456 THE INSECTS OF KINg's SOUND AND ITS VICINITY, 



37. SCOPODES DENTICOLLIS, Macl. 



Mast. Cat. Col. Sp. 207. 



38. ScOPODES SEXFOVEATUS, n.Sp. 



In size, form, and sculpture this species exactly resemVjles 

 S. denticollis, but the colour is of a more brilliant golden bronze, 

 and the three fovese near the suture of the elytra are larger and 

 deeper. 



Long. 2 lines. 



Sub-Family PSEUDOMORPHIDES. 

 39. SiLPHOMORPHA SPECIOSA, PaSCOe. 



Mast. Cat. Col. Sp. 246. 



40. SiLPHOMORPHA STRIATIPENNIS, n.sp. 



Black, nitid, the width one-half of the entire length. Head 

 nearly square, slightly convex, minutely striate, forming a rounded 

 prominent angle in front of the eyes, and slightly depressed near 

 the anterior angles. Thorax very transverse, three times wider 

 than long, and very minutely and rugosely punctate, with the 

 median canal scai'cely traceable on the apical half only. Elytra of 

 the width of the thorax, one-fourth longer than the width, striate- 

 punctate, with the interstices broad, flat and minutely punctate, 

 the lateral groove with a few lai-ge punctures, and suddenly 

 widened internally for a short space behind the humeral angles. 

 Legs and under surface of a pitchy nitid black. 



Long. 6 lines, lat. 3 lines. 



The species resembles in general appearance a number of other 

 species, especially S. Mastersii, Macl., but the striation and punc- 

 turation of the elytra are more profound, and the whole insect is 

 of a comparatively shorter and broader form.
