382 On new Species of Histeride. 
the mesosternum is very obtuse anteriorly and immarginate, 
the punctuation on it and the metasternum is similar to that 
on the keel of the prosternum, behind the intermediate coxe 
there is a similar sulcus to that noted on the prosternum ; the 
first abdominal segment is only sparsely punctulate in the 
middle; the anterior tibize are 6-7-dentate. 
Hab. N.W. India (EZ. P. Stebbing}. 
The male also of this species is alone known. 
Teretrius latebricola, sp. n. 
Cylindricus, elongatus, niger, nitidus; fronte in medio leviter 
foveolata; pronoto stria integra ad angulos subcarinata; pro- 
sterno striis obsoletis ; tibiis anticis 6-dentatis. 
L. 2% mill. 
Cylindrical, elongate, black and shining; the head rather 
closely punctured except on the vertex, which is lightly 
foveolate and, in and around the fovea, the punctures are 
larger and less close; the thorax, the punctures are very 
similar to those of the head, especially behind the neck, on 
the disk they are rather less close, and there isa small, narrow, 
longitudinal, smooth space before the scutellum, the marginal 
stria is well-marked and somewhat carinate at the anterior 
angles, and it is also a little raised behind the head; the 
elytra, strie obsolete, punctured like the thorax; the pro- 
sternum, anterior lobe feebly sinuous and marginate, surface 
microscopically strigose, punctate, punctures are somewhat 
closely but not densely set, some, especially those in the 
middle, are oval (the meso- and metasterna and the first 
segment of the abdomen are similarly punctured), the lateral 
strie are almost obsolete, being but faintly traceable between 
the cox; the mesosternum is somewhat strongly marginate 
at the sides and the stria continues along the lateral margin 
of the metasternum, but behind the prosternal keel the stria 
is punctiform and indistinct ; the propygidium and pygidium 
are evenly, somewhat finely, rather closely, but not densely 
punctured ; the anterior tibiz are 6-dentate. 
There is no doubt this species is different from 7. obliquulus, 
Lec., and 7. levatus and montanus, Horn, but all these species 
require redescription. Dr. Horn considered 7. americanus, 
Lec. (see ‘ Synopsis,’ 1873, p. 346), doubtfully distinct from 
the European 7. picipes, but an example I have, taken by 
Mr. Morrison in Montana, and, I believe, named by Dr. Horn 
americanus, is a species of Teretriosoma. 
Hab. “ Central New York” State (/7. F. Wickham).
