not by a suture but a line. There is no other instance of their occurrence in any of the 
Carpophilide. Legs ferruginous. 
Not unlike C. humeralis, Fab., in appearance, but, besides having only two segments of 
the abdomen exposed, is smaller, differently punctate, and otherwise distinct.

10. CARPOPHILUS RUBESCENS. 
Affinis C. marginello; oblongo-ovatus, subconvexus, nitidus, durus, fortiter et crebre 
punetatus, glaber, rubidus, thoracis disco, elytrorum lateribus et abdominis apice 
saturatioribus. Long. 1$ lin., lat. $ lin. 
Habitat in Borneo. 
Allied to C. marginellus, but may be at once distinguished from it, independent of its 
lighter colour, by the absence of the large fovea on each side near the base of the thorax. 
Oblong-ovate, somewhat convex, shining, of a hard texture, strongly and closely punctate, 
glabrous, testaceous red. Head not so coarsely punctate as the thorax and elytra, with 
a small, shallow, round depression on each side at the base of the epistome, the base 
somewhat darker than the rest. Thorax wider than long, subquadrangular, the posterior 
two-thirds of the sides nearly straight and parallel, very slightly sinuate, anterior third 
rounded-in to the anterior angles, which are somewhat obtuse and blunt; the apex is 
emarginate; the posterior angles obtuse, the sides being turned in at a very short dis- 
tance before the angle; disk darker than the sides, even, and without depressions, a 
narrow impunctate elevation in front of the suture; coarsely punctate, punctures round 
and deep; along the posterior straight part of the sides there is a double longitudinal 
impression, making a slight fold ; base truncate, slightly sinuate. Scutellum rather broad, 
smooth and shining at the apex, punctate behind. Elytra about a half longer than 
the thorax, a little wider than its base, subparallel as seen from above, sides gently 
rounded, shoulders distinct ; more finely punctate than the thorax, punctures elongate and 
aciculate, as if made from behind; suture, base, and sides darker than the disk, the sides 
nearly black. Abdomen finely and acicularly punctate, the apex of the pygidium above 
dark. Legs and underside rufous. 
Collected at Sarawak in Borneo by Mr. Wallace.

Statura C. marginelli, dignoscitur thorace elytris latiore elytrisque paulo brevioribus et 
postice angustioribus ; subtilius punctatus, thoracis linea marginali basali profundiore 
et magis extensa. Long. lin., lat. lin. 
Habitat in Celebes. 
Very like C.marginellus. It is darker in colour, being dark piceo-ferruginous, with 
the head, apex of the thorax, and base and suture of elytraferruginous. It is more finely 
punctate (aimost acicularly) and more silky. The thorax is more convex, wider, more 
especially in front, and has the basal marginal line deeper and more extended. The elytra 
are narrowed posteriorly and bulge out in the middle; their apex is smooth and impunc-
