scarcely produced ; surface with a deep oblique transverse groove 
at sides, disc impunctate, a single row of punctures close to lateral 
and posterior margins, latter without denticulation. Scutellurn 
narrow, linear, longitudinally concave at base. Elytra not broader 
at base than thorax, shoulders prominent, punctures deep, regular 
and distinct to apex, interstices at sides longitudinally convex, 
impunctate. Prosternum broad, its base slightly widened and 
truncate, surface transversely sulcate anteriorly and posteriorly.

Hab. Burma : Karennee. Type in Genoa Mus. 
Principally distinguished by the strongly grooved thorax. 
319. Ccenobius chalceus, sp. n. 
Black with slight aeneous gloss ; labrurn and tarsi beneath 
obscure fulvous. 
Head strongly and deeply punctured ; antennae in the type and 
only specimen wanting. Thorax strongly convex, sides narrowly 
margined, feebly rounded ; surface strongly and closely punctured 
at sides, the punctures elongate and partly confluent, middle of 
disc more sparingly punctate; median lobe short and triangularly 
pointed, preceded by a row of punctures which run parallel with 
the basal margin. Elytra with strongly tuberculate shoulders, 
surface strongly punctate-striate, the sides with larger punctures 
and eostate interstices. Sides of breast with a double row of 
punctures, middle irregularly punctured. 
Length Id mm. 
Hab. Nilgiris {Coll. II. E. Andreives). 
This species, of which I have seen only a single specimen, is not 
so deep a black as most of its allies, but has a distinct aeneous 
gloss; the thorax and elytra are more strongly and closely punctured 
than in any other Indian species of the genus and the legs are 
entirely black. 
3*20. Ccenobius seminigris, sp. n. 
Fulvous; terminal joints of antennae piceous; elytra black. 
Head with eyes that occupy the entire upper and lateral portions ; 
elypeus pale fulvous, distinctly punctured ; antennae extending to 
base of thorax, basal five joints fulvous, third and following two 
joints slender, rest widened, but distinctly longer than broad. 
Thorax subcylindrical, strongly narrowed in front, basal margin 
produced at middle into a very short pointed lobe; surface with a 
transverse sulcus behind the middle, extending across disc, entirely 
impunctate, posterior edge lined by a row of punctures. 8cutellum 
lanceolate, black. Elytra about one half longer than thorax, 
scarcely narrowed behind, apex of each broadly rounded ; surface 
strongly punctate-striate, each row of punctures commencing with 
a smali deep fovea near basal margin, the latter carinate, interstices
