Hister sessilisj sp. n. 



Orbicularis, convexiusculus, niger, nitidus ; pedibus brunneo-rufis ; 

 pronoto utrinque impresso stria interna abbreviata ; elj'tris striis 

 1-5 integris, 5 basi incurvata, apice sinuata, suturali dimidiata ; 

 mesosterno arcuato, marginato ; tibiis anticis apice dilatatis. 



Long. 2|-3| mill. 



Orbicular, rather convex, black and shining, antennfe and 

 legs brownish red ; the head, vertex punctulate, stria strong, 

 complete and distinctly sinuous anteriorly; the thorax, ante- 

 rior edge bisinuous, internal lateral stria very short, oblique, 

 and terminating anteriorly in a fovea behind the anterior 

 angle, fovea punctate, the stria behind the head is crenulate 

 or punctiform and does not clearly reach the fovea (in some 

 examples tliis stria is better marked than in others) ; the 

 elytra, striae, inner subhumeral discal very short, with a basal 

 oblique appendage, external wanting, dorsal 1-4 complete 

 and somewhat bowed, 5 complete, faintly sinuous behind the 

 middle, very indistinctly incurved before the base, sutural 

 apical reaching beyond the middle and posteriorly turning 

 away from the suture ; the propygidium sparsely punctured 

 and the pygidium is smooth (the surface-sculpture of these 

 two segments agrees with those of H. ccelestis^ Mars.) ; the 

 presternum, anterior lobe with an arched marginal sulcus; 

 the mesosternum is arched anteriorly, with an irregular crenu- 

 late marginal stria ; the metasternum has a lateral stria some 

 distance within the line of mesosternal stria; the anterior legs 

 are smooth and the tibiee widen out to their apices, the denti- 

 culations are ill-defined. 



The species is very similar to H. coelestis, Mars., and 

 //. itijirmus, Sch. ; 1 only know the latter by description, but 

 the thoracic stria is interrupted behind the head and the fifth 

 dorsal is formed differently.
