32 G- LEWIS 



widely impressed before the eyes, striate at the sides; thorax, 

 stria fine, punctuation rather sparse; elytra, striae crenulate 1-5 

 entire, 4-5 turning towards the scutellum for one third of their 

 length, the 5.^ being hooked at the base, the G.^^is straight 

 and apical but passing beyond the middle ; propygidium coarsely 

 and a little sparsely punctate ; pygidium with rather smaller 

 punctures; prosternum bistriate; mesosternum emarginate, border 

 stria very distinct and from the middle coxae it passes along 

 the sides of the metasternum to the hinder coxae in a straight 

 line, and then it continues across the first abdominal segment 

 where it is sinuous. The legs and antennae are pitchy red. The 

 species should be placed next to C. striatisternmn Lew. from Ceylon 

 on account of the metasternal striae. I have a species also from 

 Sumatra (dulcis Lew.) with a similar striation, this character 

 may be confined to an eastern group of Carcinops.

Similar in facies to P. complanatus Panz. Oval, black , shining , 

 punctulate ; frontal stria complete well-defined over the eyes ; 

 thorax, lateral stria strong and continuing feebly behind the 

 neck, small but clear scutellar fovea; elytra, without striae, 

 dorsal disc nearly smooth, punctured visibly behind the middle ; 

 propygidium and pygidium with an extremely fine punctulation ; 

 prosternum, keel bistriate, striae meeting at both ends; meso- 

 sternal transverse stria faint and feebly biangulate. Anterior 

 tibiae 4-5 dentate and in the </* the intermediate and posterior 

 tibiae are a little bowed.
