Pedikis sudopacus, W'aterhouse. P. Z. S. loc. sup. cit. 



Closely allied to P. (Nydobates) sulciger, Boisd., but Inss shining 

 Entirely black ; the head much more closely and rather more strongly

 shining only in the middle : the impression on each side of the middle

 Elytra somewhat dull ; the striae nearest to the suture very lightly im- 

 liressed (except at the extreme apex) ; the lateral ones deeper, but much 

 less so than in P. sulciger ; the first three interstices flat, the lateral ones 

 very slightly arched, much less than in P. sulciger.
