575. Nodostoma bituberculatum, Jac. P. Z. S. 1887, p. 76. 
Testaceous ; terminal joints of antennae black ; beneath obscure 
fulvous. 
Head very strongly and remotely punctured ; clypeus not 
separated from the face; antennae nearly as long as the body, 
second joint nearly as long as the first, fourth slightly longer than 
the third. Thorax twice as broad as long, narrowed in front, sides 
angulate near base ; surface strongly and closely rugose-punctate, 
without an anterior sulcus. Elytra very slightly depressed below 
base, puncturation nearly obsolete near apex ; humeral callus in 
shape of an elongate tubercle, followed immediately below by 
another smaller tubercle, space between these latter and the 
lateral margin deeply depressed. Underside darker fulvous. 
Eemora with minute tooth. 
Length 2 mm. 
Hah. Ceylon : Dikoya. Type in Coll. G. Lewis. 
The small size, strongly rugose thorax and the lateral elytral 
tubercles suffice to separate this species from its congeners. 
Sides of thorax rounded. 
576. Nodostoma maheense, sp. n. 
c? . Testaceous. Head with a few deep punctures at middle; 
clypeus deeply emarginate in front with the sides highly raised ; 
antennae filiform, third and following joints very elongate, last 
three wanting in the only specimen I have seen. Thorax about 
half as broad again as long, sides rounded and widened at the 
middle, anterior sulcus deep and entire ; surface very deeply and 
rather remotely punctured, punctures irregular^ placed ; disc 
somewhat strongly convex. Elytra oblong, basal portion raised, 
transversely impressed, posteriorly punctured within the depression 
and in front of the shoulders, rest of surface extremely minutely 
punctate, external and lateral margins narrowly fuscous. 
2 . Thorax less convex and widened at the sides. 
Length 3| mm. 
Hah. Malabar : Mahe ( Coll. Jacohy). 
The thorax is more convex and more strongly punctured than 
in N. andamanense, the elytra are nearly impunctate and have 
no black margins as in N. nigrohimarginatum, in which species 
the thorax is likewise more finely punctured and the elytra 
distinctly so. 
577. Nodostoma orientate, sp. n. 
Testaceous. Head and clypeus remotely but rather strongly 
punctured ; antennae with the third and fourth joints equal, each 
about half as long again as the second, terminal two thickened,
