I am indepted to the Museo civico di storia naturale of Grenova 

 for my specimen of tliis spöfties. It was captured at Jeibodas Java, 

 at an elevation of 4500 ft. b)' Dr. Beccari in October 1874, 



Synarmostes Hardldi (u. sp.) : Nigro-piceus, suhniUdus, hrevimme 

 setuhsus; cafite thoraceque dense fortiter ocellato-pundatis ; ehjtris sub- 

 seriatim er ehre pundatü, pundis apicem versus oceUatts; antennis rufis. 

 — Long. 5 mill. 



When unrolled, naiTow, elongatc and subparellel. Clypeus very 

 coarsely pimctured, distinctly angulate in tho middle in front, thorax 

 densely and coarsely punctured , its sides margins set with ciliae 

 ■which are not crowded togetlier. Elytra with the punctures at the 

 ba^e of peculiar form, each puncture boing effaced on one side (some- 

 what thus G ), towards the apex they are entire. 



Singapore. 



Very closely allied to S. Gestroi Harold, but I think a distinct 

 species, it is rather longer, has the ciliae at the sides of the thorax 

 less crowded together , and has the punctures at the base of the 

 elytra not so deep, and different in form. The other characters men- 

 tioned by Harold are quite similar in this species. 



Synarmostes hrevis (n. sp.): Niger, sat nitidus, omnino b-evis- 

 stnie setnhsus, capite thoraceque dense fortiter ocellato-pundatis; ehjtris 

 seriatim punctatis, pundis hast simplicibus , apicem versus ocellatis; an- 

 tennis rufis. — Long. 4^/^ mill. 



Extremely close to S. Gestroi, but rather shorter and broader, 

 with the setae very inconspicous , and with the ocellated punctures 

 near the extrcmity of the elytra effaced on one side. 



Mysol (Wallace!). 



Synarmostes picinus (n. .sp.): Picetis, sat nitidus, evid-enter suh- 

 tiliter setulosus, tJiorace elytrisque er ehre sat fortiter punctatis; antemiis 

 rufis. — Long. 5^2 Diill. 



Larger and broader than S. Gestroi, similar thereto in structure 

 and the points described by Harold, but differing a httle in sculpture, 

 the punctures on the thorax and elytra being less deeply impressed, 

 aud tho ocellated punctures towards the extremity of the elytra are 

 smaller, and most of them are effaced on one side. 



Philippine Islands.
