MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 359 
29. CARPOPHILUS TRISTIS. 
Erichs. in Germ. Zeitschr. iv. 264 (1843). 
C. nigro paulo brevior et magis depressus, latus, niger, opacus, nigro pubescens ; thoracis 
margine lato, repando; elytris alutaceis; pedibus piceis. Long. 1$ lin., lat. 1 lin. 
Habitat in Brasilia. 
Black, opaque, nigro-pubescent. Antenne black, with the base piceous. Head closely 
punetate. "Thorax of the breadth of the elytra, slightly rounded on the sides, densely and 
rather deeply punctate, equal, with a broad reflexed lateral margin faintly expanded; 
anterior angles pointed, obtuse; posterior angles obtuse at the very angle; base truncate, 
not sinuate. Scutellum thickly punctate. Elytra a half longer than the thorax, leathery 
in appearance, faintly punctulate. Abdomen faintly punctate. Legs piceous. 
The leathery texture of the elytra furnishes a good character for distinguishing this 
from any allied species that are likely to be confounded with it. 
From Brazil. 
30. CARPOPHILUS TECTUS. 
C. Morioni affinis; latus, fusiformis, subconvexus, subnitidus, crebre punctatus, parce et 
breviter nigro pubescens, niger, antennis pedibusque rufo-testaceis; thorace elytris- 
que utrinque leviter obliquantibus ut tectis. Long. 2 lin., lat. 1 lin. 
Habitat in Borneo et Singapore. 
Like C. Morio. Broadly fusiform, subconvex, very slightly shining, thickly punctate, 
sparingly clothed with a short black pubescence. - Black ; antennze rufo-testaceous, club 
darker. Head slightly punctate, very slightly bifoveolate on each side of the base of the 
epistome, which is punctate; mouth piceous. Thorax somewhat convex, with a tendency 
to a ridge behind, which culminates in a smooth narrow longitudinal line in front of the 
scutellum; sides gently rounded, widest immediately before the posterior angles, which 
are obtuse and slightly looking back, slightly margined; anterior angles obtusely 
rounded; apex slightly emarginate, base bisinuate, middle more produced than the sides. 
Scutellum transversely pentagonal, declinate in front, punctate, smooth at the apex. 
Elytra usually highest at the suture, each elytron sloping a little from it, sides straightly 
declinate, rounded, margined and canalieulate; thickly punctate and pubescent, smoother 
towards the suture; the humeral angles not rounded, but terminating in an obtuse point ; 
exterior apical angles rounded, apex obliquely truncate; sutural angles slightly obtuse. 
Abdomen very finely punctate and pubescent. Below punctate and pubescent. Legs 
rufo-testaceous. 
Collected by Mr. Wallace at Sarawak and Singapore. 
31. CARPOPHILUS FLAVIPES. 
C. tecto affinis; minor, convexus, crebre et fortiter punctatus, nigro pubescens, sub- 
opacus, niger, antennarum basi testaceo-picea, pedibus flavo-testaceis. Long. 1} lin., 
lat. $ lin.
