MR. A. MURRAY’S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 321 
black, tarsi testaceous. Head smooth, very faintly (almost imperceptibly) punctate in 
front, impunctate behind ; epistome with two slight projections, somewhat bent down, and 
separated by a rather wide emargination (fig. 83), behind which extends, for nearly the 
half of the length of the head, a deep, longitudinal, irregularly, rather strongly punctate 
fovea. Thorax very faintly punctate, rather narrower behind than in front; sides gently 
curved, declinate towards the front, anterior angles nearly right-angled, posterior angles 
rounded ; front truncate, straight; base truncate, but rounded towards the angles. Scu- 
tellum broad, nearly impunctate, longitudinally hollowed. Elytra with two or three fine, 
very faintly punctate striæ running obliquely inwards from the base within the shoulder, 
but becoming effaced towards the apex and sides, which are perfectly smooth; a few 
long, fine hairs ranged along the outer margin. Abdomen above with a longitudinal 
hollow along all the segments, which are smooth and impunctate, except the pygidium, 
which is faintly punctate, and all with a few scattered long hairs, more especially along 
the margins. Thighs very stout. 
Collected by Mr. Wallace in the island of Dorey in New Guinea. A single specimen 
is in the British Museum.

Linear, elongate, very much depressed, shining, more or less punctate ; head and thorax 
piceo-ferruginous ; elytra and abdomen fusco-piceous. Head oblong, large, broad, flat, 
sides parallel, sparsely and finely punctate, most on the middle and scarcely or not at all 
on the sides; epistome bidentate and emarginate (fig. 84); antenn: ferruginous, with 
the club dusky ; mandibles unequally tridentate, and with the outer side raised like a 
ledge (see Plate XXXV. fig. 5 g), ferruginous, with the tip darker. Thorax suboblong, 
with the apex and base about equal in breadth, not wider than the head, the sides gently 
rounded, widest a little behind the middle, the margin on the sides sinuate, broadest in 
front, anterior angles nearly right-angled, posterior angles obtuse,—a small, punctate, 
roundish fovea in each posterior angle,—the disk sparsely punctate, a very fine median 
longitudinal line running from the base forwards for two-thirds of the length of the 
thorax, and an elongate faint punctate impression on each side of it near the base; the 
apex not emarginate, the base not sinuate, both slightly rounded. Scutellum very broad 
and short, rounded posteriorly, smooth, impunetate, exeept one or two punctures near 
the base. Elytra a little longer than, but scarcely so broad as, the thorax, sides parallel ; 
punctate-striate, the striz effaced before the apex, the interstices impunctate, the space 
next the suture widest, depressed towards the suture; apex with the exterior angles
