A434 Mr. G. J. Arrow on the 
Hab. Cryton: Horton Plains (May, #. H. Green). 
A single male specimen. 
‘This species is easily recognized by its long narrow shape, 
the shining head and prothorax, the latter with narrow 
lateral yellow stripes, and opaque silky elytra. There is a 
rather strong smooth elevation at the middle of the clypeus, 
which is scarcely emarginate in front. The head, pronotum 
and scutellum, and also the pygidium, are deeply but sparsely 
punetured, The elytra are finely, closely, and rather irregu- 
larly punctured in the neighbourhood of the striz. 
Sclaserica scutellaris, sp. n. 
Rufa, polita, nitida, scutello solum opaco, elongata, elytrorum lati- 
tudine maximo apicem versus; capite grosse sed parce punctato, 
clypeo antice valde reflexo, fere recto ; pronoto parce et sat minute 
punctato, lateribus vix arcuatis, angulo antico paulo producto, 
postico rotundato; elytris profunde striatis, striis minute punc- 
tatis, interstitiis paulo convexis, minutissime et parcissime 
punctatis ; tibiis anticis tridentatis. 
Long. 10 mm.; lat. max. 6 mm. 
Hab. CEYLON: Dikoya, 4000 feet (Dec., Jan., G. Lewis). 
The type is a unique female. ; 
This resembles S. nitida, Cand., but is a little smaller and 
relatively rather shorter and more dilated behind. It is 
shining, like S. nitida, but with the scutellum opaque and 
with a very feeble silky reflection upon the elytra. ‘The few 
punctures upon the elytral intervals are still more fine and 
scanty than in S. nitida; the alternate intervals are not 
distinctly broader than the others, as in that, nor more 
strongly punctured. The outermost interval is well punc- 
tured, but the rest are almost smooth. ‘The hind angles of 
the pronotum are more rounded. 
Sclaserica sericea, sp. n. 
Late rufa, sericea, vix opaca, capite nitido, ovalis, postice sat 
lata; capite grosse punctato, antice paulo tumido, levigato, 
clypei margine antico valde reflexo, leviter emarginato, fronte 
medio levigato, vix carinato, pronoto fortiter sat crebre punc- 
tato, lateraliter paulo grossius, lateribus fere rectis, angulis an- 
ticis paulo productis, posticis obtusis ; scutello paulo punctato ; 
elytris fortiter, irregulariter punctatis, striatis, striis crebre punc- 
tatis, interstitils convexis ; tibiis anticis tridentatis : 
dg, antennis 4-lamellatis, lamella prima paulo abbreviata. 
Long. 10 mm.; lat. max, 6 mm.
