longer ; the propygidium isimpressed posteriorly on either side, 
and with the pygidium is clearly but not very closely punc- 
tured ; the prosternum, keel with a fine marginal stria which 
continues along the sides of the posterior lobe, but does not 
join behind, anteriorly the striz are a little divergent; the 
mesosternum is feebly sinuous anteriorly and margined with 
a fine stria; the anterior tibizee are 5-6-dentate. 
This species agrees with H. stenocephalus, Lew., and 
LH, sinuaticollis, Lew., in the form of the thorax, and with 
f1, indicus, Lew., in its general outline and dorsal striae. 
The lateral thoracic stria being hamate anteriorly distin- 
guishes it from all the described species. 
Hab. Mount Kinabalu, North Borneo. 
Hister sectator, sp. n. 
Ovatus, convexus, niger, nitidus ; fronte stria integra; thorace stria 
laterali obliqua basi abbreviata; elytris striis humerali interna et 
1-3 integris, 4 basi abbreviata vel evanescenti, 5-6 dimidiatis ; 
pygidio vix dense punctato; prosterno angusto haud striato; 
mesosterno fere truncato, marginato. 
L. 44 mill. 
Oval, convex, black and shining; the head, frontal stria 
not very strong and feebly bisinuous anteriorly ; the thorax, 
anterior outline semicircular, marginal stria fine and joining 
the lateral stria behind the eye, lateral stria oblique, short- 
ened before the hinder angle, lateral interstice rather wide ; 
the elytra, striz, inner humeral and 1-3 complete, oblique 
basal extremely fine, 4 shortened at the base with a trace of 
completeness seen in certain lights, 5 dimidiate, sutural 
slightly longer and apically bending a little away from the 
suture, all the strie are slightly crenulate; the propygidium 
is evenly and rather closely punctured; the pygidium simi- 
larly punctured, but the points are a little more dense; the 
prosternum has a narrow keel and the posterior lobe is small 
and triangular behind the coxe ; the mesosternum is marginate 
and feebly arched anteriorly; the anterior tibie are 5-6- 
dentate. 
1. sectator is readily distinguished from H. philippinensis, 
Mars., by its oblique thoracic stria. 
Hab. Mount Kinabalu, North Borneo. 
Hister Baberit, sp. n. 
Ovalis, convexus, niger, nitidus; fronte stria integra arcuata ; 
thorace utrinqgue impresso, stria interna obliqua basi parum 
abbreviata; elytris striis 1-3 integris, 4-5 et suturali basi abbre- 
viatis; mesosterno antice truncato.
