MR. J. S. BALT ON SOME GET^ERA 



one on each side near the outer border. Thorax about one half 

 broader than long ; sides straight and slightly diverging from 

 the base nearly to the apex ; anterior angle slightly produced, 

 obtuse, hinder angle armed with an obtuse lateral tooth; upper 

 surface impressed with a large, shallow, trilobate fovea, w^hicli 

 covers nearly the whole central disk. Elytra parallel, convex ; 

 each elytron with seven or eight distinct longitudinal costifi, 

 their interspaces finely punctured. 



I possess two specimens of this species, both belonging to the 

 c5" sex. 



2. Cynorta apicipenms. Subfiliformis, parallela, flava, oculis, ely- 

 trisque apice nigris ; thorace quara Ion go vix latiore, disco leviter 

 trifoveolato ; elytris elevato-costatis, interspatiis punctatis. Long. 

 3 lin. 



Fern. ? Antennis longitudine corporem paullo superantibus ; clypeo 

 excavate, concave. 



Hah. Sarawak {Wallace). 



Narrowly elongate, parallel. Head strongly exserted ; clypeus 

 concave, smooth ; maxillary palpi robust, the upper two joints 

 conjointly ovate; antennae slender, filiform, longer than the body. 

 Thorax rather broader than long ; sides slightly diverging and 

 sinuate from the base to beyond the middle, thence converging 

 towards the apex ; upper surface impunctate, impressed with a 

 large shallow trifid excavation, which covers a considerable 

 portion of the surface. Elytra parallel, subcylindrical ; each 

 with eight or nine longitudinal costse, their interspaces distinctly 

 punctate. The abdomen in the only specimen before me is 

 shrivelled, so that I am unable to decide with certainty as to its 

 sex, but from the non dilated basal joint of the anterior tarsus I 

 believe it to be a female. 



3. Cynorta facialis. Subfiliformis, parallela, flava, oculis elytrisque 

 apice nigris, abdominis apice nigro-piceo ; thorace quam longo vix 

 latiore, disco laevi, pone medium bifoveolato; elytris parallelis, leviter 

 elevato-costatis, interspatiis distincte punctatis. Long. 2| lin. 



Mas. Clypei dimidio postico trigonato, flavo, medio fovea rotundata 

 impresso ; dimidio antico depresso, transversim concavo. 



Hal. Sarawak : a single specimen {Wallace). 



Clypeus with its upper half not depressed, trigonate, its 

 surface plane, impressed in the middle with a small round fovea ; 

 the lower half strongly depressed and separated from the upper
