niesosternum is sinuous, with a short bent stria at either angle 

 and a single line of punctures (fig. 1) broken in the middle; 

 the anterior tibiai are 7-dentate.

Notolister sulcicollis (fig. 2) has one simple stria only on 

 the niesosternum.

Notolister catenatus, sp. n. 



Breviter ovatus, convexiusculus, niger, nitidus ; fronte inaequali, 

 baud striata ; thorace profunda sulcato ; elytris striis 1-3 integris, 

 interstitiis parte punctatis, 4-5 uullis, suturali basi abbreviata ; 

 mesosterno bistriato ; tibiis anticis T-dentatis. 



L, 53 mill. 



Shortly oval, rather convex, black and shining ; tlie head, 

 vertex uneven, finely punctulate ; the thorax, marginal stria 

 complete, with a widened interstice behind the neck, sulcus 

 as in the last species ; the elytra, epipleura 5-3triate, outer 

 humeral stria shortened just before the base, the inner humeral 

 is apical, rough on its edges and nearly reaches the middle, 1-3 

 dorsal are punctate-striate and are obliterated apical ly by the 

 punctures, the apical punctures extend along the interstices 

 of the three strife nearly to the middle of the dorsum, the 

 punctures also extend nearly to the middle of the elytra in 

 the region of the fourth and fifth stria3, which apparently is 

 represented by some of the points, the sufural stria is longer 

 than that of unistrius, being shortened only just before the 

 base ; the pygidia are punctured like those of the last species ; 

 the prosternum, surface of the kiel is sparingly and very 

 finely punctulate, lateral stripe gradually converge and join 

 anteriorly ; the niesosternum is feebly sinuous in the middle, 

 with a short stria on either angle and a deeply impressed line 

 of punctures along its base and a second line close to it 

 (fig. 3), very similar, but broken in the middle, which
