2G8 Mr. G. Lewis on 



Globose, reddish brown and sinning, with two pale blotches 

 on the base of each elytron ; the forehead is distinctly, 

 rather closely, but not densely, punctate, tlie marginal stria is 

 a little broken before the eyes, but is continued anteriorly an I 

 acuniinately drawn back in the middle, the epistoma is finely 

 punctulate ; the thorax, marginal stria complete, there is a 

 shallow fovea behind the anterior angles, and along the sides 

 there is a border of rather large punctures, behind the neck 

 the points are much finer and gradually become very fine on 

 the region before the scutellum ; the elytra, strife, inner 

 humeral shortened at the base, but apically joined to the 

 sutural stria, 1, 2, 4, and sutural dorsal complete, the last two 

 join at the base, there is no conspicuous punctuation on the 

 elytra; the propygidium and pygidium are less closely and 

 less distinctly punctured than the region behind the neck ; 

 the prosternum, keel with a few shallow punctures, lateral 

 striae feebly sinuous at the coxfe, but otlierwise parallel to 

 each other and a little shortened before the suture; the meso- 

 sternum, punctuation rather fine and sparse, marginal and 

 tiaiisverse striae complete and crenulate, the metasternal 

 arched stria is also crenulate, but the crenulations are wider 

 and less regular. 



The large size of this species and the form of the frontal 

 stride are good distinguishing characters.

Notodoma globatum, Mars. 



Marseul states that this species has no prostcrnal stria? 

 (Mon. p. 135), but I think this is an error, although the state- 

 ment is practically repeated in the Annales Soc. Ent. Belg. 

 p. 109 (1870). I have examples from Birma and Tenasserim, 

 which have the thorax wholly punctured, and which in other 

 respects agree with MarseuPs description and figures of 

 N. globatum, and in figure 1 a the strige appear to exist. 



Notodoma nigrum, sp. n. 



Globosum, nigrum, nitidum ; fronts stria antice valida ; pronoto 

 pone oculos impresso ; elytris striis 1-4 et suturali integris, 5 basi 

 abbreviata ; antennis clava rufa ; pedibus piceis, tibiis anticis 

 spinulosis.
