XLI. — Descriptions of new CoUoptera from Hainan Island^ 

 China. By Chas. 0. Waterhouse, F.E.S. 



The British Museum lias received a small series of Coleo- 

 ptera collected in Hainan Island by the late Mr. J. White- 

 head, Avhose death we so greatly deplore. 



1"he following species appear to be undescribed: — 



Parnidae. 

 Parygrus Whiteheadiy sp. n. 



Elongatiip, bfiie conrexus, nitidns, nigro-fuscus, pube hrevi fusco 

 vcstitiis ; < hoi ace convexo, crebre subtihter piinctato, antice sat 

 argiislato, lateribus subroctis ; elytris evidentor striato-punctatis, 

 interstitiis Icviter convexis, crebre subtilissime punctulatis ; tibiis 

 tarsisque rufo-piceis. 



Long. 7 mm. 



This species most nearly resembles P. Tlardwicki, McL., 

 frcm Java. It is at once distinguished from P. tolpoides, 

 W'aterh., by the nuch more marked stria3 of the elytra and 

 by its narrower form. It differs from P. llardwicki m being 

 a trifle broader; the thorax, instead of being evenly gently 

 arcuate at the sides, has them almost rectilinear in the 

 middle, then very gently arcuate before the posterior angles, 

 uhich are not so much impressed above as they are in 

 P. Hardwichi. The lines of punctures on the elytra are 

 rather stronger than in P. Bardwicki, the punctures are 

 rather close together, but are rather irregular in size. The 

 interstices are slightly but distinctly convex ; the punctuation 

 is veiy fine and ralher close, but not by any means crowded. 

 The tibise and tarsi are pitchy red ; the claws long and 

 slender, gently curved.

 gical Record.'
