238 MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE COLEOPTERA OF PENANG. [May 8, 



Tawny brown, thickly pubescent, everywhere, except the under 

 surface, clothed with short erect setulose hairs ; head with sparse 

 greyish hairs, behind the eye a yellowish spot, which corresponds 

 with another on the prothorax, the latter turgid in the centre and 

 expanded at the base ; scutellum nearly triangular ; elytra remotely 

 and irregularly punctured, obscurely varied with dark brown, parti- 

 cularly two flexuous marks which enclose near the shoulder a pale 

 yellowish spot ; body beneath dark chestnut-brown, subnitid, mi- 

 nutely pubescent ; legs and antennae tawny brown, obscurely varied 

 with greyish. Length 4| lines. 



A somewhat broader species than Sodus verticalis, and otherwise 

 very distinct. Sodus is a somewhat isolated genus, differing from 

 the other genera of its subfamily in the rounded apex of the scape, 

 not dilated nor cicatricose, and in the presence of setulose hairs 

 clothing every part of the insect, except the breast and abdomen.

Cenodocus adtjstus, Pascoe, Long. Malay, p. 142, pi. 10. f. 3. 



Mr. Wallace's specimen of this species is from Sumatra. M. 

 Thomson's type (C. antennatus) is from Java. 



Cenodocus granulosus. (PI. XXVI. fig. 12.) 



C.ferrugineo-griseus; elytris singidis medio impressione obliqua 

 instructis ; tarsis concoloribus. 



Derm black, closely covered with a coarse rusty-grey pile ; head 

 rugose in front, the pile sparsely distributed ; prothorax oblong, 

 with numerous large foveolate punctures ; scutellum semilunar ; 

 elytra short, strongly punctured, with here and there black glossy 

 granules between them, from near the suture at about the middle of 

 each elytron a large shallow impression proceeds outwards and down- 

 wards, "this is nearly free from punctures or granules, and is of a 

 lighter colour than the rest ; body beneath and legs with a coarse 

 greyish pile ; antennse brown, the fringe, apex of the fourth, which 

 is otherwise white, and the remainder of the joints black. Length 

 6 lines. 



This is a well-marked species belonging to a well-marked genus. 

 The antennse are unusually short, even for this subfamily, aud the 

 joints of very unequal length, the last seven, for instance, being 

 together shorter than the third ; this joint is feathered as it were on 

 two sides by densely compacted hairs. In this species the feather- 

 ing does not extend to the base of the joint. The scape and also 

 the second joint have also slighter plumes beneath, so far as the 

 above species are concerned, but in M. Thomson's species no men- 

 tion is made of the plume on the scape.
