It has a close similarity to the European 2\ htrtus, but 

 tlie hairy clothing is much lon;j;er, less abundant, and of a 

 tawny colour. The elytra are much li;;hter in colour than 

 the head and pronotuni, and the posterior lobe of tiie latter is 

 rather deeply exci.sed. The antennai are very slender, with 

 a club of similar slmpe, the last joint in the male being about 

 fuur times the length of its j)redecesSur. 



Trinodes rotund us, 8p. n. 



Niger, nitidus, sat late ovatus, globuhis, eiliis griseis tenuibus haud

JIah. S.E. Borneo: Martapura [Doliertij, li>9]). 



This is a large species of the same size as T. ruftscens, 

 Reitt,, and more regularly oval and less contracted in front 

 than any other species known to nie, the pronotum being 

 luoad and rounded and tiie shonlders not jjroniinent. The 

 hairy clotiiing is less coarse and more scanty than in T.hirtus 

 and rufesceiis, and consists of intermixed erect and prostrate 

 hairs. The lateial nisirgins of the pronotum are narrow, and 

 the grooves entire and parallel to the sides. The club of the 

 antenna consists of three very loosely connected globular 

 joints, the last twice the diameter ot either of the others. 

 Tlie t^tructure of the sternum is really intermediate, betwem 

 the two extremes represented by typical forms of Tiiuodis 

 and Apsectus. The piosternum has a posterior process, but 

 this is very short and blunt, scarcely reaching beyond the 

 front coxae. Its tip enters a slight cavity in the mesosternum, 

 but docs not divide the latter as in the other species. 



The three specimens are probably females.
