median stria semicircular, not arched liice those of N. fun- 

 gorum and globatuni, and evenly crenulate, crenulations not 

 widened out ; the legs are flavous, anterior tibiae denticulate. 



'Jliis small species resembles N. rufuluin, but the foreliead 

 is less wide and there is no transverse stria to the meso- 

 sternum, which is a very remarkable character. 



The chief difference between ^V. fungorum^ Lew., and 

 globaf.um, Mars., is that the interstices to the elytral stride are 

 punctate in the latter and smooth in the former, and it is a 

 matter for notice in a family where the elytral strife are 

 usually good specific characters that in all the pale-coloured 

 species the striation is so similar. In A^ huUatum, Mars., 

 which is a dark-coloured species, there is a third stria. 



Hab, Perak (high lands). One example. 



Notodoma rufulum^ sp. n. 



Globosum, rufum, nitidum ; pedibus flavis ; elytris striis l"-2'' 

 integris, 4* et suturali antice conjunctis, interstitiis impunctatis ; 

 mcsosterno stria transversa crenulata. 



L. 2 miU. 



Globose, yellowish red, shining ; the forehead with scat- 

 tered shallow punctures and wider between the eyes than in 

 N. solstitiale, eyes also not oblique ; the thorax, marginal 

 stria fine, feebly crenulate behind the neck, clearly and 

 evenly, not densely punctured ; the elytra striate, like those 

 of N.globatum, Mars. ; the propygidium and pygidium feebly 

 and sparsely punctulate ; the prosternum sparsely punctured, 

 points shallow, lateral stria not well defined, little sinuous at 

 the coxEe, not approaching near to each other in front ; the 

 mesosternum, anterior stria crenulate, the crenulations widen- 

 ing out as the stria passes down the side of the rnetasternum, 

 transverse stria straight, crenulate, crenulations of equal 

 width ; the metasternum, median stria arched and crenulate, 

 crenulations widened out and of somewhat unequal width ; 

 the legs and antenna? are flavous. 



Of the described species this closely resembles N. solstitiale^ 

 but it has a transverse mesosternal stria. The metasternal 

 stria also has a narrower span and the crenulations are wide 

 and irregular. 



Hab. Borneo, Martapura {Doherty).
