Kuching, January (John Hewitt, B. A.). 



Face closely transversely striated, more strongly in the centre 

 than on the sides ; in the centre is a smooth, distinct, somewhat 

 oval tubercle. Front closely rugosely punctured, the sides trans-

 the centre. The area on the metanotum is large , commences 

 near the base , where it is rounded ; it bears broken irregulär 

 striae ; the sides at . the base are finely, closely transversely 

 striated. The furrow on the propleurae stoutly striated , the 

 striae distinct and clearly separated , the rest obliquely , closely 

 reticulated. The top of the mesopleurae stoutly striated , the 

 striae distinct, curved at the base, straight at the apex. Upper 

 part of metapleurae , above the keel , obliquely striated , almost 

 reticulated at the base ; the rest closely rugosely punctured. 

 Abdominal petiole opaque, depressed above, with the sides keeled ; 

 the sides are also keeled above and below, and on the basal half 

 are finely , irregulär ly obliquely striated. The sheaths of the
