214 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of 



closely punctured than in C. chinensis ; apical margin 

 bordered with a deep transverse groove, basal margin 

 narrowly edged v^ith black, bordered with a single row of 

 punctures, less defined than in C. chinensis. Scutellum 

 narrowly ovate, its basal margin emarginate. Elytra 

 scarcely broader at the base than the thorax, slightly 

 attenuated towards the apex, convex, finely ' punctate- 

 striate, strise each impressed with a single row of fine 

 linear punctures, narrowly and faintly sulcate on the 

 inner disk, more strongly sulcate on the outer disk ; the 

 seventh stria from the suture obhque and joining the 

 sixth stria below its middle ; interspaces plane on the an- 

 terior portion of the inner disk, slightly convex towards 

 the apex, more strongly convex for their whole length on 

 the outer disk ; basal margin edged with black, the apex 

 rather paler than the disk. Body beneath dark piceous, 

 legs pale fulvous. Presternum nearly twice as broad as 

 long, apex scarcely deflexed, hinder margin truncate, its 

 lateral angles produced, acute. 



Ccenobius chinensis. 



Ovatus, valde convexus, niger, nitidus, antennis basi 

 fulvis, pedibus anticis quatuor nigro-piceis ; thorace for- 

 titer, remote punctato ; elytris regulariter sulcato-striatis, 

 striis tenuiter punctatis, interspatiis convexis. 



Long. I lin. 



Hab. — China ; collected by Mr. George Lewis. 



Eyes large, nearly contiguous, only separated at their 

 apices by a very narrow line ; antennge scarcely longer 

 than the head and thorax, the six outer joints slightly 

 thickened, black, the five lower ones fulvous. Thorax 

 rather more than twice as broad as long ; sides converg- 

 ing and rounded from base to apex ; basal margin very 

 slightly bisinuate on either side, the medial lobe acute ; 

 above transversely convex, cylindrical at the apex ; disk 

 strongly but remotely punctured, apical and basal mar- 

 gins bordered, the former with a deep transverse groove, 

 the latter with a single row of deep punctures. Scutel- 

 lum ovate, emarginate at the base. Elytra slightly 

 broader than the thorax, oblong, convex, regularly 

 sulcate-striate, the striae each impressed with a single 

 row of fine punctures ; interspaces convex, subcostate 

 near the outer border, shining, impunctate.
