and free from punctures , whero tlie interstices aro broad they aro 

 closely punctured , Aho surface bears a short erect pubescence ; the 

 pygidium is closely punctured and is very pubcscent. Tlio sides of 

 the prosternum are punctured and pubescent up to the front angles. 

 The metasternum is prominent in front in the middlc, and is rather 

 closely punctured except just on tlie prominent part; the abdomen 

 also bears a short rigid pubescence. The legs are black or pitchy 

 black witli the tarsi reddish , the under surface of the femora strongly 

 punctured.

Haro"ld's description of this species being rather short, I have 

 thought it useful to give here a moro füll one. It was contained 

 also in Dejean's coUection where it was labelled „0. subsulcattis mihi, 

 capreolus Latreille. Java." 



Onthopliagus pcdator (n. sp.) : Elongatus , hmjius demiursque 

 puhescens, nigro-fusciis, prothorace ohscure aenescentc, antennis femon'hnsque 

 quatuw foderioribus fere omnino, anter ioribus subtus metadernoque ex 

 parte rufo-testaceis; protliorace dense fortiter punctato; elytris striatis 

 denseque ptmctatis. — Long. 8V2, lat. elytrorum 4 mill. 



Mas: Chjpeo leviter produdo, disco linea minus elevata, vcrtice cor- 

 nubtts duohis redis sat elongatis, inter qua lamina hrevi truncata; pro- 

 thorace antice perpendimlari et biimpresso ; tibiis anterioribus subelon-

Clypeus in the male shining and almost impunctate in front, in 

 the female rugose. Thorax coarsely and very densely punctured, like 

 the clypeus with a ftiint metallic tinge, and bearing a long, fino np- 

 right pubescence, the basal margin is almost abscnt, along the middle 

 in the hinder part there is a not very distinct longitudinal Channel. 

 The elytra are distinctly striated with the interstices closely punctured 

 and pubescent. The pygidium is closely punctured but the punctua- 

 tion is concealed by the long and dense pubescence. The side of the 

 prosternum is punctured up to the front angle, which is not foveolate, 

 though a little deprossod internally. The metasternum is a little ele- 

 vated along the middle, the elevation being most distinct in the an- 

 terior part, it is sparingly and coarsely punctured behind, more finely
