312 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of new genera 



upper surface nitidous, closely covered with large round, 

 deeply-impressed punctures, rather less crowded on the 

 middle of the disk ; interspaces on the sides faintly 

 elevate-reticulate. Elytra broader than the thorax, ovate, 

 attenuated towards the apex, convex, strongly punctate- 

 striate, the stria next the suture irregularly punctured ; 

 interspaces plane, thickened near the apex, the interspaces 

 near the outer margin convex for their whole length ; 

 interspace between the first stria and the suture covered 

 with deep punctures, equal in size to those on the strise ; 

 inflexed limb deeply and closely punctured. 



ChcBtocnema nitens. 



Breviter ovata, convexa, nigro-cuprea, nitida ; antennis 

 fulvis, extrorsum pallide jDiceis ; subtus nigra, pedibus 

 fulvis, femoribus posticis nigro-piceis ; thorace obsolete, 

 sat remote punctate^ basi serie unica punctorum distinc- 

 torum impresso ; elytris fortiter et regulariter punctato- 

 striatis, interspatiis Isevibus, planis, externis vix convexi- 

 usculis. 



Long. I lin. Hab. — Batchian ; collected by Mr. 

 Wallace. 



Head rotundate, granulose-strigose ; front impressed on 

 either side with two or three deep foveee ; encarpge obsolete ; 

 carina defined, not elevated, oblong, its apex acute, con- 

 tiguous with the front ; clypeus triangular, coarsely punc- 

 tured on either side the carina ; antennee three-fourths the 

 length of the body. Thorax more than twice as broad as 

 long ; sides straight and slightly converging from the base 

 to just beyond their middle, thence rounded and converging 

 to the apex, anterior angles obtuse ; upper surface very 

 finely and rather distantly punctured, interspaces shining, 

 impimctate ; basal margin impressed with a single row of 

 large punctures. Scutellum scarcely broader than long, 

 semirotundate. Elytra broader than the thorax, oblong- 

 ovate, convex, strongly and deeply punctate-striate ; inter- 

 spaces shining, plane, those on the extreme outer edge 

 very slightly convex ; a few very minute punctures, only 

 visible under a deep lens, are scattered over their surfaces. 



Chcetocnema malayana. 



Oblongo-ovata, convexa, subtus nigra, supra laste cuprea, 

 nitida, pedibus antennisque rufo-fulvis, his extrorsum
