381. Sinurus graciliceps, n. sp. 



S. nitido valde affinis, sed conspicue differt capite thoraceque 

 multo angustioribus oculisque minus prominentibus. Niger, po- 

 litus nee alutaceus, partibus oris antennis genubus et tarsis 

 melleo rufis. Caput fere sicut in Thyreoptero flavosignato collo 

 angusto, fronte subtilissime rugulosa juxta oculos unistriata. 

 Thorax baud cordatus, panilo ante medium angulato-dilatatus, 

 ante angulum parum curvatim angustatus angulis anticis por- 

 rectis, post angulum sinuatim magis angustatus, angulis posticis 

 valde obtusis cum margine laterali explanato reflexis; supra 

 laevis. Elytra truncata parum sinuata, angulis suturali bus fere 

 rectis; fortiter striata, interstitiis convexis politis tertio versus 

 apicem bipunctato. — Long. 8 millim. 9 . 



Karin Ghecù, alt. 1300-1400 m. One example only. 



The bases of the tarsal claws within have a few fine denti- 

 culations as in S. opacus and nitidus.

The examples agree with others with which I have compared 

 them, from Java, Penang, Cambodia and the Andaman Islands. 

 The 5.*^^ and 7.*^^ elytral interstices vary in convexity in indivi- 

 duals from Java, but they are usually a little more convex and 

 narrower in those from Andaman Islands and Burma.
