JORDAN—COLEOPTERA: ANTHRIBIDA 261 
rounded and only a little larger than 90°. The elytra are slightly more than half as long 
again as the pronotum. They bear rows of rather large punctures, but only the sutural 
row is distinctly impressed as a stripe. 
The under surface of the thorax bears large dispersed punctures. 
The underwing is reduced, being very narrow, but variable in length. It bears only 
two veins, which are vestigial and the hind margin is dilated beyond the middle.

14. Scirtetinus dinudiatus, spec. nov. (Plate 15, fig. 12). 
d¢. Ater, nitidus, subtus picescens, ore et antennarum basi luteis, tarsis pices- 
centibus ; pronoto cum capite densissime coriaceo, punctis sat magnis leviter impressis 
numerosis omnino instructo, elytris pronoto paululo longioribus et angustioribus, grosse 
punctato-striatis, tibiis posticis compressis latis. 
Long. (cap. excl.) 1—1°2 mm. 
A small series. 
The very dense leathery structure of the surface of the head and pronotum renders 
these parts less shiny black than are the elytra ; both bear numerous evenly distributed, 
rather large but shallow punctures, which are much smaller than the punctures of 
the under side of the thorax. The carina forms a slightly obtuse angle, which is not 
rounded. The thorax is about one-tenth shorter and also one-tenth broader than the 
elytra, as well as one-tenth broader than it is long. The elytra are less convex 
than in S. ewmelas, their vertical width in a lateral aspect not surpassing that of the 
sterna; they are coarsely punctate-striate and very glossy. The hind tibia equals in 
width about one and a half interspaces of the elytra (measured near base). 
Underwings very small.

Trois Fréres, 2000 ft., I. 1909; Cascade Estate, 800—1500 ft., III. 1909; high damp 
forest between Trois Freres and Morne Seychellois, 1500—2000 ft., XII. 1908. 
15. Scortetinus luteipes, spec. nov. 
39. S. dimidiato valde affinis, colore luteo magis extenso, tiblis pro maxima 
parte et totis tarsis luteis, tibuis posticis minus dilatatis, 
A small series. 
The proportions of the thorax and elytra are the same as in S. dimidiatus. The 
antennz are pale yellow with brown club, the entire fore and mid tibie, the apex of 
the hind tibia and all the tarsi are luteous. The punctures of the pronotum are rather 
larger towards the sides, and therefore do not contrast so much in the neighbourhood 
of the lateral carina with the large deep punctures of the under surface. The hind tibia 
is not nearly so broad as in dimediatus.
