setje ; the anterior pairs of tibiae rather sharply angulate on 

 the lower surface not far from the base. 



Length 4g-5, breadth 2^-3 mm.

Subfamily IsoEitaYNCRiNJE. 

 PhcBnomerus angulicollis, sp. n. 



? . Colour black, sparsely clothed with rather stout, 

 transversely recumbent, pale yellowish, hair-like scales, 

 having the following patches apparently bare, but really 

 clotJied with similar black hairs which are not very con- 

 spicuous : — A large transverse patch on the anterior half of 

 the ])roihora\', and two irregular patches on each elytron, 

 one before and the other behind the middle. 



Head with scattered punctures, the eyes a little more 

 widely separated thau in P. sundewalli. Rostrum red-brown, 

 the thickeDed basal portion forming about one-fourth of the 

 whole, and not sulcate, but with two posteriorly convergent 

 rows of fine punctures on the disk ; the scrobcs continued 

 to beyond the middle as a shallow punctate furrow, and with 

 a fine stria just aboA'e them. Prothorax at least two and a 

 half times as long as its basal width, the sides obtusely 

 angulated in front of the middle, the dorsal margin bounded 

 by a fine carina in the basal half, the upper surface with 

 reiiculate punctures which are longitudinally subcoalescent, 

 leaving a distinct smooth central carina. Elijtra narrowly 

 cylindrical, about as broad as the prothorax at its angu- 

 lation, \>ith shallow stride containing closely set transverse 

 punctures, the intervals narrowly carinate, except the four 

 outer ones, which are broader and almost flat. Legs similar 

 to those of P. sundewalli, exce[)t that the large tooth on the 

 elongate hind lemora is more deeply sinuate at the ba^e of 

 its posterior edge, so that this edge is distinctly angulated 

 in the middle. 



Length 3j, breadth | mm. 



Bengal: Sanderbaus, ]3. ii. 1915 [C. F. C. Beeson). 



Veiy similar sujjerficially to P. sundtwulli, Boh., but 

 distinguished by its obviously narrower build, more widely 

 se])arated eyes, the lateral angulation and basal lateral 

 carina of the prothorax, and the shape of the tooth on the 

 hind femora. 



Found in burrows in sundri-trees {Herifiera littoralis).
